TSX A-Spec: Am I missing something?

[Lebowski]

This issue of Road & Track has a review of the TSX A-Spec.  In the review, they say the sticker price, including navigation (in addition to the wheel/tire package that comes w/ the A-spec, plus all the goodies that come standard on the TSX, including XM satellite radio), is $27,560.  I priced a regular TSX on the Acura website (you apparently can't price the a-spec on the website yet) and the 6-speed w/ Nav starts at $29,160.  What gives?  Am I missing something?

[BMWDave]

That doesnt seem right at all <_<

That must be a mistake. It looks like they quoted the price of a non-nav, non-A-Spec TSX. The TSX A-Spec is something like $33K IIRC.

[TBR]

I noticed that also, I think they got slipped the numbers for the non A-spec version somehow.  

[Lebowski]

Damn.  I knew it sounded too good to be true.

Actually, it's quite sad that they didn't catch it.  It's not just a simple typo, because they actually comment about how much cheaper it is than the regular TSX they last tested.  Shame on you, R&T, that's an amateur mistake.

Does it matter? You can order the suspension by itself for like 800.

It is just odd for a high caliber publication like R&T to make such a mistake, that is the kind of error we expect from the likes of MT.

I am funny, aren't I?

Whore.

My sister's TSX was about 27K, and it does not have a nav.

I want a K24 in my Prelude.

Uhhh, yeah.  The TSX w/ nav is $29k.  I personally don't care much for the body treatment of the A-spec, but either way a loaded TSX, w/ Nav for $1500 LESS than the regular TSX would be pretty sweet.

What's the point of A Spec?  Factory body kit for a few thousand dollars?

It also includes some tuning modifications to the suspension.  At any rate, I am not a fan of it costing so much money for what it does.

And you get to hear a lady talk to you.

The first 2 things said are good.  The rest is rice.  So you buy shocks, springs, and bigger wheels (and is this even necessary?) aftermarket for cheaper.

I agree. But the wheels will help.

I'll sell you a Ka24......some assembly required.
