Cool increasing sightings

Is everyone else noticing a lot more of us on the road? This is probably a dumb question since obviously there are more TSXs now than a month ago, but I just saw two other black TSXs on the same road in the same town today, within 5 minutes of each other. Are TSXs becoming a common occurence anywhere else (Ontario excluded)?

I have noticed a few more as well. I just figure having a TSX and seeing a very generous 2 or 3 a week is still better than driving most other cars and seeing 10 a day.

Actually, I haven't seen a fellow TSXer in at least 2 weeks. Up until then, I had seen a dozen or so during May/June/July. I guess I'm happy not to be one of many clones (aka BMW), but I like to wave/nod at a fellow TSXer once in a while.

Well it seems like i can average about 5 a week. This is LA after all and i would be okay with to see about 20 (different ones) a week hopefully not more then that. Although i see about 30 3 series and 10 is300s a day, actually probably more.

I feel left out. Not only don't I have any rattles (DAMN!! ), but I don't see TSX's!
(Not that I really mind being unique.)

In my 4 months (over 5000 mi.), I've seen only 1 -- and I'm usually looking, too

I've had my TSX since 5/22 and I've only seen 1 on the road, a few weeks ago.

I'm in the Philly suburbs.

Maybe you should try crossing the river. I've only seen 2 in Philly (1 was in Conshohocken at Ikea - you?), but 8-10 around Cherry Hill/Voorhees.

All you canadians should move to the U.S.A. That's all I can say and then you would not worry about increasing sightings! Just bring a case of Molson with you and you will be OK.

You'll be wishing you were back in Canada when you experience the Carolina summer I hope you make it to the Outer Banks.

I still have NEVER seen someone driving a TSX, with the exception of someone pulling into the Acura lot in the test-drive car... but for whatever reason, I have never seen a TSX on the road and I go up and down I-95 20 miles to and from work every weekday. I swear I am not a shut-in!!

I have a 4 mile commute (to the train) each day down one road, and yet I manage to see 1 or 2. I see one consistently - a white/parchment that parks in my commuter lot - and I just noticed another black one that parks in front of a hospital along the road I drive. Yesterday I saw both THAT black one, and another black one that parked next to me in a parking lot on the same road. Perhaps there is just a high concentration of us in Voorhees, NJ. Oh, and there is another person at my hospital with one (red/parchment). I'm sure it will catch on in Baltimore - it took a while before I saw my first one.

HOWEVER, during the same commute I probably see at least 5 3-series, so we're not too common compared to the comparators. Of course this is all based on my daily trudge down the road.

I live in the NYC area and am happy to report in my city in NJ i have seen only 1 on the other side of town bone stock grey.
And in all my travels since the TSX has come out only 5. 2 reds my blue one, a black one, and the aforementioned grey one. I saw one red in my town parked in a store, the black by my job and the other red one on the westside highway in manhatten.
Never see one on the way to work or back home though even b4 i had the car.

The TSX will be just as common as the TL soon. I see a lot of chicks driving for some reason

Edit: Or RSX?

Hey, jack -- you're a genius! And you mean you can't tell an RSX from a TSX??



P.S. I can't tell for sure either except by checking the badge.

From a distance looking at the back of the RSX, it is hard to tell. I hope like i said before the ratio for girls to guys is around 30/70. If its even lower that's better. No offense to girls though.

I live in the Atlanta metro area, and I have seen quite a few in the past month. I've seen three black, one red, one blue, two grey, and two silver. Three of these were in the Tallahasse Florida area in the last two weeks.

I *still* haven't seen even one other TSX. I commute 70 miles round-trip each day in the Boston area.

I saw my first TSX since I got mine July 22nd, a CG near my work. I must say I had mixed emotions. In a way it was cool to see one driving down the road, but now I'm not the only one in town. Oh well the CG is kickass looking, I wouldn't have had a problem getting one of those if it'd come in before my SSM.

The day before I picked up my car (last Saturday), I saw my first TSX here in central PA. I think it was black, but it was pretty dark out, and I only saw it in a fleeting glance. I'd been looking and looking to see one as I was waiting (three months!) for mine. That feeling must be like searching for Bigfoot, and spotting a vaguely apelike form in the distance!

I see about one a week.

I saw a red TSX at the gas station about to get a car wash. I walked up to the guy to say hello and fawn over our cars. He looked at me like like I smeered poop on his shirt.

OBVIOUSLY not a Acura-TSX.com member. Or maybe it was Adam Flooz?

It's probably been a good month since I saw my last TSX and I've been all over the bay area (SF, east bay, south bay). My dealer tells me they are selling like hot cakes these days but still, no other TSX sightings. That's okay though, I'm going to enjoy being the new kid on the block for as long as I can!

I still haven't seen any TSXs in Pittsburgh proper, but I have seen two TSXs near Washington, PA which is 25 miles south (one white and one black). When I went to visit relatives in northern Virginia last week, I saw a blue TSX in a parking lot at Tysons Corner mall. Acuras in general were really common in northern VA.

Other than that I've only seen a black one in central FL.
