2G Sightings Thread

I guess it's time for one of these over here

Saw a 2G Crystal Black heading north on Kauntz Rd in St Charles. We both turned left onto the back road behind the Target and they turned into the Target shopping center while I continued on the back road

Haven't seen one yet either in all of northern va (except mine). Little off topic, but I did finally see one of the new BMW 1 series at a 7-11 off Route 1 the other day. Looked at that as an alternative to the tsx, but couldn't swing it financially. sweet ride though.

I finally saw one yesterday, it was a white/parch on Robertson in front of The Ivy restaurant in WeHo. They look better in motion than sitting still.

Saw a white one heading down I-45 South going towards Houston yesterday.
I was going a little faster then it, and before i got close enough coming up from its back end, I thought it was a camry.

Just thought I would throw that in there

I saw one - it was a dark gray - on the tollway in Dallas. Interestingly, I saw just as many IS-F's and X6's!

I saw a silver one today on my commute in the Silicon Valley area. I saw it and knew immediately what it was. It went past me, back behind, and past again, so I got a good look at it on the road.

The best part was that it was behind me in the lane to the left of me for a while and a 1st gen TSX was right behind me -- same color. The 2nd gen was much bolder and put the looks of the 1st gen to shame when driving side by side like that. The 1st looked quaint and way too conservative on design. The 2nd gen really stood out with its bolder stance and exterior features, and the grille looked good. The rear looked good too. To each his own, but I like the new design quite a bit.

Saw a Palladium Silver (same as mine ) turn on to Army Trail Rd over by the forest preserve in Bartlett, IL. I gave them a wave and I think they waved back.

Nah, she was in the far right lane and I was in the turn lane. We got the greenlight/left turn arrow as I rolled up to the line.

I did pass a gunmetal 1G TSX on the way to work too.

I saw a polished metal 09 yesterday on Rt. 202 in Branchburg, NJ. It was just a quick glimpse as we drove by, but it looked nice.

JChow426 - nice to hear another MA TSX in the area.. last night I saw an 09 Palladium/Ebony parked in the Financial District with a parking ticket. Thought my wife parked it illegally, but then realized it was the wrong license plate and interior color...

that makes 3 09's I've seen so far...

I saw 2 black 09s today. That brings my grand total to 5 since the release.

In case it was anyone in the area, the first one I saw was on Rt. 206 in Montgomery, NJ and the second was in the shopping mall near Linens n Things at the Somerville Circle.
