New 2011 TSX I4 Tech Graphite Luster
So i traded a 2010 G37S Navi for this car about a month ago. I love it! The new graphite luster paint is awesome, the car rides smooth and quietly, im getting 28 mpg, and the new LED VGA Navi kicks ass. The ELS stereo actually sounds better than the Bose Studio on Wheels. Ive owned Lexus (IS350), Infiniti (G37), Honda (AccordV6 Coupe), Acura (TL 6MT) and i definitely have come to the conclusion that i love Honda/Acura the best.
Current Mods:
OEM Lip Spoiler
Llumar True Ceramic 15% Tint
Warm White LED internal light conversion
Llumar Clear Bra
I put a couple coats of Zaino on, so the paint looks even better

Congrats! The new color is hands down the best, even better than VBP IMO. I am very jealous!

Yeah there's definitely no green in there. I've seen it up close and personal in the show room. Funny what different lighting does to paint!
Regardless, I think besides VBP, Graphite Luster really "pops"...

i like the TSX much better than the V6 accord coupe. The NAVI GUI is unbelievably better in the TSX. The TSX has less squeaks and rattles and is MUCH quieter. I even dynamatted and hush-matted the entire accord. The 11 TSX is really quiet with the new sound insulation they use. The seat feels firmer on the TSX, the accord made pops and squeaks when i would shift my weight.
As far as the engine, the V6 accord was a little faster, but without the paddle shifters lacked the ability to really ever get in the V-Tec band of the RPMs. The automatic transmission on the V6 is very conservative, where as the TSX's 4 cylinder will get up in the higher RPMs before shifting even without the paddle shifters. Ive never really liked honda's gearing on their automatics, but i never really find myself wishing the TSX was in a different gear, so i cant complain about the TSX's. Its too bad they didnt put the 6 speed auto in the TSX this year though as the increased MPG and being able to be above 4000 RPMs more often would really be nice.
