Title: Cheap fake luxury sells
Comment: The TSX is one if not the cheapest fake luxury car. Off course it will sell, its only 25k after discounts. Who the hell CANNOT afford a 25k car?
Its an embarresment to the term "luxury"

Title: TSX = European Accord
Comment: The thing that bothers me is that TSX is marketed as the Accord in both Europe and Japan. We all know that the Accord isn't a luxury car. I just find it weird that they would position it that way. That's like Lincoln releasing the "Navigator" as the "Expedition", or Audi calling the "A4" as the "Jetta" in certain markets. Just seems odd.

Title: Acura= entry level blah
Comment: The TSX is nothing more than an Accord, it is not a luxury anything. You can get a damn Kia for more than a TSX, what the hell is luxurious about that?
Its a good car but Acura has the lamest lineup of any fake luxury car maker.1
1. FWd
2. No v-8s
3. Made in America TL
4. Tranny problems
5. Cheap leather and paint
I used to like Acura till they started chasing sales by making cars cheap to build AND buy

Title: TSX is the best sedan under 30K
Comment: in North America. Drive a 2005 Audi A4 3.0 for a few miles and then get into a TSX. The NVH control, powertrain and engine reponse/linearity makes the A4 feel like a 1989 CS90 sedan.
Do the same with a BMW 325.
For all those who have not driven a TSX, please do not post derogatory comments of the vehicle until you have driven one.
To the "Hello" post above: You are absolutely nuts and clearly have no basis for judgment.

Whoever posted this obviously doesn't know anything about cars. The Navigator IS the Expedition and the Audi A4 IS a Jetta in the same way the TSX IS a European Accord. They take another model and make it more luxurious, hence "luxury BRAND." If you don't want the luxury features, you get the Accord or Jetta or whatever. I would crack on the lexus more because the IS costs more, but is based on the Carolla. I don't understand some people.

And all of those people who are saying the TSX is just a Euro Accord, to them I say, "So what!!??" The Europeans compare the Euro Accord against BMWs, MBs, and Audis, so why can't we compare the Acura TSX against those same cars? People in the US, especially the morons that read the stuff from autospies as gospel, are a bunch of self indulgent, arrogant idiots who define their existence based on the brand names they choose to surround themselves with.

It could lose the Civic-like kick panels on the doors. The seats kill your right hip and leg after about 3 hours on the road.

How's about a nostril puller to help keep it so that you're always looking down your nose at those inferior people driving inferior cars around you...

I guess I was wrong, many review sites say the IS300 is based off the Corolla, but it's actually the same as the Toyota Altrezza sold in Japan. But, my reasoning still holds true - it's not a Lexus-only platform. Also, edmunds says some components are shared with the Corolla including some of the instrumentation.

TSX is the best car i have own, hands down. Ride is sweet, handle like a dream, cock pit is to die for, and not to mention.....i love my HIDs which i can't get that on a F@#$ing Accord(US) All in all, best bang for the buck....and if those BMW lovers out that who wants to spend more $$ and still have least stuff then we TSXer do.....then let them be. Less TSX on the road. Ohhh yeah, i have seem wayyyyy to many TL's out there....way more then TSX.

Things that are Simply Not True
To the extent that it matters, the conventional wisdom on the TSX is simply wrong:
The Acura TSX is not a Euro Honda Accord.
In fact, the TSX is a blend of the Euro Honda Accord, the Japanese Honda Inspire, and U.S. Acura's service, warranty, and brand value.
Rephrased, the TSX is a unique combination of some of the best Honda has to offer world-wide.
In my opinion, that's just really smart marketing and engineering: leverage global Honda organization innovations to create new, compelling offerings that compete aggressively at a given price point.

lol you're llike comparing fuckin DNA or something.
All publications that mentioned it say TSX is Euro Accord.
They say that because MECHNICALLY, TECHNICALLY, UNDER-THE-HOOD it is Euro Accord (you agree with the red sentence ?)
To me, TSX = Euro Accord because i look at it this way : If I take the 2 cars apart to pieces - 90% of pieces will match. and 97% of the METAL pieces will match.
Yeah sure when you start to attach intangible, quixotic, abstract "things" you get different "DNA" I suppose.

No "conventional wisdom" here as you put it....we talking cold hard metals and machines here.
