I predict Acura sales to tank another 20% on top of the 20% they are already down this year.

Missed this earlier.
You're bordering on what I consider trolling.

The 09 TSX may not be a lot of things but poorly designed is I'm sure not one of them.

No one seems to be pointing this out, but the IS has an outdated interior compared to the TSX... and the leather is only slightly better, if at all.
Side note: This applies for all Lexi(?) interiors, they're bland and seemingly take inspiration from 90s era cars.

I ordered a PWP and then have the body kit put on...I know. I'm still shaking my head at that poorly designed comment.
PWP is the best colour IMO. It was on the first gen and appears to be on the 2nd. Congrats. Auto or Manual? Base, Preem or Tech?

You're saying the IS350's interior is not luxurious and outdated? Wow, please share with the Azine what you are smoking for sure!
Look man, I know you are young but the Lexus interior is far superior to Acura's IMO.

Hmm. I've sat in both, and I've driven the IS350 for a small chunk of time. It's a great machine, and yes, it exudes quality and refinement. If you ignore the extra features (ventilated seats, driver and passenger memory seats, full power seats (8- or 10-way?), etc.) the concept and execution of the Acura TSXs interior is superior. They both have "okay" gauges. You want to see nice gauges? Look at the IS-Fs...
I do, however, like the ISs' exterior a lot more.
... and you deleted your post. Why?

dom...decided to go with the premium as I don't really need the NAVI and backup camera...I would have liked the ELS system but not worth all that extra cash from Premium to Technology Package (sorry to my friends down south, we have three levels of TSX here) so instead, I put that money on the Aero Kit instead. I also went with the auto for flexibility and the spouse (and who else may need to drive the car)

Make a hole, coming thru!
I concur, "poorly designed" is a poor choice of words. I think it's well designed, just disappointing some people on some items. You can't expect a car to please everyone uniformly to call it "well designed."
I concur on color, too. PWP is one of the colors that the element doesn't look so bad with. Silver Metallic, too. It stands out against the darker colors IMHO.
