FYI, Carbon Black is a BMW color. It's similar to NBP.

I bought my car from Thomas Acura but their financing rate was pretty high. I got my car right when it shipped so it had only 10 miles on it and still had the clear plastic wrappings on the chairs. I bought mine from a worker named Klein, but last I heard, he doesn't work there any more. They're nice helpful people and I'm sure that if you take time to negotiate they'd lower the price lesser than what I got mine for. (I got a CG 5-AT no nav for 26,880, with the splash guards, wheel locks, karr alarm system and I forget what others. Its the basic stuff though.) I needed to get my car as soon as I could cause I needed it to drive back and forth the next day already. Also, they gave me a first oil change for free coupon that says use within the first three months of issuance. However, its been more than three months since i got my car and according to the person that gave me the financing rate, it doesn't have to be within the first three months because all the servicing they do when you bring your car in is placed on the computer and the coupon counts for the FIRST oil change whenever that may be. (The coupon includes, refilling all the liquids, tire dressing, car wash and so yeah its worth it, plus its free.) Thomas Acura was the first and only Acura dealer I went to and I'd have to say that the staff was friendly and I was out there in maybe 3 hours or less I don't remember. I haven't had experience at another Acura dealer and so I hope this information helps. Test drive the TSX, and I'm sure you'll love it for the price. Acceleration wise, i wouldn't name it the best but its not the worst either, it can outrun a lot of those V6 cars out there and the best thing about the car really is the handling like everyone says. There's lots of hills and windy turns in Covina as you probably know, make sure you hit those places up if they let you and you'll really know how the car performs.

I was already sold upon test driving the TSX. Ever since I started attending track days and high performance driving clinics, I've yet to find a street car that satisfies me more than the TSX for the price.

I bought a CG/navi/auto at Weir Canyon for 27200 + tax/license =) and as you predicted...I'm loving EVERY second of it.

The car is a real change from my track car(gobs of torque)....but the high rpm VTEC power surge/sound is absolutely addicting....I've been a honda fan since I was 6 and I"m so happy I finally own one. I think I will be replacing my track car with a s2000 track car one of these days.

CGTSX:

Gas IS krazy expensive and I would think twice as well but the amount of fun will justify the cost =)

I'm debating whether to use my track car or the TSX.....
