Our gauges will carry over to the 2012 CR-V:

It will also be getting a form of SH-AWD, but dumbed down to just engage the rear wheels when the front wheels slip. No torque vectoring like they do in the Acuras.

The cool thing about our RPM and Speedo gauges is that they move from the perimeter of the gauges and not a center peg outward. Of course this was necessary in order so the MID display wouldn't be blocked.

I took a test drive in one at night several weeks ago while helping my daughter shop for a vehicle (she ended up with a Mazda 3 Touring).

All the information is there and the "hud-like" top display puts key readings up high to minimize large eye movements, but I sorta had the feeling that I was driving through the last Tron movie. It's busy and some of the gauge widgets aren't intuitive and take some getting used to. I'm sure that once you lived with it for a while you'd get used to it and learn to appreciate it but I wouldn't trade my TSX display for one.

I like them

I just think Honda went cheap on the rest of the interior. Feels more like a 5 year old Nissan..

The Civic should have similar materials and feel that the CR-Z interior was given.

Ok.. So the trend of fugliness continues with Honda.... WTF??? They could have done so much with the new CRV styling. Now it looks like a volvo meets Cross Tour... PUKE!

I was going to lease a new si, but I got the same monthly payment for tsx with zero down. Im glad I never went forward with the si. Very cheap feeling, the tsx turns some heads, and feels like a refined vehicle. It feels more expensive than the price leads me to believe. Power not withstanding, i like the tsx better than the 3g tl.
