i think it looks very nice.
i've always thought about buying an sti, with a rear spoiler delete request from the dealership (i don't even know if it's possible).
if funds aren't an issue, i'd do it.

Test drive and decide if it's as comfortable and smooth as your TSX. You are going from apples to oranges here, I wouldnt say it's an upgrade....just a completely different category of a car.

The car looks nice though. Much better without that big
wing on the back.

As much I respect the performance of the STi, I think the TSX is a terrific all around car only lacking one attribute: power. Hence, if I were a TSX owner then I would just wait until some aftermarket company (i.e.: Cybernation) makes a turbo kit for the K24A (assuming one does not already exist
).If I were going to trade the TSX into a Subaru, it would likely be the LGT Spec B.

If you live in a city and that's all the driving you do I wouldn't do it. If you live out in the country and have some nice roads, I'd much rather have an STI over most cars.

Why downgrade to a non-luxury ... eh .... less luxury make and model?

there is no turbo application yet for the tsx k24a2 due to lack of engine mgt, i.e. K-pro. The only thing out right now is the comptech supercharger/special hondata reflash combo. But for 5k you only get about 60whp. It would be nice to be able to tune a turbo setup since the k24 has such a long stroke and high compression, you need to be able to tune it to maximize performance and not blow up your engine.

i agree that going from tsx to regular sti would be somewhat of a downgrade. however the sti limited seems to have all the options that a tsx has plus power. the only thing that i'd toss probably is the stereo but i did that with my tsx as well...

Looks nice. Im still not a big fan of the tribecca look.
The STi will cost over $5,000 more than a brand new TSX. I hardly think thats a downgrade...
So many Evo/STi haters
Its a detuned rally car. For those of you who have no idea what that is

Can't sell the new STi. Much less than the previous model here in the States. I think less than 4-5000 were sold same goes for the Evo probably with a bit more sales.

Just b/c it costs more doesn't mean you can compare ride quality, fit and finish, and comfort. The TSX just does those things better. It's an apples to oranges comparison. I don't think there's much hate for those cars, it's just that many people wouldn't give up those things to get into one. They also carry that boy-racer stereotype which many people outgrew. Personally, I like the STi and Evo, but I would never own one...
