Acura TSX Type-S Real or Fake?

I'm down here in Florida on vacation and what do I happen to see? Hello it's a shiny new TSX but there's a small detail that catches my girlfriends eye... a little S badge. I figure she's got to be wrong. I haven't heard anything about a TSX Type-S. Well I grabbed the old Camera phone and figured I'd submit a picture for your scutinization pleasure.

The badge is in the wrong spot. It should be TSX Type S not Type S TSX

I really would figure this to be a "fake type-S". I mean like the owner just stuck that badge on there. The only problem is that why would a TSX owner go through the trouble. It had no rice anywhere to be found. No silly wings or funny shift *****. I mean ****, the thing had a car seat in the back.

This is exactly what I thought. On top of that, if you look real close the "type-s" badge is kind of slanted.

Yep, just goes to prove that ANY car can be the victim of rice, even a nice new TSX.

FAKE!!

Heck, for 04 the only Type S is the RSX...

The TL is just a TL now (270hp worth!) and the CL is gone...

TSX Type S would be neat...

Sorry, that one is a fake and boy does it cheapen what is otherwise a pretty nice car.

Maybe the guy just wants to fit in with his buddies who own ricemobiles, with tons of stickers and carbon fiber paper on their stock hood.

It was probably a creative sales person that put that sticker on there. Maybe the car has a couple of extra options or something. Only the retard that put that on there knows for sure. When the REAL TSX type-S comes out I hope the guy feels real real stupid.
