Wondering about some rumors

Hello - I'm new over here. I'm thinking of getting a TSX, and I have some questions that occur to me because of things I've heard:
(1) I hear it's not really as good as the IS300, no OOMPH, and looks like crap. (I know I might get banned for reporting this, but I tell it like it is.)
(2) I hear that some BMW owners have gotten very nervous and envious of TSX, and that in some cases there have been nervous breakdowns which have increased the burden on our already-strained health care system, which is certainly not a good thing. Should I avoid buying a TSX on this basis?
(3) I'm worried about only 4 cylinders. Everybody knows that you never get anywhere fast with a 4-banger and besides you go deaf, right?

Please help me out. Signed, confused

yep, there are lots of people who talk about how the tsx is tooo slow, or 4 cyl..., or its too expensive.. but when they find out it can hang with its competition it was intended for, then they realize that the tsx is more than worth its price...

Hey blackie, you give me too much credit! (You assume I'm actually serious some of the time.)

Actually I'm one of the biggest fans of the TSX, and I was just having a little fun about some of the alleged criticisms that I don't think hold much water.

I know you're right that the car is too slow for some people. But for me, ZZZIPPPPPPPP!

Speaking of the IS300, anyway to pre-ban BeingIS300. If he finds out about this place we might have to put up with his crap for weeks.

In a battle of wits that could be epic. No I did have suspicions though.

Your joking right??

Although it would make alot of sense. But then I have trouble believing that because Mo never once (that I can remember) mentioned the IS300. And we know that the real BeingIS300 could'nt have gone more than 2 words before he started typing IS300.

. . .the uninformed (or dare I say "stupid") who only look at the size of the engine compared to the price rather than the whole package.

Honda has proven numerous times what it can do with fewer cylinders than its competitors. That's technology.

If you think that's OK -- check out the "casting" on "Search-and-rescue from the old site" (Off Topic).

I think we need your approval before we can go ahead......
