Easy there, you're in CA and he's in MA. Cars sell differently in different regions. WlcTL, enjoy your car, and remember that the price only hurts once, you'll enjoy the car for years.

So your 18 and have a TL and a TSX all to yourself?

Your either

A) Rich
B) Full of shit

I'm guessing one of your parents or siblings drives the TL.

I would say it's A, since he totalled an STi and his parents are buying him a TSX. Yup, he's "one of those", because if my parents ever bought me a car when I was young and I totalled it, they would say: "You're taking the bus for a while.".

But even rich parents wouldn't be so irresponsible to let an 18 year old have 2 cars.

Indeed it's very odd for a 18-year-old to "want" to own both TL and TSX. But the guy is 18 ..., it is hard for me to take the story seriously to give it too much thought.

And Happy Turkey Day.

nothing wrong with parents buying their kids cars.

When you are old and hopefully well off, i am sure when your son is old and is going to college you are going to get him/her a car. i am sure you wouldnt want others to say some nasty things to him/her.

anyway, TSX is a nice car, congrats.
one day (i hope) i can own one.

I agree wholeheartedley. My parents bought me a car when I was 16.

BUT, 2 cars all to himself? Thats just strange IMO.

AT/MT Non Navi MSRP: $27,560
AT/MT Non Navi Invoice: $25,171

Depending on what sales taxes are where you live I'd say its a good deal. I'd just have a hard time buying an 05 with 06's now on lots. There are just so many nice upgrades that IMO are worth the extra $$$.

Although I do like the 2005 look better, the HP gain is between 10-15hp. Only appears to be 5hp because of the new SAE rating system.

looks on the '06 are subjective. and personally the changes are worth the price increase (at least US models). look at all of us '04-'05 owners spending $$$ just to gain that 10-15hp; let alone honda adding the rest of the gadgets.

With the change in horsepower ratings the real increase is probably closer to 15 horsepower.
