i think 05's exterior is way better than 06.... stock 06's rims and its foglights are just hedious.. but i'm prettty sure a-spec package will boost its image somewhat, but we'll see how "good" it is compare to 05's

Those pics are the hottness. Looks like the a-spec suspension can be pushed pretty hard, as long as you have some sticky rubber. The addition of RSB would obviously help a great deal too. Anyone here have any first hand experience?

Surprising to read Jeff's review on the TOV site:
Wow. 
I knew my TSX was capable of better handling than a SH-AWD RL, but an Si as well?!? I feel like taking my aspec on some twistees RIGHT NOW!
in a-spec form with the Michelin Pilot Sport 2s it's tough to top the feel of the TSX, even with the Si. In this configuration, the TSX can carry more speed into and through the turns than the RL, but the RL can start putting power down much sooner as you exit the turn. On the Tail of the dragon the TSX had little trouble keeping outpacing the RL. On the roads we drove with medium to high speed turns, though, the SH-AWD system really puts on a good show and the RL feels awesome. It's mind bogglingly good on those sorts of roads. The Tail of the Dragon is just a bit too tight for the RL though.
Now with the Progress suspension we have on the Project Si, the performance has been stepped up quite dramatically, but the TSX is no slouch and it rides quite a bit better than where we have the Si at the moment. The TSX would be insane with an LSD and 240-250hp.

^^ see bold italic - another reason why 2nd gen TSX needs the RDX engine and shawd. i'd have no reason to look at another car!! ...so ready for '08!
