It's not the first turbocharged Honda -- by a long shot.

No MT.

5-speed auto-manual

Mazda has practically the same car coming out, has some letters for a name as well.

I was thinking about the RDX also, but honestly I'd wait for a car to be out before I made any decision to buy it.

I think I want the 2.3L turbo and SH-AWD- in my TSX- for free.

RDX is gonna be popular. Not really my cup of tea, but expect to be sick of looking at them. They're gonna be everywhere.

I highly doubt it.

We all know Honda/Acura. They have their ways of limited the availabilities of their cars(or as far as I'm concerned). At least for the good first half of the year. It's their way of justifying their mark-ups. In my experience of looking into TypeR, Civic SI, S2000, Odyssey,....heck including my TSX, it involved some sort of waiting. I had to order it and wait some time to get it, since it was a blk/on blk with navi. I don't thing there are many TSX rolling with a navi yet.

What I'm sick of seeing is Nissan/Infiniti (FX and Z) all over the road. Those thing must be mass produced or something. So I doubt Acura would be anywhere close to them yet. At least not for now.
