1 more day!

I get my ABP/Quartz w/NAV tomorrow! Only 24 more hours! It's a killer, I've been waiting since Aug 1st when I read the 06 changes off of Vtec.net. If only I could get my mind on something else the time would pass faster.

Well, actually I don't have a car right now. I sold my '97 Accord to a friend a while back. My wife and I are sharing her car.

Yeah, I like the ABP a lot. Although it seems to get bashed on here some. I was very happy they offered Quartz with it this year since I prefer lighter interiors.

how much?

What did you pay for yours ?

I found a new leftover 2005 ABP w/ quartz and they were willing to give it to me for $28,000....about $31,000 OTD

I ended up deciding on a leftover 2005 White w/ Parchment, got it for 28,100 and they waived the destination and prep....got it for $30,400 OTD

Why were the prices not the same? Different dealer?

Hey, it looks like my car except I have CGP. The ABP looks great though, I've only seen it in the dark at the dealership. Thanks for the pics. Congrats on a fine purchase btw.

Very pretty!!! The ABP is very nice indeed! And who the heck hates ABP? I've always liked it. You don't see too many of them.

Taf, your car looks so good I'm not going to give you any shit about your choice in trannies!

Enjoy it in good health!

Ah, but the rub is that the car drives much better after 10,000 miles! Smooth and silky.

Great looking TSX! Congrats!

That colour isn't offered in Canada. If it was it would have been on my short list.

According to acura.ca, it isn't available. It used to be in previous years, though. There's only been one 05 ABP sold where I am. I see it once in awhile.
