2G Sightings Thread
Finally..... I had my first sighting in Lexington KY. I saw a Glacier Blue Metalic 09 TSX parked on Lyon Drive. I can't believe it took over two months since I bought mine to see another in town.
I see at least 2 to 3 TSX 2009 per day in San Diego... I see 100s of TLs, IS250/350s, BMWs (including 7 series) and whatever you can think of every day here.. You have to buy a jet if you want a unique vehicle here..
I do like the back lights of the new design but like most of us, don't enjoy the grill and the HUGE wheels archs.. plus the car is too big now.. but if you like it, then you like it! Don't even talk about the new TL...

Talked to an older gentleman after he was getting out of his 09 Polished Metal Metallic TSX in Japantown in San Francisco. Asked him what he thought of the car and replied it rode/drove just like a 5 series BMW...but that sounded like something a dealer would say.
...and I've never driven a 5 series to know what he was talking about.

You can feel the front wheel drive's heavy nose when you make sharp turns.. and 5 series drives like a beast on fire..
i'm from the 3G TL side. i live near downtown seattle and was walking through chinatown on the day after july 4th. as i was walking down king street i saw a black G2 TSX with a REALLY nice set of chrome wheels on it. the car had presence. my eyes were fixed on it and couldn't stop staring. a G1 TSX could never mesmerize me as much as that G2 did. props to whoever owns it. i'm seriously digging the looks of the G2.
Look at Audi/BMWs.. they have simple/under-stated classy exteriors but driving dynamics you can't beat them.. Check out the Audi S4, Audio A5 etc...

Durham sightings...
I've seen a couple in Durham ... one comin' at me on Barbee road (took a moment to recognize "the element" ... but I did), and another passing me at night on NC-54 at Farrington. Saw the rear go by, thought "hrm, funny looking Civic/Camry," then realized what it was. Not dissing the 2GEN here, just can't recognize it as readily as I do a 1GEN.

I still have only seen two 09 TSX's on the street here in Indy, and none for the last several weeks! The dealers must be crying to sell 'em in central Indiana. But I see tons of the 09 Accords. They must be dealing alot better than the Acura guys.

I believe I recall reading that for 2006, there were a few 100,000 Accords produced and sold, but only 15,000, or 20,000 TSX'. They're just not a high-volume car.
This afternoon I saw a PWP and blue TSX in the King Kullen parking lot in Manhasset...They were parked a a few spots away from each other, but with no car in between except for mine when I paused for a few seconds to take it all in...lol.
a white one driven by a midage asian guy on stanton ave, you looked over at me as I crossed the intersection, i was in the 1G cgp slammed, wheels, hid fogs visors etc etc
Saw 2 Palladiums on Butterfield Rd in Glen Ellyn yesterday. I also saw one Saturday coming back to Chicago from Milwaukee on 94. I don't see any 2nd Gens for a month and suddenly 3 pop up

Saw a dark-colored one sitting in the dim lit parking lot of China Palace in Durham (one of my fav to-go joints), almost didnt' see it as I pulled out with my chicken in black bean sauce, did a double take on the you-know-what. Didn't look so bad in the dark on a rainy night.

the 2g is really starting to grow on me, all it needs is a paintmatched grill and some different wheels and it's golden
Ilove the rear though!!

Saw a white one last night with dark tinted windows with a Paragon Acura plate frame and a Bumper Bully in the Trader Joe's parking lot in Queens off of Woodhaven and Metropolitan. Very nice looking!
I saw 2 '09 TSX loaner cars today on my way to work in San Diego. Both Loaner cars from Kearney Mesa Acura. A White one on Mira Mesa Blvd near Sorrento Valley and a Polished Metal one parked on Mesa Rim Rd. in my business park.
The Dark Knight, what color do you have again? On Saturday evening around 5pm I saw a Palladium TSX with tints and a spoiler on the LIE service road west bound, near the Douglaston Macy's. We were practially side by side. Nice whip
Seems like a house in my neighborhood has a bunch of Honda fans coming around lately. For the 2nd time in a few weeks, I drove by and saw a slew of Hondas/Acuras parked on the street, including a silver 2009 TSX. Just wondering if you are here? I'm also wondering if the house you all are congregating at is the one with both an MDX and RDX? There are about 6 Hondas and Acuras parked outside the house so it's pretty noticeable. 
This is in Branchburg, NJ on Blue Grass Blvd.
