Well they couldn't find Arctic Blue with Auto and Nav so I settled for CG. Took about a month or so of waiting time which I'm sure is less than many of you spent but it felt like forever. This is going to be the longest 27 hours of my life until its 27 hours before I turn 21

congrats! just "settled" for a CG eh?

Ya I like it but I really like the blue. Just not waiting 3 months or so for one to roll around so I'm happy with the CG. I'm coming from a 92 lude. How was the change?

WOO HOO!!!!! congrats and enjoy. Read as much as you can about the TSX before you go pick it up.

Congratulations! I know about the wait for a Carbon Grey! I lost track of the other colors in 6MT TSX's my salesperson has offered me, but if I'm spending that kind of loot, I better get my first choice.

didnt take long getting used to the rev happy engine. the only problem i had was getting used to the 6th gear. i drove on the highway going 70-80 for a good 10 minutes before I noticed I was still in 5th

Brad

I know the feeling. What good is sixth gear if five will do? At "average" highway cruising speeds (in my area that's 60-75 mph in a 65 mph zone), what's a practical use of 6th gear?

TypeTSX

6th gear is good for long distance cruising at a lower rpm to maximize fuel mileage.

Brad

Ah, of course! That's not something one can often do in my area, the San Francisco Bay Area unless one is on the freeway at 6AM on a Sunday morning.

Congrats, I have also waited a month for my TSX to come.

I Couldnt agree more...why people settle for their second or third color choice is beyond me
They obviously Dont wanna wait and are tempted by other colors that are on the lot.
For almost 30 grand i will wait for EXACTLY what i want or i know i wont really be happy in the long run. These cars will last over 15 years, a long time...be patient and get what you want, not what is currently on the lot
My.02 cents

FUNNY THING! Just a few minutes ago, my salesperson informed me of the arrival of my #2 choice of colors (SSM/Ebony). (My first choice was CGP/Ebony.) Decisions, decisions!!! I've already turned down my 3rd choice (Arctic Blue/Ebony), 4th choice (Black/Ebony), and non-choice (Milano Red).

Will I or won't I? That is the question!!!!!

I wasn't waiting 3+ months for an Arctic Blue 5AT with Navi and I did really like the CG as well so I went for it. I really needed the car quickly, if I had the luxury of time I definitely would have waited but I'm still very satisfied. Tonight was a good night of driving and I'm sure I'll put on quite a few miles tomorrow.

Champ

glad to hear your happy, thats all that counts, at least your in the type of car you wanted...the awesome TSX!!

Brad, same thing happened to me. I had been waiting almost a month for CG/Ebony, but when I saw the SSM/Ebony I wrote the check same day. No regrets at all!! I love the SSM/Ebony. It was my 'second' choice but I got sick of waiting for the CG and the only other two TSX's I had seen in my area were both CG.. Good luck !!!
