Because our Integra was totaled by a drunk kid, we were forced to look into a new car. And Lexus IS300 was the only one we were going to get. It was until a friend told us that the TSX was already out......and well, you know the answer!

I was drunk and I crashed my Accord into some moron's riced-out Integra. I was so impressed by the quality feel of the Integra bouncing off of my front end that I went and bought a TSX the next day.

Accord EX V6, or Maxima, or TL.

I wanted a 325, but it was just way too much money optioned the way I wanted it. Stopped to look at the TL just for the hell of it. Drove the TSX on a lark while I was there. It got my attention, and then the positive review in Car and Driver sent me back to look at it again.

Still don't have the TSX, though. Ordered it 7/1. The dealer sent it in for their August allocation on 7/8. I have a VIN, but no one really knows when it will come in. That might eventually drive me back to one of the others. I'm driving rental cars, and tired of it.

9-3 Arc. I would have rolled my eyes every time I looked at the interior, but the exterior lines still make me smile...

I would be driving a black '04 WRX with a larger hole in my pocket because I'd have to replace those crappy 16inch stock wheels.

Mazda 6.. but it would have felt like a compromise.

Wow ... this is a good question. I think I probably would have gone for an Accord V6 (bite the bullet on the looks, but everything else is great on that car). I know ... kinda boring, but that is probably what I would have done ... stayed conservative

If I could only stomach the '03 Accord's styling, I would have seriously considered the Accord EX 4 cylinder 5 speed MT. I'm a big fan of Honda's very efficient smooth and sweet 4 bangers. I know that underneath the skin, that the Accord is competent.

I know the "6" is even smoother and sweeter, but I don't need all that hawse power.

Same here. I would have gotten the wagon. They're sweet, but I could not BELIEVE the $3500 price of those optional BBSes!! I actually had already decided on the subie anyway, but then I drove the TSX. The rest is history......

THANKS ACURA. And great question, rb
