Smile My new ride

I totalled my '04 PWP TSX on December 5th, and after a month of fighting with the insurance company I finally got a new '06 CGP w/Nav.

I don't know if it's just me, but this 06 feels way more powerful than the 04. It also came with the "Silver Star" wheels and Yokohama ES100 tires, which I think look a lot meaner than the stock tires.

Yeah, but it's just a lot more power than I expected. The difference was immediately noticable.

How did it come with the 5 stars and ES100's? Did you negotiate that into the deal?

Its 10-15HP more powerful, good to hear its noticeable.

The tires and wheels were already on it when I picked it out at the dealership. It also came with the interior aluminum trim everywhere and a trunk tray, but I don't know if all the '06s come with that.

And this is a "new" car? Wow. That's pretty awesome.

mine came with wheel locks and a trunk tray

it all depends on what the dealer wants to install on a car to make it a little more appealing to the buyer

the dealer i got mine from had a fully loaded RSX and TL in there showroom

Definitely a regret on my part not negotiating the Silver Stars into the price of mine.
Take a look at acura.com....Silver Stars are no longer an option on the TSX. Dealer could've been trying to get rid of his stock or he was just crazy.
