hey there
i was wondering if anyone has bought a green TSX
i have yet to see one in person
does this color sell much?
if anyone got it, can u post some pics?

thanks

 

I saw one the other day for the first time, it looked pretty good but a little out of place since they're so rare

 

There was one on the lot when i test drove -- looks great with parchment (only interior selection i think)

Anywho -- I considered it as I love green as a color for cars, esp forest green. That being said, the color looked more Dark Gray than anything else -- think Anthracite. I love green, but it only looked green in direct sunlight and in the color swatch in the book. Otherwise, it looked much too gray for me.

I chose RBP bc when it wasn't blue, it was purple or black and that was a better alternative for me.

Bottom Line: Too Gray to be called Deep Green

 

i saw one at my local dealership and thought it was gray until i walked up to it..not a bad color though..

 

They're extremely rare.

My accord is green...I would have gone for DGP if it had an ebony interior (accord has a light color similar to parchment, and it's so hard to keep clean...thus I wanted to avoid parchment in the TSX)

 

I think I've seen only one around my area of the planet....... It is a very DARK green.

 

I saw one on the dealer lot when I was shopping. If it came with ebony interior instead of parchment I would have ordered one.

 

Same here, if it came in ebony we would have ordered one instead of CG. My wife was a little upset that it only came in parchment. She didn't like the plood.

 

I have seen DGP in the TSX and TL, but I don't think it would go with the Ebony interior??

 

Then you're wrong DGP/ebony would be hawt.

 

hmmm. i have one. i hope not the only one. the silver one was on the showroom floor and had miles. i took a walk back in the lot, they had black , white, and a green one with plastic still on it. i wanted a recently built one, and just traded in a black corolla which i hated to keep clean. i figured the black interior would be too hot in the summer, and i havent had a luxury car yet so i figured the parchment with wood looked sharp.

 

Looks like you're the first deep green AZ'er so far Now you can start a DGP thread and be the only poster in it!

 

Sorry -- but I also have a DGP 06 TSX, so you're not alone. I had a green Subaru before this, but this is a very different, more subtle, green. The color does look grey under certain lighting conditions and almost blue under others. It's a great color.

I also wasn't crazy about the parchment interior at first and would have preferred something else. But it's grown on me. I like it now and have received many compliments on it.

I posted pix before, under Washing and Waxing. I'll try to find the thread.....

 

Here's the thread with pix:

Keep an eye out for the current model Honda Odyssey's. There's a color called Sage Brush Pearl, and Odyssey's in that color are all over the place. It looks like metallic charcoal most of the time, but in the right lights you can see hints of green/teal/blue. MDX also has the same color, too. I wonder if the Sage Brush is similar to the TSX's DGP.

 

My '06 TSX is DGP and I love it; the only one I've seen in my neck of the woods!

 

wow, this color is awesome
all of my previous cars were green (Clover Green Pearl)
i would really love to see a forest green TSX

how come this color does not sell much? is it the parchment interior alone?

 

Taking delivery on my 2006 TSX AT/Nav in deep green pearl tonight color is awesome and rare

 

Pictures please. This is a very very rare color. I have never seen it.

 

I test-drove a 2006 DGP at Carmax in Laurel, MD while shopping for TSX's back in fall of 2009. I ultimately went with a 2005 PWP that was a better overall deal (was hesitant of white in the beginning but I love it), but the green was very compelling. It's definitely a rare color to see and worth getting if that's really the deciding factor.

 

I love my '08 DGP one, even I did not realize its rare when I bought it last year...

 

Deep Green Pearl was the exact color I wanted because the dark green color (Clover Green Pearl) was something I loved about my old Civic- I know it's not nearly the same color but with green becoming increasingly rare (BMW has now restricted dark greens to the 7-Series and Mini, Porsche is phasing it out with new models, and Mercedes has dropped it. JLR is the last automaker to still offer it fairly consistently), I was excited about the prospect of anything close.

But, since I was buying used in a market that doesn't see a lot of Acuras, I had to buy what was available, and that was NBP over Parchment. The plood's not my favorite and neither is the NBP, but both have grown on me with time.

 

I hope to see pictures too. I would have gotten that color, but my current car at the time was green, so I wanted something different. Unfortunately, although my salesperson was trying to get me to buy a rarer color, I unknowingly went with the most popular color....

 

The Deep Green Pearl is a difficult color to capture accurately as it has a chameleon-like character, shifting from green to purple to gray depending on the viewing angle & time of day. It's green base coat contains tiny metallic flecks of silver, turquoise, and magenta.

My first TSX was a metallic gray '04 and I soon tired of seeing myself coming and going... had I waited a while longer to buy instead of when they first came out I would have chosen a rarer color and gone with a lighter interior as black gets old after a while.

When I decided to get a newer model I was looking for a white '06-'08 as I think that color is the most flattering of the lines of the first gen TSX. However once I saw and drove my DGP I was smitten, and have really enjoyed the rare and beautiful green exterior paired with the Parchment leather. I added a set of jaspe Cocomats to accent the tan, brown, and black interior colors and give the interior some "snap."

My attempts to upload a picture today have not been very succesful so I'll give it a try when the connection is better.

 

It looks more gray than green in this shot:

 

Here's a pic of my '06 DGP next to my '04 CGP:

 

I know it's an old thread but I have a contribution

 

I wasn’t aware of how rare this color is.
