big thanks to ssftsx and the people that quarrel with him, and the people that quarrel with the people that quarrel with him.
These threads are now almost unreadable and useless.
I don't know how, but unequivocally he got its aim:
almost everybody speaks ABOUT him, about his stupidity and so on...
And he likes it, evidently.
I should feel ashamed after so many attacks and mockeries.
He is not.
I think he is happy now.
Cause we are speaking of him all the time.

I couldn't agree more.
But there are brand loyalists on EVERY car forum. No amount of arguing will change his mind. When I had my Explorer, according to most people on the Explorer forums it was a better SUV than the Pathfinder and 4Runner. I wasnt going to waste my time arguing with them even though I disagreed
Having a laugh once in a while about his statements is one thing but I find it most annoying when people try to have a SERIOUS argument with him.

You think he is bad, go over to the 4G TL threads and there are some staunch loyalists over there. You say anything negative about the 4G or Acura in general and they jump down your throat. Most of them believe that people who do not like the current 4G body style/grill and Acura's current direction are in the minority and the new TL is unique and super looking

^ ouch. I might've bought an SH-AWD 6MT if it was a tad smaller and didn't have a beak. The 5AT felt like dog shit compared to the 5AT in my 3G.
The car definitely is unique I give 'em that.

Shift_Acura has a point. It is one thing to make some threads about how you want Honda/Acura to change their product line, but there is no need to countertroll SSFTSX. There are people like him on every forum; just because more people agree with you here doesnt mean you have to pick apart every one of his posts.
keep it up SSFTSX!!! do it for honda!!defend the J SERIES!!!

Its one thing to be a troll, but to do it to his extent, with the mind-boggling inaccuracies, is on a completely different level.

Seriously?
Is there a need for "Mr. Sidemirrorsandgroundclearance" to troll these boards in the first place?

No there isn't. We all are fanbois to a certain extent. This guy does it to get a rise out of all of us and it works. Last year he was anti-Honda and had an Audi hard-on you can hang a towel from.

2010 TL AWD 6MT: New King
That's a pretty broad and brash statement, fascism to its finest.
I've owned a 1G TSX and now a 4G TL. So where does that put me, in a halfway house?
Until the guidelines change, AZ is an open forum. There's no need for AZ members (Cartalk and Automotive News in particular) to resort to such authoritarian attitudes and personal attacks, whether it be on "all 4G TL members", SSFTSX, or anyone else for that matter.

C/D: 2010 Acura TSX V6 vs. 2011 Buick Regal CXL Turbo, 2010 Volkswagen CC 2.0T R-Line
Pretty interesting comparison test between the Regal CXL Turbo, VW CC 2.0T R-line, and the TSX V6.
http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...mparison_tests
1.) CC
2.) TSX
3.) Regal
Specs: http://www.caranddriver.com/var/ezfl...06720d4d53.pdf
Performance-wise, the TSX V6 is simply in the league of its own. It's quite a bit faster than the VW while being significantly faster than the Buick. Despite the fact that it has the most outdated tranny and engine, it still gets 28mpg in the C/D trip, just 1mpg less than the CC with 80 less hp and 1mpg more than the Buick.
The VW on the other hand destroyed the others in the subjective areas, such as ride comfort, handling, steering feel, styling, etc. I guess this is a good example that we can't just look at the numbers and rate a car. Good job VW.

Nope. I had a great Halloween with my family. My daughter had plenty of fun this year. 
Just looking soley at page 65, it's attacks like "just puts this clown on ignore. Far too many threads are being railroaded by his stupidity" and "The 4G forums and all of its members should be quarantined" that are un-necessary and completely irrelevant to this TSX thread.
Look at some of the other threads. Far too many threads end up completely useless b/c of such comments.
Those and other like comments contribute nothing positive to the thread, and negates an enthusiast atmosphere.
Judging by the upper left header, isn't Acurazine an online community of "the unofficial enthusiast resource?"
Doesn't matter if I spend $40k+ on a TL, $60k on a S4, $30k on a Subaru, or $200k on a Ferrari. Owing a particular make does not automatically imply such broad authoritarian generalizations. Doing so may propagate false stereotypes and create misunderstandings.

Nope, no loss of passion here.
My job isnt to like or tell every one that honda makes the bestest most super-dooper cars in the world and if you arent humping a honda tailpipe you are a idiot. My job is to keep the forum running. I dont have to like every thing honda does, i dont have to be a honda fanboy. i dont, AND im not.That Doesn't mean i dont like the company. I just dont like the direction they are going as opposed to where they once were. Hell i still own one. 10+ years and almost 400,000 miles.
And Dont sit here and tell me how to do my job.

See where pttl wrote "red text--->"?
That means that pttl was being sarcastic/kidding when he wrote that.
We don't think you need to be quarantined; you just need your sight examined for buying a 4G TL.

Darn conforming 3G members
Back on topic:
Rumors have it in the TSX section the 2011 wagon will start at around $34k. In addition with Acura toning down the grill, it's a good move IMHO, as people try to downsize from large SUVs in this lackadaisical economy.
If Acura is aiming for the TSX Sportswagon to compete with the likes of the A4 Avant (around $40k), why doesn't Acura offer the wagon w/AWD? Inquiring minds want to know...

You are guilty of quarreling with SSFTSX more than just about anybody else which causes threads to go completely off topic.
And it sounds like you have no intentions of stopping which further proves my point.

To clarify, it will eventually be sold but we will most likely have to keep it in inventory for 4-6 months. The reason we can't sell it is the production will be very low to start and they want to make sure that there will always be a vehicle for people to see and drive if they come in to the dealership.
