New Canadian navigation DVD + grad update on Acura.ca

Just was browsing the Acura.ca website and noticed some changes since I bought my TSX.
  1. Grad rebate program
  2. Navigation update

For the grad rebate, the TSX is now included in the list of vehicles which previously only contained the RSX and EL. Welcome addition since the grad program is for 4 years out of school, and not 1 or 2 like some other manufacturers.

For the navigation update, they state its only for 2004 TL and MDX owners. Funny thing is for my 05 TSX I've been having issues with the touch screen and the dealer mentioned a new DVD was coming out and they would try that to see if it improved. I don't think so, but went along. So I'm curious what version our Canadian 05 TSX'ers have. Please post your version below.

Database version: 20041119
Software: 1.0010

since were talking about canadian stuff i just noticed that they now offer the A-Spec kit in canada
if u build your own TSX on acura.ca they have an A-Spec option
same as the US

A-Spec Packages
$4,688.00

Each package includes rear, front and side skirts, spoiler, ebony alloy wheels, sport suspension (automatic and manual) and an A-Spec emblem.

aero kit is still available
just the skirts and spoiler as usual

I wonder if anyone is insane enough to pay $52,081 for the AT/Navi A-Spec TSX I just built on Acura.ca.

Ouch, thats hurting. They need to revise the pricing on the A-Spec.
BTW, what was the reason Canada gets the AT premium over the US?

I think they do that because they can.

There's nothing special about the spec AT.

I think also since most of the Canadian models in 2004 shipped AT, thus Acura knew that most people would get the AT and pony up the extra $$$, so why not pay a lil extra for it! Great pricing move by Acura, not so good for the consumer.

Since we're bitching about Honda/Acura pricing.

The one that pisses me off the most. The 50K CAD S2000. Its $33,150 US which should be about ~$41-43K CAD.

Example. The TL starts at $33,100 US and starts at $41,000 CAD. Why they feel the need to rip off Canadians when it comes to the S2K

In canada we pay any thing for Hondas....we have lots of asian people. Especially in Richmond hill and vancouver. If Honda added 1000 dollars to the TSX price sales in canada would stay the same. Its sad Honda has so much power here.

S2000 is also higher in Canada when you do the conversion.

Would that be Habib? Easy to deal with. Got my 5AT TL non-navi through them (Acura in Markham) 2 weeks ago.
