Well i built 2012 Camry XLE V6 with navigation. It comes to $33k. and that without 18inch rims. At most your looking at $35K car with 18inch rims and expensive Michellen tires.
So the difference is $4K at best. and that will give you shorter warranty and no 3 stage longer life paint like TSX.
So i am not sure why TSX V6 is such bad option. It will handle better, interior along with Music system is more upscale. Looks are better, Hid, Active noise cancellation.

Last night, while getting dinner with some friends, I got some feedback on the wagon's back seat. Though neither passenger was especially large, (one was 5-5, the other 5-10), both gave it thumbs up overall for its solid back- and under-thigh support.

At 34.3 inches, the rear leg room specification is nothing to brag about, but the seat's firm padding, well-shaped backrest and relatively high seat cushion greatly contribute to the high comfort factor. As they say, you have to look beyond the numbers.

Personally for me, the handling, styling, fit & finish, and yes even the badge make the TSX worth the premium to me. (If the badge was as useless as implied, Acura, Lexus, Cadillac, and Infiniti wouldn't exist, and BMW, Mercedes, and Audi wouldn't be having the exponential growth, and record sales they have been enjoying. They make good cars with premium materials, and engineering, but everyone knows the badge sells.)

To many the premium of my RS4 isnt worth it over a regular S4, but if you need to ask, it most likely wouldn't be worth it to you. Hell, to many, all a car is, is a way to get you from Point A to Point B, and anything more than a bare bones civic isn't worth the premium.

The Camry is known for reliable, well engineered transportation, albeit completely uninspiring to drive. To me the newest one looks like a corolla on steroids which is even more bland than the previous one. If that's what you are after, go for it; nothing will do the job better. Personally, I enjoy, and need more than that for my vehicles.

SSFTSX

It is just enlarge Corrola with dysfunctional shape.

Acura_Dude

^ Imo it does look better than the Corolla.

SSFTSX

Corrolla body is more strealmned. The lights and chrome look more TSX on Corrolla.

tsxykid105

look at that wheel gap ick. but id pick an acura over any toyota anyday its just all around more clasy and sporty and the acura family is great to be apart of.

The one thing i haven't had good luck with on a toyota car when it hits hihger mileage is struts. It seems like once you hit 90-100k the struts start to cup the tires and need to be replaced. The two camry's and one es300 all needed struts around that mileage. We have had 10 honda's and none needed them.

I bought my 09 tsx I4 for about the same price as an accord with the same features and same general year.
I like the new camry but i also want something not everyone has. Sure there are a decent amount of tsx's around but there are fewer tsx's than the camry and i like that.

A little off key... but what is it with the reflectors in the rear bumper area? Is that some new government requirement?

When I think of reflectors, I think of my old banana seat bike that I would pop wheelies on.

Ken1997TL

They want their rear seats to fold down?

They do drive differently.

Ken1997TL

They're required in some European countries. I do know that.

KillerG

dont even feed him, his comments have been beyond retarded, he is trolling

he owns a TL and he is sitting here telling us he wants to trade up to a camry and then comments on how we must lament the TSX because it has the interior of an accord

SSFTSX

TSX has one of best interior and side mirror design. Accord leather is pretty rundown.



This Camry is joke. much simpler interior design no curves.


Corrolla shape super imposed on Older Camry with much worse mirror design.

Ken1997TL

SSFTSX troll very poorly and clearly pay by Honda.


Side mirror comparisons? Really?

Mr. NC

That camry rear is paaainful to look at but the front...its like a TSX like I said! it even has a shield grille!!!! but colourmatched haha

I CU2

The ass of a Subaru Legacy, those exhausts look similar from somewhere as well

Mr. NC

Nicely played I CU2, that Legacy design-wise was such a let down lol, totally forgot bout the Legacy guess thats how much it bombs, the previous gen Legacy is a completely differnt matter tho.

Legacy Spec. B? Yes please

This thread makes me remember the time when my friend told me that there's three types of people that drives Camry:

1. Old and Elderly
2. Female
3. Gay

And he mentioned that there's also an exception for the uncatergorized. Haha

KillerG

I CU2

^ Soz Prius.

VortexBlueTSX

Sidenote, with a name like that....he clearly isnt in the correct state of mind to have anything he says taken seriously

opboarding

In my family, thats completely true. Both my sister and my grandma drive a camry. Both are the 05 body style.

Thanks for all the comments. We ended up choosing the Camry SE, in large part due to the great deals being offered by Toyota. The fully loaded SE ended up being over $7,000 less than a TSX Tech. We were thinking of waiting to see the new ILX, but were not sure our old Accord would make it that long, and I have my doubts about whether Honda is going to do a good job with their new cars.

Mr. NC

^ Enjoi your choice

tsxykid105

^ they wont... theyll go to the parking lot and find one on either side of them same color and everything. tsx is much more upscale and if you drive an acura you part of a loving family.........drive a camry ur part of a dying family.

ed_423

crap, where did i park my car?! theres 10 camrys of the same color here!!

main70072

After he said that, we looked around it seems to hold true here too.

main70072

Soo true!

theemike

I found something along those same lines... Camry "Because it's captured an entire generation - age of its average buyer now in their 50s"... (http://www.automotivedigest.com/cont...e.aspx?a=36353) whereas TSX "buyers are expected to range in age from 28 to 34 years old..." (http://www.netcarshow.com/acura/2011-tsx_sedan/)

pickler

comparing the legacy and tsx to camry?? what has this world come to...

defconskylude

i saw the new camry and is ugly as fuck. at first i thought it was a modified corolla and had to double look at the badges.

personally, the camry wouldnt even making on my car buying list because it doesnt compare. looks > price

musty hustla

I say the same thing about my TSX

mocheen

I was surprised to see so much Camry bashing in here. I just bought a new 2012 Camry SE V6 fully loaded for under $28,000. I was looking for a daily driver so I would not have to drive my modded M3 to work every day. My lifted 4Runner gets terrible gas mileage. The TSX was my first choice, but for the money the Camry beat it out. Sure it is not as sporty looking or as nice inside but I get the same gas mileage, a 6 speed transmission and smart key access for $6000 less. If I want speed and performance I can just jump in my M3.

I know this is the Acura forum, but I just wanted to point this out. I am not a grandma, gay Or anything else. I am just practical. I would rather invest my saved dollars. I haved owned many Acuras from legend coupe, tls, tl aspec 6-speed to type r, so don't call me an Acura hater. I just have never owned an NSX. If I get rid of my M3 a Porsche or GTR will be replacing it. Stop bashing and just admit that the Camry is a viable alternative to the TSX.

IMO, Camrys are of low quality. Sure engine is reliable, but everything else is cheap plasticky, and of low grade.

Sure 5K is a big gap in price, but lets not forget that 5K buys you more power, better sound system, HID lights, quality material inside and out, refinement, and LOOKS! Seems worth it to me.

As for performance compared to your old TSX, you won't find it in the new TSX anf if youre comparing it to cars such as 3 series, A4/a5, G37 you definitely won't find it in this car, but comparing to accords, camrys and the likes, this car is a no brainer

DLCU2

In NYC, many of the new T&LC cars (Taxi & Limousine Company) is the new Camry. I wonder if people would wave me down for a ride if I went with a Camry

Never test drove the Camry, but I have sat in one (T&LC car). It was decent, but very plasticly and "basic". And IMO, the interior of the TSX compared to the Camry justifies the price difference alone.

iSeeYouTwo

Are you sure? :gheylaugh:

SlickxAc

whats with all the thread revivals recently o.o

DLCU2

lol. Not much activity in the 2G TSX section. Revived threads = something to read at work
