Keeping the 3G

Well I went in and drove the 4G awd again today because my lease is up and came out deciding that besides the interior I really like my car better. The new one feels really big and yes the awd helps the handling but the acceleration is no better, gas mileage sucks compared to mine, and the exterior is way more sporty on the 3G maybe because its a-spec but whatever. Now saying that I like the look of the 4G in awd format it has really grown on me but with the incentives they are offering its just not time to switch yet... Maybe the 6mt will change my mind but for now Im going to buy mine out and buy some tl-s tails

Matt-I totally agree with you. The 3G is more of a sports sedan and the 4G is going for more of the luxury sedan look. That is one of the main reasons I got a 3G-for its sporty look.

One of my neighbors has a NBP 4G, everyone frown at it when they see it, but I only receive compliments on my 3G TLS.

Good choice! I hardly see any 4Gs around Austin unless they are the dealer loaners. I think the 4G could possibly be the ugliest car on the road today and I figure sales are way down.

Same here- bought the 3G off lease when I couldn't find an affordable car I liked better. The 4G was out of the running when I noted its larger size, exterior looks and console panel arrangement in the showroom-- it seems targeted towards the GS350 buyer (the only person I know who has a 4G had a GS before).

I could live with the rear end on the 4G, but the front is just to ugly. I drove a base w/Tech, and it drives like a boat, very floaty. The AWD version might be better, but I still couldn't bring myself to buy one.

V6 TSX might be another story.......

I agree, the V6 TSX may be pretty nice. I bet there is a lot of buzzing going on the TSX section about it's possiblities.
