1. I don't want to keep using 1st generation TSX and 2nd generation TSX all the time. That gets annoying.
2. If you cared so fucking much, why didn't you just Google the terms?

The CL9 is the first gen TSX, the CU2 is the second gen.

1.  Gen1 TSX?
2.  Acuras arent worth the effort.

I mean DC2 or GC8, those are common.  E46 is common.

CL9?  Not common at all.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

1. Last time I checked, Accords (TSX's) are more common than Subarus.
2. See Rag's post.

Even so, a 3.5L V6 is in the TSX.

Methinks Honda acknowledged just how ugly the TL was. That's why this exists.

Especially since it is AT only.

The TSX and the Accord are becoming more and more alike.

Exactly.

I can't lie, if this thing was offered with a manual, I'd be somewhat interested. FWD and all.

(Interested doesn't mean you would buy one).

If they made it as good as the CL-S was, then I would definitely be a fan.

Yeah, no doubt.

Thing is, it won't be. The CL-S had a LSD, whereas this is just a big V6 hooked up to the front wheels.

Oh I am sure. The engine is already certified and given a choice most buyers (even luxury car buyers) will go with the smallest, cheapest engine.

The 4-banger TSX is fun. My sister has one, and it's a lot of fun to rev the piss out of. Plus, it's a light engine, so the car is light on its feet and handles very well. I'd probably take a 6MT I4 TSX over the V6 one.

Oh certainly. The TSX's I4 is one of the best N/A 4 cylinders out there and then 6MT is probably the best FWD transmission in existence. It is fast enough too, I don't need anything faster than what I have now.

The 1st generation was executed extremely well. The 2nd gen, while also executed well, wasn't quite as much a hit as the 1st gen.

Still, the TSX is a perfect example of a fun FWD car. I have respect for it.

1. Honda finally took a frying pan to the head and saw that the TL is uglier than the Aztek, and this could compensate for the TL's lost sales due to it's looks.
2. People buy the RL? LOL.

It was in 1 head-to-head.

That was also against the M54 E60 530i, which got replaced by the N52 530i, and then the N54 535i.

It's a glorified Accord that's been outclassed by the Accord.

Which is great...seeing as it's outselling the more expensive BMW and Merc alternatives.
