fyi, in my TL, the whole visor extends (you can pull the whole thing out). Willing to bet this is also in the TSX.

 

the guy on vtec.net who tested it said it doesnt have visor extender

 

i used to own a 99 Accord sedan Ex and it had a visor extender, but when I bought the 04 TSX it didn't have one. maybe the Euros and Japanese people don't care for it.

 

do any of you have seen the 09 RL commercial? and 09RL test drive?

 

i haven't yet, is the 09 RL commercial good?

 

saw the TSX commercial for the first time last week.

i liked it. i didn't really get an MTV vibe as posted earlier because it's clear that they're targeting an older demographic. i agree that they're targeting young professionals that are looking for their first luxury car.

i thought the car looked better in the commercial than in photos.

i'm in the minority on this, but i'm starting to like the car more and more. i could do without the grille and wheels, but as i've said before, those are two of the easier things to modify.

i always thought the 1G TSX's were sharp looking but a bit bland. the new ones make my 05 look really bland though.

funny thing happened yesterday, though. the gf was on the acura website looking at the new TSX since she's been itching for a new car.

reaction after seeing pics of the TSX: "wow! i like it!"

then i clicked on "future vehicles ---> 2009 RL"

reaction after seeing pics of the RL: "Ewww! it looks like the accord again!"

 

take a test drive jedi, my opinions changed on the car after i saw it in person. my gf likes it! she said again that the 1st gen TSX i have looks like a bachelor's car, while the new TSX to her looks like a real luxury car and can fit 5 people comfortably. i was shocked she loved the grill and she said it looks more aggressive.

 

as in you like it now?

i agree with your gf. the car looks a lot more aggressive now, and i think it looks like less of a chick's car than the 1g.

 

ouch chick car? yup, like it, but wish it had an awd option.

 

yea...i have to be honest. our 1g TSX does look like a chick's car.

for a type-S in a few years...

 

if there is a type-s expect this TSX sales > TL sales.

 

oh yeah, this thing still has a hood prop rod? wtf?

 

yup it has the hood prop, was a bit disappointed at that cause the Accord has it and I bet even the Civic has it!!!!!

 

The first thing came to my mind when i saw the commercial is

"the interior looks the same as accord and even navi looks the same, where is the Advance?"

 

hey, but in the commercial you can "find a rare grass fed steak in a red leather booth".

 

You guys are missing the point. The ad is targeted at a specific demographic. This is stellar compared to the craptastic ads of the last couple of years (brand-definining "Acura Advance" and "Acceleration Defined" RL ads excepted, I liked those too).

Or maybe my idea of "hip" has changed as I approach my 40th birthday in a few weeks.

 

Maybe it has

 

My boss walked in this morning and started talking about the TSX commercial he saw on tv over the weekend. He knows I have a 1G, so he was all curious and asked how much it goes for and said, "How much, $50k?" LOL....he was totally serious. I set him straight on the price and he was impressed. You really do get a lot of features for the price, and of course opinions on the styling will vary, as they do with any car, but the 2G TSX piqued his interest, and he said, "That's less than a Lexus." Right now he drives a 2004 or 2005 Toyota Avalon (last year of the old body style).

 

$50K? I think he's just saying that cause he is either naive or is implying that he pays you too much, dang bosses.

 

you'd be surprised to see how many people know so little about cars. it's these type of consumers, the "non enthusiasts," that will continue to buy these cars because as said above, they do have great value.

 

Last I checked we had an entire forum dedicated to the TSX.
