Picking up an '09 on Saturday

Hi everyone,

I'm a first time acura owner, long time admirer. I understand the aversion for some of the new designs, especially the front grill, but like a lot of people have mentioned, the car looks much better in person. I've always been impressed with the interiors of acuras, but sitting in this one made me giggle like a 9 year-old on Christmas morning. Anyway, I just closed the deal and am picking one up on Saturday...Crytal Black Pearl with Ebony interior (black on black), manual transmission, tech package.

$1000 of MSRP

$399/month lease with 3k down (trade-in value), 12,000 miles for 36 month

All-season floor mats.

I'll post pics as soon as I get her.

Cheers

Will do...I'll take a ton of pics. I actually haven't seen a black in person, so I'm a bit nervous. Found the one I wanted a few hours from my house. My local dealership wasn't too eager to search around for the color, transmission, and tech package that I wanted, so I had to look elsewhere.

here's some inspiration for you:





not black on black, but black on the outside at least.

^^^ That TSX is looking good... I dunno about the wing on the back though. Yay for the grille!




Congrats, btw! I can't wait to see pics of yours.

Agreed.....I'd go for the lip spoiler instead.

I'm not sure about the humps on either side of it, but I do like the lip spoiler more.

Looks sweet, thanks! Its very hard to tell what the cars will look like in person on the acura website...all of the pics look like airbrushed cartoons.

webs...CONGRATS on yourn purchase. The one I test drove was a black on black with tech package and it was sweet!! I am sure you will like it, ALOT!! I ordered a white one as I have a white fetish *lol* All my cars are white.

As far as the car in the pics above...I for one, think I prefer the wing spoiler over the lip, especially with a bodykit. Unlike, buckeye (no offense) I dislike the wheels on that car, its too much...

Congrats webs. Great color choice.

Where did you get those pictures? The dealership on the plate is one I've been to.

Definitely not feeling those rims in that color
