Wow! fdl, that is a gorgeous picture of Toronto, one of my favorite cities in the world! Thanks for sharing.

I think that the rear end of the TSX is much more attractive than the front. The rear has this European simplicity and understated elegance that the Japanese and American automakers rarely achieve... I just love it!

Back: most unique on US market

No US style "bustle back" or slope back here: just a trim, no 5 mph bumper, Euro style rear. The Mazda 6 is smilar in Euro trim: it looks much better than the over-bumpered US car. Hats off to Honda for joining Mercedes and BMW in the small Euro style club on the US market.

Personally, I'd have to say that I like the front better. However, I think the TSX is one of the few cars that look good from the back too. IMHO there are too many cars out there that look like the designer(s) spent a lot of time up to the rear doors and then just rushed the design after that.

BTW, that is downtown Los Angeles in the background. If I was to guess I think the pictures were taken from the Dodger Stadium parking lot.

I love the front.

Nice wedge shape up front and the headlights are just the icying on the cake.

The front is sooooo much better than the USDM Accord. Rear too, but to a lesser extent, IMO.

The skyline in the TSX pictures is definitely LA

From a different angle (ugly pic, best I could find)



I'd say the pics are 120 degrees apart

I always thought it was lame that people dispute that the CN Tower is a building, but did the Petronas twin towers in Malaysia not exceed it in overall height?

That's a beautiful picture fdl

Petronas Towers - Height : 452 meters (Including the 47.2-metre steel spires added to the top)

CN Tower - Height: 553.34 meters

The picture in the back is Downtown LA. I should know since I work there Tallest building in the back (center)is USBank Tower (formerly Library tower) , to the left is the KPMG building (part of Wells Fargo Center..you can barely make out the KPMG logo). The two "glass" buildings are One California Plaza, and Two California Plaza.

The back isn't bad looking, but it does remind me a bit too much of a late '90's Camry.

I like the front better. It looks more characteristic of an Acura.

I do like the exhaust pipes of the TSX MUCH better than the exhaust pipes of the new TL.
