Yep, acuras and hondas either get an MMC or FMC every 2 years...

EXAMPLE: TSX intro in 2004, MMC in 2006, FMC scheduled for 2008...

06-08? civic all new model


09-10? civic minor makeover?

Anyone actually like the 2006 TSX modifications versus the 2005 model?
It looks more 'bling' to me

They "refreshed" the TSX after 2 years. Its pretty common, and is good for sales.

um, it's "you're"...


and i like the refreshes in between model changes. it brings new life into the models while you're waiting for the next design. i wish i had an '06 tsx...mostly because of the options.

except I like the 05 front a little more still I think (the added features kick butt in 06 though),......but who cares,....any year TSX = sexy.

haha thanks. took a while, but trying to people that dont pay much attention to get the point. and it was definitly fun going through the honda/acura model timeline researching pics.

i saw one personally at a local Acura meet we had a week ago. its not too bad i guess, but its gonna take some time to get used to. the lip on the hood was an interesting idea when it first came out on the acura's,but now it looks weird going back to the full grill on front bumper look. definnitly need some time to get used to
