Heh, why don't you try an unscripted and unedited video and see how many times you say 'ahhhhh, ummmmm'

haha, I'll give her credit for that.
Despite the fact, I only heard her say 'uhh' two or three times.

Listened again, 4 ahhhs.

I think I was more annoyed by her overall review than the verbal pauses. The focus was more on negatives of the car than features and the comparisions to other cars were not on the mark IMHO.

That review was truely awful. It was more moronic chatter that a review. I think it looks buck tooth, I think you'd want big ol' Accord V6 or very expensive german car instead, I think it could use an extra 30 horses, yeah, 30, that sounds about right. I think a person who likes Acura to begin with is most likely to go for this car.

This isn't the huge mystery she makes it out to be. The TSX makes perfect sense for the price; it's a stiffer, smaller and better apointed Accord and costs almost exactly as much. End of story.

I am trading in my 300hp g35 coupe in favor of the TSX because for everyday driving the tsx has ample get up and go, amazing tech features, refinement... and still a sporty feel. The TSX is not great at anything, but it is so good at so many things it is a fantastic blend for an everyday driver!!

Several people and reviews have said the TSX is not great at anything, but for my money the handling is great, the gas mileage is great and the size is great.

"Best of all worlds."

I think that pretty much sums it up for me.

The review sucked. She couldn't talk, and had no idea what she was talking about. It was like she was trying to sell a freaking BMW with all her comments. Once BMW gets their stuff together in terms of reliablity and driveablity (new 3 series has horrible hesitation problems) I am all Acura. how many 10 year old BMW do you see running around compared to 10 year old Honda Acuras.

GusterFan...I agree with you. Its true that the TSX is not the most sexy car in its category nor the most powerful but it does offer so many good things that overall, it is a great selection. I have seen tons of 2009 TSX and the picture doesn't do it justice, even sitting on the lot its not sexy but I just happened to see a white one pull out of the dealership and saw it driving away and it just looked soooooo amazing!!

finally saw my 1st second gen TSX on the road and it wasn't a test drive. that grill is unique because you can see it a mile away and know it's the new TSX cause no other car on the road has that kind of grill.
