CG for guys

Personally I like the CG the best out of the color choices of the TSX, and was just
wondering if CG is good color for a guy. I see a lot of male drive their TSXs in CG
which looks cool.
And one more thing that I am wanting to know... what is the meaning of the TSX?
as applied in TL as ''Total Luxury'' wrx STi as in ''Subaru Technica International''
I am sure the TSX also has meaning of the name TSX..

You see a lot of male drivers in CG, not because it is a "guys" color, but because it is the most popular color. Get what YOU want. Personally, I don't care for CG all that much for myself, no offense to CG owners, just my opinion.

Post a pic of yourself and let us decide if you look good in it.





j/k, don't think there is a guys or girls color. Get what YOU like and don't worry what others think.

True, besides all the folks I see at the meets. I've only seen one other TSX male driver in my area. Other drivers are women, and when I wave, they all think I'm hittin' on them =/

I only see male drivers here. I wish I saw girl drivers here...that'd mean the girls around here actually like my car lol

CGP is one of the most popular colors. I originally went to the dealer for a NBP, but the night before I read a post that said that NBP was hard to keep clean and avoid swirl marks.

CGP is pretty easy to keep clean...dirt doesn't show too much on it either.

I sometimes wish I had chosen a different color...but that's mostly because I hate looking around and seeing other CGP tsx's on the road. I guess I have to mod it heavily to make it look unique lol

CG is a grandpa color. Very blah. Artic Blue or Pearl White are much nicer and more eye catching. By the way, I drive a CG.

CG baby.. due to the fact that it kinda changes color depending on lighting. But sometimes I wish i would have gotten a NHB or maybe even a MR . PWP looks great too but i can't see myself getting a white car. I'm not into the ABP at all for some reason.

Anway, i see alot more female TSX drivers though.

I have to agree. Acura really flooded the market with CG, it is...was the "new silver." Everytime I went to a dealer, they were like, "you will have to wait for the color you want, but we can give you a great deal a CG TSX!"

Get what the color you want...even the girly pearl white if you like!

WTF - PWP is not a girly color. It is one of the best looking colors on the TSX IMO

I wanted the silver w/ ebony and my wife wanted the Carbon Gray w/ quartz. It was her turn for a new car and she won out (Mama ain’t happy, no-body is happy). After 3 months, I like the color choice she made.

Besides, I rather have the ladies liking my car and checking it out than guys.

I agree, it is a really nice color, very rare too! Too bad they only offered ebony until '06. But the pearl in the white is kind of like a prerequisite for all luxury cars.

As long as you don't get MSM, which is a discontinued color anyways. That color on a TSX is feminine to me.

Whatever color you feel manly enough to drive around in. If something like the color of your car makes you question your manhood, then you've got other issues.

i have cgp. i think it's a beautiful color...i like how it the blueish hue to it. it does get quite ugly when it's dirty, but i'd say that's the same to all colors. but when it's washed and waxed, it's beautiful.

i saw my first royal blue on the road, and wow...

Yeah, AGREED. I would not have gotten the PWP if it did not come with ebony interior.

Milano Red is the only color for me. Well, technically red is the only color I've ever wanted any car in... but pick the one you want. CG is pretty nice, but it's not red!

I wanted a TSX and when my old car left me I didn't have time to wait. My wife and I had several dealers looking all over for unspoken-for RBPs but when there were none to be found our choices were Black or CGP. I wanted Black, my wife wanted CGP and so the choice was made: CGP. I'm happy w/ it.

I've had a CG TSX since April of '03. No problems here and people think the car is great and they love the color. I personally feel it's a very masculine color...but still wish I would have gotten the Arctic Blue Pearl as it really pops.

I think the design of the car can be enhance or ruin by its color. Yellow does look good on a Ferrari F430 but I don’t think it would look good on a TSX. Purple or Lime green is great on a VW Beetle but those colors would suck on a TSX.

Carbon gray appeals to a very large range of people. I don’t know if more women prefer the Carbon Gray compared to the other color choices. Carbon Gray was the only choice my wife wanted for the TSX.

If more women lean towards Carbon Gray, Do you want your car to be a chick magnet or a dick magnet?

I am a CG owner as well. Nice color. I have seen black, white, red, silver, and

the royal blue around here. Nothing compares to my CG with black interior.

I almost purchased this color combo this past weekend. I was not planning on buying a car. I had not even researched prices of used TSXs in my area. It just caught my eye when we drove by. Nicest car I have driven in a while.......
