As striking as the TSX is, Acura increased its visibility even further with Daytime Running Lights (DRL). To ensure that the DRLs do not fool you into thinking your headlights are on at night, the headlights will automatically turn on as darkness approaches. The HID headlights brighten the road for both the low and high beams, standard low-mounted halogen fog lights help light the road beyond ground fog, and new, easy-to-see turn-signal indicators built into the sideview mirrors make your turning intentions clear to those around you.

does the 06 have this feature?
"You can use the Multi-Information Display (MID) to customize several different vehicle functions according to your personal preferences. For instance, you can choose if and when you want the doors to automatically lock or how long the interior lights or headlights remain on after the ignition has been turned off. The MID will easily guide you through these and other customizable settings via three steering wheel-mounted controls."

.tell me about it. i am this close to buy an 06 and i saw the website today. I mean I had known for a long time that tsx07 is just around the corner but still, it was good to see 06 tsx on their website tilll now.
Still, money is going to be the most important factor. The last quote that i got from a dealership in chicago for an 06 TSX was about 27.5K. Another 2.5K for TPMS and DRL?? Nah, i dont think so.

I don't think it has bi-xenons (well, not 2 sets of HID's).
The wording posted above makes it seem as such, but I'm fairly sure it's still going to be low (HID) + high (halogen)... when you have the high-beams on... just like it is now (both sets of lights are on).
DRL's in Canada are a lower-wattage high-beam. Probably the same in the USA now.
I am a HUGE fan of DRL's... always have been. I have no idea why the USA is so slow to adopt the idea, but good on Acura for not giving anyone the option. DRL's are proven to be safer, period.

the '06 does have it... didn't you take time to play around with all the settings when you first got the car? i swear the day i got the car i spent like 2 hrs sitting in the damn driveway with the thing~!! haah ...
The only thing that that description makes it seem like is that it has auto locks when you start the car, but i'm pretty sure (unless they added those for '07 MY) that that's the auto re-lock for the security system

For those that just shuffle their songs on their Ipod, this would work and save you $214 plus installation:
A built-in auxiliary jack puts your iPod® (or other MP3 player) on tour. Located conveniently inside the front center console, your iPod® can tap into the audio system, complete with a separate volume control and power supply.

All TSX models are equipped with Xenon High-Intensity Discharge headlights for both the low and high beams. Xenon lights cast a whiter and brighter light for improved clarity. The HID lenses also allow a more precise beam pattern that increases road visibility without blinding oncoming drivers.

because your HID lights are on even when your high beams are on too....
