Re: NYIAS 08 Preview: 2009 Acura TSX

FWD + bland styling = double boring. Add a turbo and SH-AWD to the TSX and then they've got something.

Really, the only thing the TSX had going for it was the toys - navigation, bluetooth, etc. However, most of these things can be had on lesser-priced vehicles now (except those from GM, of course!). The snappy manual transmission was also a plus and I would hope that it's still got that.

A lot of my tech buddies had Acuras (the 3rd generation Integra was a solid car for its time). They've since switched to other makes - Lexus, BMW, and Mini to be exact. Not one of them has bought another one for one reason or another.
