Just added a fifth car to the stable. It's an '08 Acura TSX. Pearl white, tan leather interior, loaded, low mileage. It's to be my wife's DD. Before calling me a traitor to the Nissan cause, my fleet is still 40% Nissan. I kept the ol' Altima and my son is now driving it.

The weather is deteriorating so I only got one pic of it....

Those are nice cars. My mom was about to get one a few years ago, but sprung for the TL Type-S. Totally unnecessary.

Plenty of power, and great mileage. Nice interior as well. Also one of the last nice looking Acuras before they destroyed the look of their lineup.

I like them a lot. I wish they were RWD, they have the lines that suggest it.

And here I thought your 350Z was blue... I just assumed that you would have a blue car and not a red one.

Sweet ride! An Acura for her is forgivable as long as you keep the Z. Unless you get a wild hair and decide to trade it in on a GT-R!

LOL, aww thanks. I'm planning to keep Z a long time unless Nissan offers a traditional 6 speed manual in the GT-R. Then I'd probably trade up. :dblthumb:

Yeah...no. Adequate power perhaps. Notwhere near "plenty." I like the TSX a lot, but 170 ft-lb is far too little for a 3400lb car. I hate Honda for waiting until the uglied-up redesign to put the damn 3.5 in it.

I didnt know it was that short on power. I bet the TSX's transmission wrings out every little bit that it can.

Adequate is a very good word to describe it's power given its primary user (my wife) is a non enthusiast. :bigthumb:
