Moronic smile....
Took my 06 in for "Customer appreciation free 45 point check" (actually for the free oil change coupon)
Out front I see the lot owner and an eager beaver saleman finishing a conversation while standing next to a 2009 white tsx...
I butt in..... "What did they do to my TSX? gonna be a tuff sell"
"Less horsepower and a stupid looking grin"
They actually agreed with the horsepower issue and said
"We were trying to figure out why Acura did not put the Turbo or a small V-6 in it ourselves, we would sell a milllion of them"
They continued, "it does have more torque and new electronic steering"
I left it at that and asked about the 2009 TL...he mentioned AWD.
I sat in the 2009 tsx and the seats struck me as much more supportive; the paddle shifters I could do with out...it has grown up too much though size wise, why buy a TL other than the Engine difference?
I prodded the "Idiot Smile" and it felt truly loose and cheesy.
As it was raining, I passed the drive test for another day.
I like my 2006 even more (I did the Hondata and upgraded speakers as my only changes)

Can't imagine many years after, Civic becomes a mid-size family car. Please don't honda.

Make a hole, coming thru!
So on narrow European streets, you need to grow in size to keep up with the Jones' (in this case, European marques)? I call "bull****." But the car isn't enormously larger, and I've heard several test drivers comment that it feels roomier than their 2004-2008 model TSX. So clearly something was done in addition to simply increasing the outside measurements.
