That is the way it should be and I wish they would do this for all Acuras.

I took notice of this at the Anaheim Autoshow that the 06 TL still had Honda on the windows verses the RL which had Acura. At that time, they had no 06 TSXs or MDXs at the show to compare.

Apparently, the rev limiter on the 06 model is upped to 7300 RPM.

Here's a review. I think the car is a RBP.

I love watching it too and had to watch it a couple more times.

One thing I noticed was the wheels. One can argue whether you like them sitting still or not (I like them) but they look fantastic on the go. Check them out!

Yeah, the wheels don't look half bad when on the move. Wish the video had shown a lil' more than just the car driving around but rather some interior and engine shots... no worries... this is the week for the ride to arrive... hopefully!

I know, I watched it several times. The wheels are growing on me too and do look good in motion. Which is good, because when I get mine I hope the wheels don't have much sitting time.

I watched the video a few more times today. It helps me wait until next week for my 06 TSX to arrive. Most of all it helps affirm my choice of the Royal Blue Pearl as my colour of choice.

It looks great in the video. So far I have only seen it in person on a dull snowy day. I was okay with it and seemed like the safe choice after the AS was taken out of my choices.

I hope like some arranged marriages, that it ends in love!

Actually if my TSX would have arrived last Friday it would have arrived to snowy cold streets. (Not that I would not have taken it in a heartbeat) It's suppose to warm up a little next week and hopefully the streets will be dry for the drive home, when I first show it off to my extended family.

'06 steering wheel

Noticed the top leather portion of the steering wheel has a slightly more textured feel. Visually also...

Don't worry excited, you're going to LOVE the new RBP color. I'm thrilled with mine. IMHO it's the only other color that can give CG a run for it's money (they all look nice tho).

Is it Alabaster Silver navi with auto?

I called Acura Centre of Saskatoon and they did not have one. Is there somewhere else in Saskatoon that I am not aware of that sells them?

You may have been pulling my chain, but if it was there, I would have grapped it.
