Good Lord! Production #'s

VIN: JH4CL96844C0 27288

They're spittin out TSX's like there's no tomorrow! I thought there were only in the 25's until I found that VIN at Ann Arbor Acura's website. I guess the value is too good to pass up.
The TSX is

I belive they also make the Japanese Accord at the same factory, so the VIN is not a good measure of sales in the U.S.

The TSX is definitely a good value!

Ahhh...I see. Thanks for setting me straight. I was worried the TSX was losing its exclusiveness at an alarming rate. :'(

AFAIK, there are no interleaved VIN's between markets. Even Canadian TSX's get their own build sequence #'s that are separate from the US. There's a model / market identifier after the CL968 part.

The TSX has been on sale since last Apr. With 1800-2000 units sold a month, having sequence#'s 27xxx in the pipeline doesn't seem farfetched.

the most common TSX color I've seen is the silver. 27K is a lot more than 15K, but it's not like I see one everyday, unlike the Accord. but, i do see at least 1 TSX other than mine every week in the Chicagoland area and burbs.

i was shopping at best buy the other day and saw a silver TSX being driven by a retired guy.

You know that in my town (population ~100,000), there are about 3 TSXs. That is including mine. Tulare County there are about 5 TSXs. Tons of RSXs and a few MDX, even a couple of TLs (just not an 04). We are pretty deprived.

There are only 2 TSXs in SLO, pop 50,000. I heard of only one other in nearby Los Osos. I saw the first TL yesterday on hwy 1.

There is an estimated 200 million cars in America so even if there are 30,000 TSX's out there that only makes for a ratio of 1 TSX for every 6,666 cars on the road. Still pretty rare.

I see at least one or two TSX a day here. They seem to be getting more popular. I am guessing 30k VIN numbers by April.

I can't believe how many TSXs I saw yesterday at my dealership in for the 10k service. I know for sure I haven't seen all those cars out on the road before. They are definitely getting more popular, but compared to the TL, which I'm seeing all over the place now, they're still not quite as common.

In the parking garage of my building, there are 4 (!) tsxs that i see every day. At school, in the parking lot, there are 3.

And, being the first, I take responsibility for starting the trend. YES, IT WAS ME!

Hey, there's four in my garage too! We don't live in the same building do we? There's a MR, IBP, NBP in the same row.

Was the TSX released in Canada first? It just feels like there are a lot more Canadian TSX owners than there are US ones. I don't know maybe it just that all the sites for JDM parts are mostly in Canada --at least the ones that I've been referred to.

Anyhoo..I work in downtown San Francisco and during rush hour the city is full of Bimmers, MB, Audi, old and new TLs, but when it comes to the TSX I see one every 2-3 days and it probably the same one (CG). I hardly see any on freeway either...

I'm just glad my new car isn't a Honda Accord where is just needle in a hay stack at least for now.

There are two new TLs that park oftentimes beside each other at my work... and the place isn't that big at all. Plenty of TSXs and several more TLs I've seen around campus (North Carolina State). Too many TSXs and TLs here in Raleigh to count (a little overexageration). Compared to some other new luxo releases this year (the 5 series primarily), the TSX/TLs might as well be as mass market as an Accord. Maybe it's just the kinda people that live around here. NC loves Acura.

I live in the west suburbs of chicago and I see more TL's then TSX's.

I see maybe another TSX once a week but I see a TL once a day at least, besides the other person at my job who has one.
