This from US NEWS and their obligatory auto section.

"Comparing the TSX, Acura's new entry-level sedan, with the Honda Accord four-door that debuted last year is like one of those children's puzzles where you have to circle the subtle differences in two pictures that, at a glance, look nearly identical. And the similarities are no accident, since Acura is Honda's upscale brand. Oh, there are a few variations in the sheet metal–a crease here, a flare there–and the TSX has a more stylish front grille. Inside, it's the same game. There are a few touches in the TSX meant to evoke luxury and performance, but otherwise it simply copycats its came-first cousin. The overwhelming similarities have led some critics to dub the TSX a marginal upgrade of an already bland car, with Acura badging being the only real distinction. "

Is this guy blind?

 

 

He was obviously smoking some DOPE

 

oh yeah he knows a lot about cars...

second of all wtf is US news doin reviewing cars...stick to politics...

 

Sounds like the guy compared a 2dr Accord with a 4dr accord

 

The original article was obviously not written by a car guy, or it was written by someone with a bias towards Acura and/or Honda. To some people, a car is a car is a car. Then there are those of us who appreciate the subtle differences in styling and engineering that make a car unique. The fellow missed the point completely, since the TSX and Accord weren't meant to compete against each other and have totally different appointment and handling characteristics.

 

If he was talking about a plain Euro Accord it might have made sense - but this? Joe pedestrian uninforemed and clueless writer.

 

what an idiot

 

Reading the full review, he's still an ass, but he does say

"The overwhelming similarities have led some critics to dub the TSX a marginal upgrade of an already bland car, with Acura badging being the only real distinction.

I disagree. The TSX, in fact, is exactly what I wish the Accord were–a sporty, spunky ride with some vigor to complement its practicality."

I hate it when people with no automotive knowledge whatsoever try to write articles about cars. They don't know what they're talking about.

 

Hey Pluto...nice way to quote out of context. Cutting off that last sentence makes a huge difference in the tone of the article. You should go write for CBS news.

 

This was given to me by a man who calls himself DAN who would RATHER be kept anonymous.

 

Lol

 

Maybe it needs a Hemi in it

 

was he just bored so he decided to write?
