The sightings thread
Post your sightings. If you were spotted, fess up!
When you see enough TSXs that sightings don't interest you anymore, I guess post when you see something notable (TSX with nice mods, funny custom plate, first time you've seen a color on the road, cute guy/girl driving, etc.).
Saw a TSX on the road for the first time since I picked mine up on 8/8/03 (I'd seen a couple before then). It was a SSM northbound on 101 between the Embarcadero and Willow exits (before I peeled off to exit on Marsh), around 4:30 PM on 9/3/03. Guy with dark spiky hair and shades driving with his lights on.

It's been maybe a months since I saw a bright red TSX on Alma in Palo Alto and about two months since I saw either an MSM or SSM on Woodside Rd in Redwood City. That's as recent as it gets for me on the mid-Peninsula. I thought for sure I would see a TSX at the new Ikea in East Palo Alto, with all the backed-up traffic and crowded parking areas. Nothing.

Nice...you people are right in my neighborhood. I lived in Menlo Park off of Willow last year, and now I live off of the 280 in Redwood City. I take the 280 from Redwood City down to Cupertino every day, but I have yet to see a single tsx And, I was at the EPA Ikea 3 times last week (what a mess...but I just moved, so I needed furniture), and didn't see one there either. It would be nice to see one once in a while...

I haven't seen another TSX around here since I got mine...that's three weeks.
I saw a Satin Silver Metallic about a month and a half ago, but nothing since.

I've had a couple sightings, I was up in Cleveland a few weeks ago and saw a black TSX in Northfield.
Back here in Cincy I saw a blue one at the Florence Cinemas (across the river in KY), then spotted a white TSX driving through the parking lot at the Meijer in Florence. I must say the white looks very cool.
These were all spotted over the course of the last month or so. TSX seems like its rare around here (for now at least).

I commute across Redwood City on 101 every day--about 7 miles.
Oh, and there is a black TSX here at work, but I've seen it only twice, both times in or near one of the parking garages.

'12 TL (prev '04 TSX 6MT)
One night I saw two black ones right near my gym. Another day there was another silver one parked near mine at the grocery store. I haven't seen any others in weeks... except a Euro-Accord I saw in Istanbul.

I must live in the most highly TSX concentrated area in the country. I saw 3 today not including mine - one MSM in my apt parking lot (first appeared 2 days ago, temp tags), one white one on 11th St in Philly, and another red one on Broad St. Anyone here??

I'm surprised that a dealership has that many, though. Around here (SF Bay Area), dealerships would tell me they'd have at most a handful at a time, and many would be pre-sold.

I passed a SSM last night on University in Palo Alto going the opposite direction (east) around 7pm. That would be the first sighting for me for nearly 2 months!

I see two on my commute on the Garden State Parkway every so often btwn exits 130 and 160- one black, one white- both driven by women.
Saw a MSM at the Paramus Town Centre shopping plaza on Route 17 last weekend.
And, just yesterday, I saw the first TSX in my neighborhood other than mine- black, driven by some guy who was checking out my TSX at the same time (didn't get a good look, he had tints.)
So that's the report for North Jersey...
New Jersery must be one of the top states for the TSX

I saw another TSX for the first time in about a month here in Indy.
Nighthawk Black Pearl heading north on Meridian...I actually pointed at it...I think the guy saw me.

Oh, no sooner than I had posted my message about having more Elvis and Saddamn sightings, I saw two TSX's this morning--a first for me.
One was a CG driven by an idiot swerving fast in and out of traffic being chased by a Saab. The idiot in the fast lane suddenly braked upon seeing the Highway Patrol and caused other cars behind him to suddenly brake. This was on southbound 101 between Marsh and Willow Roads. The driver was a very short male with closely cropped dark-hair. Maybe he didn't have his driver's license or parent's permission or knowledge? We need a law against morons, idiots, and imbeciles from driving.
The second was an MSM in the parking lot of Home Depot in East Palo Alto, across from Ikea. This was an older lady with silver/white hair driving very slowly.
There you have it in one morning: The very broad appeal of the TSX!

I've seen so few TSXs on the road. I think there have been more Elvis and Saddamn sightings all summer long!

No Saddam sightings though- what would he drive anyway, aside from the tints?

Hadn't seen any in weeks, then saw two this past week. Milano Red entering the Pasadena fwy on Hill Street (LA Chinatown) and Artic Blue on 1st or 2nd Street, turning left on Alameda.
All I need is a PWP sighting to be "all American."
For all the TSX's in LA, holler! I know you're out there.
