Nice TL rims
Btw, I got a car wash today at the Acura dealer and saw this guy in the current TL say nice TSX.
I think our TSX is getting popular cause I went in the showroom while waiting for my car to finish, I didn't see any TSX in the showroom and none on the parking lot besides the loaners, but I saw a lot of TL's. I wonder why?

it literally blinds people, i see people doin the hand over eyes to cover the gleem all the time

I still get looks from peeps...........still not that many TSX's around J-ville. My handle in chat is lovmytsx and peeps are always asking, "what is a TSX"? My custom plates are the same and sometimes people point at it...........I laugh. If they are looking at my plates, they are OWNED!

Every now and then, some guy will say "Nice car!" while I'm in the parking lot. And once, an unmarked police car pulled me over and complimented me on the car before lecturing me about my "aggressive" driving...

I live in vancouver so alot of young ppl drive this well alot of young ppl I've seen also drive sl65's and M3's, but anyways everyone of all ages check out the car. I get compliments when I'm in parking lots and what not. Since I put the system in alot of girls check out the car well guys too, but more girls. The first day it was put in I was driving around saturday night and these girls around my age got their car towed by the police (most likely because they have their novice licience and they are only suppose to have one passenger and or had alcohol in the car) and as they are talking to the police some of the girls just turned and stared untill the light turned green and I drove off.

do you think acura should come up with a commercial like that one chrysler did with the 300C, where everyone did double takes and stares on the 300C. i think they should do that

I was at the dentist yesterday, and when I came out to my car, there was an older (than me) lady that was driving by. She stopped, and said "Cute car! My daughter would love that car." I was half miffed she called it "cute", but on the other hand it was a complement. Now where is this daughter of yours? She's got to be about my age.

It's the strangest thing. Over a month now with my TSX and no comments yet. But the other day I took my wife's 99 Prelude out, and some guys in a parking lot were telling me how awesome my car is and joking around asking if they could have it. WTF? I wanted to tell them I had a brand new TSX at home, but I'm not one to brag. I guess the Prelude's got quite a following, especially now that it's extinct.

I always get asked about the car from random ass people. At the gas station, at school at the airport, by cops, by pedestrians at a stop light, the acura dealer, and people honk at me until I roll down the window. "What kind of Honda is that?" "Is that a R Type" "Is your car the new 4 door Integra in Japan?" etc. But honestly I get more attention from guys than girls. Guys want to know every detail about the car and girls just look and look.

They're saying to themselves....is that the guy in accounting? We pay him too much.

Was at the paint store buying paint for my new body kit yesterday and some dude saw it outside and came in and hunted me down to talk to me about it. My TSX always gets jocked! I guess it makes it easier to submit that payment every month

But not really. The parking structure where I work is dedicated to different levels of employment... my co-workers know I am not an accountant.

My car gets a lot of attention in my town. It's one of the only TSX's in town...when I'm turning, sometimes I'll catch people turning their heads all the way around as I'm turning. I get people asking me all the time "what kind of honda is that?!" And then I have to explain.....lol. Damn hicks in Montana.

I was filling up the other day and this young man on the other island asked me if my TSX was an 07. I replied that it was an 04. He just kept looking at it. He stared at my car again as I pulled out........

I get attention from mostly guys that want to know what kind of wheels and body kit I have. Guys at the Napleton Acura are always looking at it when I bring it in for service. Not too much attention from women though, the only time I got women staring was outside of a club here when driving by the entrance

Every once in a while someone will say something. Some guy in an Accord drove past me the other day and hollered out his window, "Nice car!" I thought that was pretty cool. For the most part, though, the TSX flies under the radar, which is fine with me

I don't think I've ever seen another young male in a TSX. Mostly 40-50 year old women driving them where I live. My 2004 was rare for about a year, now it seems like every tenth car is a TSX.
Of course I drove the car to my parents' house about a week ago, and their 65 year-old neighbor went on and on about what an awesome car it was. This guy has a Lexus, and he's marveling at how cool the Acura was. I told him it was the cheapest Acura made, and he just rolled his eyes like, "Yeah, right." The guy would probably stroke out if I took my ///M over there

Yeah i agree that a lot of older people drive the TSX, but correction it is not the cheapest Acura made because you forgot about the RSX.

Nah, no double takes or staring that I've noticed. Car isnt that notable looking, but mine's all stock though too.
I see tooo many middle age women driving them...will be selling soon.

I live in Florida, and alot of fraternity brothers complement me on my car. Secondly, my TSX is the reason why i met my ex-girlfriend...however i quickly learned that she was only interested in my car. Short relationship.

There's a dude in my area that I see pretty often. He has a royal blue TL, and every time I see him, we kinda stare at each other as we go by. It's kinda funny. Dunno if it's b/c I'm a chick or because he's interested in my car.
A few weeks ago, I was at Target and the car got stared at. A car full of 3 or 4 guys pulled up next to me as I was getting ready to leave, and they kept looking over. They got out and turned around to look back again as they walked up the aisle.
It seems to get stares a lot for some reason. I keep her shiny at all times.

I get them here and there from men and women, especially when the lights are on.
I love staring at other TSX's too even when I'm not in my car. Gotta make other TSX drivers feel good about their cars, right?
I've noticed there are a LOT of hot chicks that rock the TSX, too. Anyone else notice that?
