Coolness Factor
Hey guys here this is an updated version of my favorite thread I started on the otherside.
The most surprising thing about the TSX is just how cool this car is. Acura has always made some great cars, but people really don’t’ think cool when the think of Acura. What makes the TSX so cool???
30. Is it that ambient blue light over the center console?
29. How about those super neat mirrors with glass turn signals?
28. Touch screen Navi?
27. Voice recognition? “What time is it” “Current location” “Play CD disc 4”
26. 17” alloy wheels w/ low profile tires?
25. Every color and combination is just drop dead gorgeous?
24. Dual climate control? How many marriages will that save?
23. Heated seats, home-link, dimming mirror?
22. Telescoping, tilt steering wheel with audio controls?
21. Speed sensing wipers?
20. Dual power outlets?
19. All windows down with a remote?
18. Little amber round front signal lights?
17. Euro style oval fog lights?
16. Chrome trimmed door handles?
15. The thud you here when the door closes?
14. Trunk handle hidden under lip?
13. Pen holder, card holder, and hole for cell-phone wire in console?
12. Smooooth clutch?
11. Acura Door plates?
10. .85g skidpad?
9. Beautiful dual exhaust? What about those reflectors right above them?
8. 8 air bars, TCS, VSA?
7. Drive by wire?
6. Bottom hinged gas pedal
5. HID xenon projector lights?
4. The gauges? Nothing more needs to be said!!!!
3. FWD with road feel?
2. 7.2, 0-60?
1. Butta?

Holy Crap! There are eight airbags. I just thought the front side and side curtain were the same thing. I feel like it's christmas and I just got two more airbags for my car!

33. Neatest size (183.3", 69.4")
That is, if you happen to like this particular size -- as I do. There aren't many cars of about this length -- and of those, most are a couple of inches wider, which to me makes significant compromises in the sportiness and tight feel. (Also I'd have a lot more trouble getting them into my little garage! I know this all too well; I struggled with a TL-S for a year.)
Considering width as well as length, I think the only other cars in this size range are the Passat, the Saab 9-3, and the Infiniti G35 sedan. That's not very many.

But I guess #53 could be shortened to the uniqueness of just one keyhole on the entire car!
