Maybe I should try the TSX. It just seems underpowered to me. The RSX-S seems about right and it has 10 more HP in a much lighter chassis. I just assume the TSX will feel too underpowered for me.
Try it.

I'm following this with great interest. I had an Acura CL S. Nice car, but a little nose heavy and I disliked the A/T. Traded that for an '02 RSX. Without a doubt, the most entertaining car I've owned until I got hooked on this board and of course I traded my RSX S for my S2000. I was then in a position where I needed something for the winter. '04 Jeep Wrangler. Mistake. Rear main seal, U-joint problems and more. Thanks, D/C! To the point, finally, I'm looking as well. I went to my Acura dealer and sat in the TL and while striking, I feel it's overkill for me. I sat in the TSX and It has a suberb interior. Just great styling with plenty of room. A fine looking exterior,too. I have no use for four doors, which brought my back to the RSX. Acura did a good job with the refreshining especially the headlights, the "lip" on the tail, and 17" wheels.
Got to dump the Jeep in any case. What a mistake!! Bill, drive the TSX and report back please.

i truly feel the tsx is underpowered ....heck their are mini vans w/ better times both 0-60 and 1/4 mile

however it really is a great car no dought ....i like the TSX its got alot goin for it , it just needs alot more

if the TSX had some grunt ...i would own one , dont get me wrong its not slow by any means just not fast enough for me ...its down right fun to drive though and if u choose the TSX over the LGT thats on u ....after u drive the LGT ...let me know what color your goin to get

Bill, you might've discussed this with me already, but what about the RL?

Seemed awfully nice when I sat in it at the WOrcester car show a few months ago.

The Legacy GT wagon is a candidate for my wife's replacement. I just won't tell her about the 'T' part

It's funny, but the look is my biggest problem with it. Some car mags describe the look as menacing or sporty. I think it looks kinda soft and non-descript. The looks have no character to me. And it doesn't help that I can't tell it apart from a TSX or and RL. They all look the same to me.
