This car has looked better in other pictures.

I am not impressed with these shots. The car looks very conservative here compared to the pics of the Euro. Accord Type R.

Once again the wheel well gap is out of control and the wheels and tires look so small and conservative.

It's starting to look more like a Civic.

And, the dual exhaust jsut doesn't look right here.

Oh well. I'm holding out little hope for the next CL.

Acura is bland personified!

Good scoop gavril...

Now here is my 2 cents....WHY IS THAT THERE'S THE TRADITION HONDA WHEEL GAP PRESENT IN ALL THEIR SPORTS CARS!?!??!?!

I'm gettin' sick of my CLS wheel gap too! The 03 seems to have a much larger front wheel gap than the 01 and even larger compared to the stock 02 TL's!!!

I'm still awaiting some $$$ for shocks..before I reinstall my 01 comptech springs. Shit, hate this fake ass sports car image honda puts on!

Well, I still think the car is hot.... but RED is not it's color.. that's for sure. It has a classic European look to it which is pretty unique. The interior is definitely pimp as well.

Personally this car met my expectations 100%. A model above the RSX and below the CL starting around $24k. Basically I was expecting a nicer Civic... kind of like the Acura EL in Canada. This is actually better then that... so technically it exceeded my expectations. Plus, the pics of the TSX in the Anthracite.... damn.. so sweet.

Oh and the Type-S version will probably be out later this year... after the Premium launches....

Check out www.acura-tsx.com for this kind of pictures and info.. plus a lot more as the site is growing

Nice interior. Why does every sedan now have dual exhausts like they have a V-10 or something?
A4
Altima
TSX
Maxima has quad exhausts
etc
