Wink Just bought Acura TSX

Well, I just bought new toy since I wanna taste what the Japanese taste likes? hmm! Excellent Quality build car. But One thing is missing.. "No sexy and passion". if Honda can build together with car, I believe Audi and VW will cry everyday and the winner could be "Honda". I guess. So far..
One more.. you know what.. the break needs more efforts on TSX. Compare with VW and Audi, I am very very extra care and attention on breaks whenever Traffic light stops.

We don't mean to make fun, AudiGuy (or at least I don't think we do), but we really can't understand what you are asking. There are a couple of problems here. First of all, you aren't asking a clear question. And besides, to the extent that anything at all can be understood from what you say, it is something that doesn't sound correct (about the TSX not being "sexy" etc.) -- or at least, most people here disagree with it, so it doesn't make sense to us.

Maybe you want to try again.

Man, Audiguy, I think the only thing I understood is that you thought Honda could have put in more effort on the brakes, which you are probably right compared to Audi.

Obviously English is not your mother tongue, but depending on what language you speak, I could try and help translating your post.

Interesting. How would that work? Are there keyboards that type Asian languages + English etc.? Would he PM or e-mail you in Japanese or whatever?

I know I might be sounding like an ignoramus, but you know, "Stupid is as stupid does."


P.S. Would you believe, we actually have VOTES on here!

Lol, for those languages I'm fucked, but pretty much any language with occidental alphabet is not really a problem if I put myself to it. It's much easier translating from the language then to that particular language.

As for the poll, I have absolutely no idea what it has to do here.

Yeah. But I'll bet you it's not an "occidental" alphabet. That's why I wondered.

Aaaaaaaaaahaaaaa! About the poll, I see! ..... "Have you ever dream TSX for your Christmas gift yourself?"
I hadn't noticed that.

But that first post doesn't have anything to do with this question, not that I can tell anyway. That's what's throwing us off. (Plus that we don't understand what he's talking about.....)

This thread makes no sense. I even put it into the AltaVista translator and still couldn't determine what the hell this guy is talking about.

Oh come on guys. Have you ever dreamt of the TSX as a Christmas gift for yourself? That's what he's asking, in Engrish.

Oh. In that case, yes. And, since I just got mine last Friday, you can say I'm living my dream.

I dont think so. Then how could "just dream" be an answer?

Right.

But at least we can understand how people could have put in votes. It's not coherent, but there is sort of a question in there.

Why be negative?


I'd love to see what the response would be if some polling organization went around and asked this question:

"As you know, we recently captured Saddam Hussein, and back in July we killed his sons, Uday and Qusay Hussein.
Do you believe we should go after Ibrahim Hussein as well?"



Ibrahim Hussein is a Kenyan marathon runner. Won the NY Marathon in '87, won the Boston Marathon 3 times.


I bet they'd get at least 50% yes.

If you didn't enlighten us the yes's would be more like 90%.

It's an extraneous answer; if you answer No, then you don't dream about the TSX, which is the same as saying "just dream" (because you do dream, just not about the TSX). So the poll should really be Yes/No.

Folks, I just ran his post through the Gibberish-to-English Translator and it turns out he's from the other side of this Continent from the region where they speak 'Drunken Typer, Hidden Sarcasm' dialect (No, I don't mean Canada!)

Here's the rough translation:
"I just bought an Acura TSX. I wanted a taste of the fine Japanese Engineering everyone has been raving about. So far I’m impressed with the build quality of the TSX but I think it lacks the “sex appeal and the driving-passion” that other cars in its class offer. If Honda can build the TSX with these included, I think the folks at Audi and BMW will be crying their heart out.
Oh and one more thing, the TSX could use better brakes. Compared to the brakes from VW and Audi, I find myself taking special attention to the brakes every time I need to stop at a red light."

As for the Poll. I think what he's trying to say:
Would you buy yourself a TSX as a Christmas gift?
Yes, No, or It doesn't hurt to dream.

I took "the break needs more efforts on the TSX" to mean that you need to press harder on the TSX brake pedal than in other cars, which I find to be true. I prefer the TSX brake feel to that of the Accord, which jerks you forward with just a small brake pedal effort.

Also, I'd like to say for the record that my TSX has plenty of "sexy and passion" thank you very much. Sure, it doesn't have the irritating red/amber ambiance of a BMW, but otherwise...
