This will be a sleeper for sure...

I like the TSX and loved my test drives. The handling was good, the auto tranny shifted better then any Acura in recent memory and the sport shift was better. Quality was good and materials looked rich.
That being said I love the techno look of the TL's interior. It should have more buttons as it is the middle model. If you feel the TL is bad, wait till the new RL comes out. I'm betting it will have even more. Look at any car line. Audi A4's some buttons, A6 even more, and the A8L looks like it has a control panel from NASA. On the other end, the Sunfire has little in the way of business, then go from there all the way to the Bonni SSE with all of its program this, program that, button here, button there... I think I got the point across.

No remorse here either... the new TL is a good looking car (much better than the 2003), but too big for me.

The range of speculation is anywhere from about 185 to 191", with some sources even saying it would be BIGGER than the current TL which would put it at 193 or more. Pretty clearly it seems we can now eliminate that last part -- but I can't tell with any confidence from the new pics where it would be between 185 and 191.

If I compare photos to photos, I like the TSX better hands down, proportions are better, it is more crisp than the TL (front corners are just too round, no sharp edge, among others).
I'll have to wait and see the TL in person before final judgement though.

I know most people here really like the 04 TL, but I have to say I really don't like it very much at all. In my opinion, the TSX has a much better interior and exterior.
