Thanks Nunyazz. I had an awesome time taking this car through some serpentine roads today. My fiance almost had a heart attack when I drove hard into a 35 mph corner, shifted down 2 gears and pushed the car through the corner like it was on rails. Acura's torque vectoring technology is automotive engineering at its very best!

Whoa! that looks so nice! Love those wheels! The blacked out headlights blend in so sweet!

CONGRATS!!

Please don't be disappointed with it (your other post). I love mine so much, the more I drive it (or it drives me), the more I love it.

Thanks for the compliments. I am only going to tint the windows; other than that, nothing else. The only thing I typically do after-market is change the wheels. No need to do that here as the stock wheels on this trim look really awesome.

Thanks for the compliment, but what's your point about Temecula not being in San Diego? Are you saying that buying a car from DCH Temecula (Riverside) somehow means that it cannot be driven in San Diego? Fyi, Temecula is next door to San Diego. The road pictures were from HW 79 which runs trough both Riverside and San Diego counties.

Using your apparent line of reason, I guess we need to move to Orange county and drive our TSX there, since we bought it from DCH Tustin. Boy, this one is a real brain cringer..

Yeah. After I got the TL, the fiance decided to pull the trigger on the 2011 TSX the next day. Not a bad car, but I think it appeals more to the female of the species.

Are the wheels on the new 12 same as the HPT wheel and tire package or did they change something?
