i've seen some TL's with grilles painted black to match the car. looks very nice.

and i've seen some pics of the MDX with a painted grille too.

the body of the car looks very good and better than the 1g, imo. it looks the same but more aggressive and sharper. the wider stance, i like a lot.

it's just the wheels and the grille that mess it up for me. but luckily those are easier to fix.

i was mostly turned off by the rumored pricing, but it's not even that bad. however, with the tech package, there are so many choices out there already...

While I'm not crazy about, new wheels (18 minimum) do wonders for it. Check out this chop. Stock 18's from the Accord coupe. Looks good IMO. Like Luv I have no idea how they could screw up wheel selection so bad.

but that was expected from honda/acura.

you could say the same thing about the stock wheels on the MDX. or the TL type-S's wheels, which are love/hate. but you gotta do at least 18's...

whoever said "Its not bad" need to get their eyes checked. The car looks like it was in a wreck and someone glued it back together.

Other than the wheels the new TSX isn’t that bad. The grill is actually growing on me. Who ever was in charge of wheel selection should be fired.

Wow, the 18s from the Accord make it look like a different car. NICE!

I think they suit the car perfectly. I know Honda couldn't use them but something similar would have been nice. Looks like the stock wheels made the cut based on price.

is there any option to put a chrome strip piece on the bottom of the grill to make it look less odd looking? other than that the new TSX is alright.

Why are people asking for pics of a car that we have seen already.

You should be calling you local dealer to see if they have any in, then go in to see them in person.

If you want pics is your friend.

sometimes, people want to see real pics instead of the show or magazine pics.



kinda like why people ask for pics of someone else's new car.

You gotta drive it before you talk $hiT about the car. It drives nothing like your old TSX. But then again...I don't know much. I just sell them.

so can you answer whether or not there is any option to put another chrome strip on the grill to cover the bottom hole gap? That would be the first thing I would add to make the new TSX look better.

sweetheart, please don't try to bash on the "old" TSX. I can guaranfuckintee you my 04 tsx will run circles around the '09 tsx.

and trust me, you people that sell cars know nothing except maybe something that's written in the owners manual.

aren't there rulez for dealerships/salespeople to post on AZ? makes me sick that we allow these people to post on here like this...

I agree. Put on some aftermarket wheels and do some work on that grill, you'd get a good looking car.
