Goodbye 04 TL

I purchased an 05 TSX today so having to say farewell to my TL!

Actually, not that bad as the TL is now my wifes daily driver. We were putting too many miles on the Suburban and decided to get a 3rd car.
New TSX non-navi 6MT. Didn't want to spring $2000 for Navigation again. One per family seems about right.

I've seen some poor people live like kings a'la begging for money. A guy in NY begged for money part time and pulled in more money than his part time job. There was this guy in Dallas that they followed to Shreveport when they found out all he did was gamble.... sorry for the OT.

Congrats on the TSX...awesome car but for less cost I'd pick up an 05 Subaru Legacy GT.

Picked up the car last night (05 TSX). A few first impressions: Cost difference of about $7,000 between TSX non-navi and TL Navi. There are obviously areas they had to cut costs. In the TSX there is a bar to hold up the hood, TL has the nice gas stuts to hold the hood up. Engine power obviously. No memory seats, no automatic sun-roof and other little things.
I drove the TL to the dealership and the TSX home. I am a bit rusty with a stick but the 6MT is very smooth. The TL feels planted and the power is right there, whereas the TSX requires a little more attention to keep right where you want it. The power is actually pretty good, easily will keep pace with traffic. Unlike the TL you have to work the TSX a bit to get the power.
For the money both are great values. TL is certainly more upscale, comfortable and powerful.
