Thumbs up Pics of Sport Wagon in Graphite Luster Metallic

Was at my dealer this morning to get my first oil change (hard to believe I've put 5k miles on my car in a little under 3 months!) and they had the new wagon in graphite luster metallic on the show room floor. First off, the car is beautiful in person - if I had any need for a wagon, I would be all over this. The new grille looks great in person and even the new fog casings come across better. Secondly, GLM is an awesome color - it goes from grey to blue to black depending on the lighting. It has tons of metallic flakes in it so I would imagine it would look unbelievable in the sun.

Aside from the different texture of the center console, a few less buttons, and the white stitching on the leather - it looks and feels just like the 09/10 sedan. The machined wheels are very nice looking and it looks like it may be possible to switch out the center cap on the 09/10 with the new 11 version, but I'm not 100% sure.

Here are some shots I took with my blackberry.

the law in most states permits the back windows of "trucks/SUV's" legally but "cars/wagons" it is not legal.

You sure about that? I was under the impression that most states allow tinting on all car/wagon windows except the front passenger and driver windows, as well as the front windshield. Most states even allow some light tinting on the front passenger and driver windows...

I also saw the wagon for the first time on Friday while in for my first oil change (@6350mi/15%!) I really liked it. I had seen the TSX SportWagon concept on the website when I was shopping for my TSX in July. Too bad it would only be available with the 4banger... I really wanted the V6 and I don't regret going with it. The wagon would have been very useful with my 2 dogs because they could have easily fit in the cargo area. Instead, I have to take my truck if I need to travel with my lab because I don't trust her in the back seat of my TSX sedan. :P She is a bit more cramped in the extended cab space of my Ranger than she would have been in the wagon.

Anyhow, its a very sharp looking wagon for anyone interested I suggest you stop by the dealer and have a look! I also like the white stitching on the leather, nice touch!
