Yet I still see some pics without the satellite radio antenna. Lazy marketing people...

Were it not for the fact that my friend is buying one, I'd like it if they raised the MSRP by $5000 or so.

If you read the fine print on the 2005 brocure, then you will see a statement that the weight of the car was based on the 2004 model because the acual figures were not available at the time of printing.

I'm the Firestarter
Milage numbers:
I was under the impression they were quoting the EPA milage numbers all along. If that's so, I don't see how it's possible for those numbers to change drastically for both cars. The test is supposed to be pretty rigorous so it's not like they can tweak it to reflect some other driving habits, it can only be done one way. Either they got it wrong the first time (for both AT and MT), they got it wrong this time for both, they changed the cars, or these aren't EPA figures and they don't mean much.

I was under the impression that for brand new models, manufacturers initially do their own milage tests trying to follow the EPA guidelines, then later the EPA does the real tests and those figures update the ones Acura did. I can't help but think Acura had the 2004 milage numbers backwards all along.

This is what it saids in the Acura website under TSX->Engine->fuel efficiency
Estimated EPA fuel economy is 22/31 mpg (city/highway) for TSX models with the 5-speed automatic transmission, and 21/30 (city/highway) for models with the 6-speed manual transmission. Your mileage may vary.

if you go to acura's website under tsx > exterior showroom > doors > moonroof > click on the magnifying glass for features it brings up "auto open - close" > click that and the audio says "with one tap of the overhead controls you can open or close the moonroof"
pretty cool (they probably didn't want to mention that for new '05 features because it should've been on the 04s -- most cars in its class have had this feature since '02)
