It's a testament to the TSX's attractiveness as a balanced, fun-to-drive, appealing car. I hope the next iteration has the same finesse, value, and joie de vivre of this car. Not just a turbocharged engine.

I still have that too. I think TSX earned respect with that.
So may I ask, which car took the award for the BEST SPORTS SEDAN?

Car magazine guys usually tire of the first-year charmer.

All I care about is was it the best car in its class for my money at the time I bought it. In 05, nothing beat its mix of virtues.
While I still think that holds true today, a 3 year run on the ten best is pretty standard for Acuras.

Not bad for a car with a 5 year old design would you say, its got a minor face lift in 06. 9 years in a row on the list.

^ can't say i'm surprised ... none of the lexus's i've driven inspire any type of driving excitement. that's not to say that the tsx is for the "thrill-seeker," but at least its fun to drive

i thought to get on the 10 best list a car had to have some significant new feature, new body, different engine tuning, new engine design, etc. i don't think tire pressure monitor counts as significant

It came on the car. Your dealer probably removed it when they sold you the car.
It's been on my car since day one.

Lets be proud of our car.. I think the TSX being on the 10 best cars list for 3 years has set the standards pretty high in their segment... before that no other car gave you the power/handling and luxury factors the tsx did. Now after seeing the results and demand, they all have to provide the same standard our tsx have yet at a lower price.. i think that is pitiful.. let mazda/nissan/lexus/toyota etc, car makers price their cars at the same price and see if they do better.. I fear not.. the mazdaspeed 3 is a great example of that.. enough said.. the tsx will be back next year!

And if you flip through the mag you'll notice that the all new LS460L finished dead last in a comaprison test vs a Jag, 750iL, S550 and A8L. Not the start Lexus was hoping for I'm sure.
