To be or not to be.

I just returned the loaner car (09 TSX) and got my TL back, but now I want the TSX. Am i crazy/stupid? yea, its slower but u cant do much with speed unless u want speeding tickets. The TSX acceleration is enough to "be first" in a red light. im trying to justify my car being better cuz the TL has LED break lights and actuall rims instead of the TSX caps, very cheap looking.

my car
My courtesy car.

The dealer got you! That is the point for "upgrading" owners to newer loaner rides, for this exact reason. BUT the new TSX is a nice looking (can't say feeling because I have driven one) ride. Looks bomb but maybe wait for the new V6 - it may have a whole new feel on the TSX

Ha, yup the dealer got you good. I don't know though, the interior looks nice, not sure about comfort, but I think the 3G TL exterior still looks 100x better.

Same bells and whistles, different layout. Stick with the power. Stick with the TL.

TSX V-6 with Nav will set you back 37k...not worth it IMO.

I had the choice between a 2009 tsx 6spd with navi or the TL I have now.
Overall I thought the TSX was a nice car super fun around town. But on the highway it was noisier and not as planted as the TL. My wife wasn't a big fan of the big knob that controls the navi either.
I am extremly happy with the pick I made.

+1 on the grass is greener comment above

Stick with the TL, it'll be better in the long run.

I've always felt like the TSX was kind of a mini-TL. The '09's are nice, but I also agree you're better with your TL.

By the way, I got an e-mail from Acura promoting the new V-6 TSX.
