TSX in this month's MAXIM
P. 122, check it out...
featured as one of Maxim's "All-Stars" for 2004, calling it "A status symbol for guys on a budget."
I think that comment is pretty much on point.

As for the status symbol, it sounds pretty superficial - they should lose that part instead.

Maxim's thing was really stupid, although I guess we'll take anything that is intended as praise. Like Dabuda said, $26K-29K isn't really "budget," not in the sense Maxim was saying. I'd have to say it was a euphemism/code for "downscale," maybe even "poor" -- so I say to them --

You guys ever noticed the cars and clothes they pimp? It's an image thing: they want to present themselves as a magazine for high-rollers, even if most of their target demographic couldn't afford one of those $500 shirts, much less a whole wardrobe. Makes their readers feel like they're associating themselves with class.
That said, I'm a reader (free subscription).

Unfortunately I have seen a riced out TSX. It made me sick to my stomach.
