Should have said Invoice + $700 + Destination ... no fees.

Actually, I can't get to the dealers until about 6:00pm so you may be on the road before me.

Nope, I'm not off work until 8pm PST. I'm going to leave a little early because the dealer is picking my wife and I up at home so that we can ride back together in the new car.
So we won't be at the dealership until 8:30pm PST.
By the way, is your car a manual or an auto? Navi?
Just strange that ours was the only '06 TSX to arrive in this shipment to the dealer. All of there other ones are Autoshifters.

We where not planning to buy fog lights based on how the looked on '05. But these are well intigrated. Even the wheels look nice. I would not trade back to the '05 style, but I do like the RSX-S wheel a little better. I understand peoples opinions from the pictures, I had my reservations as well, but they look classy in person, just not quite agressive like most would like. Guess that is what A-Spec is for.

I remember it because I thought people would be paying MSRP for the 2005, so I got my 2004. No regret there though, since 2004 still have the bragging right of Hondata.

My wife thinks it's her car, what she doesn't know won't hurt her. Most of my life I never thought I would drive an automatic but age does something to you, we have three Acuras all automatics.

I hate to sound dumb, but what's the difference between the ground package and A-Spec? I saw the body kit add ons in the Price and Build section of Acura's web site. I was thinking that those were A-Spec but maybe I'm mistaken?

. I'm off to the dealer .The price increase of $1,100 is different than what my salesman lead me to believe yesterday. When I get back from my trip, my TSX will have had all of the rust proofing, paint and leather protection, clear bra and remote starter accessories already added. The greater price increase will be an interesting discussion and perhaps a negotiating point.
Congrats Feliz

If I don't catch your post regarding how much you love it, congrats again.
Congrats to you to markcoburn as well.
I am glad to hear that the price increase is a little lower.

Photos just don't show how smooth everything looks. All the exterior featurs are smoothly intigrated. The wheel gap is not nearly as bad as the photos look. The front is much more beefy and agressive than the cartoonish way it comes across in the photos. The wheels have a high tech look. The spokes seem so thin at places that it like the rim is suspended around the hub. Looks light and strong at the same time.
We drove it around for a few hours last night, but went easy on it. There is plenty of torque for a 4-banger. I can easly leave it in 4th for 35-45 mph around town and still accelerate easily without an down-shift.

Hmm...the wheels don't look as bad on the black...
I guess I'm gonna have to go and take a test drive when my car comes in to decide. I should be getting a set of TL wheels to go on it for the 3 decent seasons we get here in DC and will keep the OEM wheels for the winter.

Then I'm definitely bringing you a case of bird flu, you crazy canuck.
And as for the wheels, I will have to keep them as a winter set. I am getting TL wheels for the other three seasons. Isn't that enough?!

Winter's a long time have the dealer swap out your 04's.
And why TL rims?

As for the TL wheels, I got a good deal on them from a fellow member and they included better tires too. Can't turn down that and I don't mind the look of 17s.

I've also got to get a close up shot of the wipers. They are trick. Even the dealers where checking them out.
I know that it seems like a silly thing to be excited about, but I do live in the NW.
