OT - Commanders (Ashai) new ride y0!
Met up with Trey this morning to see him take delivery of his new Carbon Gray/Black leather TSX 6pd! Some of you may know, he sold his R a week or so ago, well this is the new ride.

Car looks great and is so nice! I am jealous!

That TL in the background is the gen. before the latest TL. I usually can tell its a TL by the marker light on the rear side of the car at the end of the body line. Also, its bigger and its says TL on it.

According to the July Road and Track the TSX A-Spec with 6speed and NAV sells for $27,560. That also with the bigger wheels, front air dam, side skirts, and spoiler. Their as tested price was $27,560:

Actually is it a 270 Hp V6 and the Interior sucked IMO.
Way too big of a car to get into when getting out of an R on the outside too.
TSX Interior > TL Interior.
Have to agree on the wheel well gaps. The plan is something around a 1" drop. Choices are out there but info on them is not. I'm wanting something soft riding still but lower in stance. If I care about handling I'll add a swaybar.
A-Spec Package alone is $4300+ so the price is way more than that article in R&T stated. I am looking at the A-Spec suspension which can be had with shocks AND springs from Showa for $599. That or a Comptech or Eibach Pro Kit type spring.

I was about to say because my mom got an '04 TL about 3 months ago. If it was 300hp I would have been driving it way more often!
IMO, leather interiors suck, period.
Anyways, nice car Trey.

Re: OT - Commanders (Ashai) new ride y0! (Jetydosa)
nice. i will be picking up a TL hopefully on tuesday if i can find it for 500 less than invoice. i went around today and the tsx and tl look VERY similar
are u sure the tsx interior is better than the TL? the tl with navi is 35-36k out the door..this is with no options. straight navi model. with options, you are looking at 38k or so. aspec is just too expensive :\ it'll easily set u over 40k. i would think that a car that costs 5000 more would be a lot nicer on the outside and inside.
im not saying it's better or worse because i have yet to sit inside a TSX, but i can say the NSX interior sucks ***. it's ugly for a 89,000(msrp) car.
edit: according to the acura site, i seem to like the TL's interior a lot more. the back seats are more buckety than the TSX and the dash looks better.
here are pictures of the TSX interior:
they both have amazing looking tach's.
