Traded MDX for TSX

Switched from an 07 MDX to a 09 TSX. Yes -- it was motivated by gas prices plus the size/driving dynamics of the TSX.

So far I'm very happy with the TSX with 2K on it. Coming from the MDX, I love the TSX styling.

Look forward to some lively discussion. I was a member of acuramdx.org, an excellent board for the MDX.

White. No mods yet.

The next gen argument is very common on boards. I remember when the E46 BMW 3 series came out, the BMW boards were flaming.

I am one of the converts that Acura gained with the 2nd gen TSX. I wasn't a huge fan of the 1st gen but do recognize it was a very good car.

Welcome. This forum is probably going to be a lot more fun than mxd.org or whatever it was.

I agree with you there Rockfish. The first gen TSX was an excellent sedan, but it didn't have that wow factor for me.

The 2nd gen TSX did me in when I saw it in person. The online photos just didn't do it justice

I'm awaiting the dealership call to take final delivery. My new baby is getting the clear bra and low profiler spoiler installed. In the meantime, I get to enjoy an RDX as a loaner. Very smooth ride for an SUV.

You already have 2k of drive time behind her? Nice

I just took my 05 RL to the dealer to have the A/C fixed. They gave me an 09 TSX loaner car to drive until the RL is fixed. I live about 120 miles from the dealer. After driving home, I'm thinking about trading the RL for a TSX. The TSX is much more fun to drive.

Ditto. I never looked at the 1st gen. and never bought import brand cars until the '09 TSX came out Though I recognize the 1st gen was mechanically an excellent car, the styling was too bland and Honda-looking for me. I saw the new model at the NY auto show in April and just had to have it. It was in my garage by May.
