09 TSX's have arrive at Radley's in Arlington VA. I am on the fence as to whether or not I ike it. The car seems much larger on the inside. Acura seems to have taken the sport out of the tsx as it appears to be much more of a luxury sedan then a sports car. It looks like a mini RL. Buttons are everywhere, softer leather. I did not take a test drive but will do so today.

 

Mr. West, do let us know what your impressions are after your drive.

 

I'm still fighting off the urge to take a test drive tomorrow. I need to do my spring wash/clay/wax on the car instead, but I am very curious about the 09.

My dealer already has a black 09 up on ebay. They don't even have them listed online in their inventory yet.

 

i'm gonna test drive it or at least look at it this weekend. i'm prepared for the ugly grill.

 

The grill isnt that bad in person. Its a sharp-looking car.

 

it's the "element" guys

 

OK, too my test drive today and since there has been much discussion about the looks, I am must going to focus on the drive. To me the engine did not feel any faster than my 06. The engine was a bit smoother, but not a whole lot so. The car does not feel as tossable as my 06. The steering felt much heavier, or maybe a better word is weighted. The ride was definitely, more comfortable, but the view out of the winshield felt awkward with those hood bulges in view. Other than the new features, the car does not make me want to say, "I want it" I will have to wait for the 3g. Where the 1g screamed sport, this one screams luxury.

 

there goes another unsatisfied customer. isn't it ironic that they say acura advance, but in reality consumers like you are viewing acura as advancing backwards.
