I saw my first TSX on the road today!

I was driving around town (Wilmington, NC) and saw my first TSX (NBP) on the road. For a few weeks now, ever since I started researching the TSX, I've been looking for one and now I finally found it!

By the way, today is my 1 week anniversary with my new minty fresh TSX (Auto w/ Nav, SSM/Ebony) and I'm loving it. I was debating between the TSX and the Accord EX V6. My only two concerns with the TSX was the power (or lack of it) and the smaller backseat room. But now after having the car for a week, all my concerns have been lifted. This car has plenty of pep and is loads of fun to drive. And really, who cares about the people in the backseat when I know I'm damn comfortable up front!

So back to the topic of this post... In addition to how much snazzier this car is compared to the Accord, it's also nice to be driving a car that not every other person on the road is driving.

Which is exactly why my wife and I chose the TSX instead of the Accord. Unfortunately for me, we're still playing the waiting game, though.

Same idea here. Also looked at the Accord Coupe V6, but didn't really want a car that everybody else had.

I may see a handful of TSXs here in a weeks time...the Accords - well, a handful every 5 minutes.

True about the back seat room, too. I'll never sit in it.

Actually the backseat isn't too bad. I've had people sit back there and they didn't have a problem with it.

The back seat is not a problem at all. You should try sitting in the back of an IS300!
I used to have a CL-S so the TSX is better in that respect.
If you want torture, try sitting in the back of a G35C

Just for reference, my wife is 5'11" and has back problems that extend to her legs, so it's hard for her to be comfortable. Just the other day she was in the back of my mom's TSX and she was raving about the backseat. Food for thought.

I am from the Baltimore area and had seen only one TSX all summer. The day I picked up my CG 6spd I saw five of them on the way home!! Maybe it was just a coincidence, but I think the days of having a relatively rare car are quickly coming to an end (thanks to buyers like myself). Enjoy the attention the TSX receives while it lasts...pretty soon the streets will be saturated similar to the 3 series. We all know it is a great car...it is only a matter of time before many others realize the same thing.

BTW...one of them I saw was a bluish-silver color. Is that meteor silver?
It looked good.

I saw a whole bunch of TSX's just the other day. Of course I was at the dealership.

Seriously I rarely see a TSX and I have a 20 mile each way commute is heavy traffic. We too thought about the Accord but wanted something different.

I'm 6'4", so my TSX is officially a four passenger vehicle. There's literally 2" of room between my seat and the backseat.

Dealerships pack themselves with TSX's.

The other day in Wayne, NJ, there were 40, 40 TSX's available.

I wish. Both the dealerships within reasonable driving distance from me have maybe 10-12 COMBINED.
