TSX A-Spec or TL A-Spec?

I don't want to offend anyone by posting about a TL at a TSX enthusiast site, but if you are interested in learning a little bit about both models, here are some links:

Sorry, but I'm leaning towards the getting the TL in a few years. I doubt that I make it look as hot as the concept car though.

Apologies in advance if this is a

Thanks!

If I were to choose between the TSX A-spec and the TL-A-spec and if price wasn't the factor, I would definitely choose the TL A-spec.

Like the above statement. They are 2 totally diffrent class of cars. If money is not an object I dont see much of decision then. The TL is a nicer car, bigger car, more power, and more money. The TSX is more of an entry level luxary sports car. No offense to all you TSX owners out there.

Been talked about before. Entry level vs. mid level car although in the case of Acura they are not differentiated as much as other makes.

I think that the TSX A-Spec is still going to be a better overall car with its lighter weight and more substantial steering feel. There is a great deal of potential with the platform. Just requires the right tuning.

I'd personally take the TSX A-Spec, cuz what CGTSX said and the fact that I think it looks better than the TL.

Theres a review of the TL A-spec in this months MotorTrend magazine. In summary, you pay about 6 grand for 18" wheels/tires and ground effects that only realize .1g of performance enhancement which is what a good set of sticky tires would provide anyway.

Empirically, the changes aren't that much, but dynamically, the car feels much more sporting. Still, I say a TSX A-Spec would show some substantial improvements, especially since we have the crappy Michelin tires.

i wouldn't choose either, unless AWD becomes a reality in the TL and TSX.
