ok let's pretend we don't know that the TL is higher class than the TSX, wouldn't you think that the TSX looks a lil refined than the TL? TSX comes with signal mirrors while the TL doesn't. although headlights has uncanny resemblance, headlights on the TSX looks bit sleeker than the TL.

The TL has different taillights and it seems a little wider than the TSX

The TSX is one sexy car... I saw one in person, and I would definitely buy it if I had the money. It seems a little overpriced though..

Totally loaded? I doubt it. The prices online say 28K with navigation.

i wonder if the 8th gen civic would end up looking same with these type of headlights, that would be hot. there's only 2 possibilities i can think of right now, the way HONDA designs their car as of now, the new 8th gen would either look like the current accord or the TL/TSX.

I like em both... The TL has that cool line and the sidemarker & door handles follow. The TSX looks like a mini me version that could def. hold it's own to the main competition...

I'm pretty sure the next gen Vic would follow the look of the TSX slightly, becuase that's the Japanese Accord.

have you done any research on the car? the only option interior wise is navi. Exterior wise, you have the option of the lip kit, spoiler, rims, foglights, and the bra i think. THATS IT. there are no other options. Things like dual climate control, heated seats, and the like are standard options on the TSX.

but look Japan have both the USDM TSX= JDM Accord and USDM Accord = JDM Inspire. so it may be one way or the other. As you noticed, the JDM Civics (sedan) are gearing towards luxury than sporty. Civics now have the rep to be mini Accords, jeez the prices are dope, its about to cross the $20k price range. thus the price range of Accords/Camry.

The TSX is like a little brother of the TL. They look the same and the TSX is a cheaper version with a 4 cylinder 200 hp engine. The TL has a 270 hp V6 engine. I'd get the TL over the TSX anyday. If the TL engine were in the TSX, that's a different story.

I think it would be cool if I got one of those White TSXs, since my dad just bought a new white TL. We could be the white Acura family. I would get those five spoke anthracite wheels too, those are awesome.

both are Hot cars regardless. all im wondering is that if HONDA decides to facelift the new gen civic similar to the likes of TL/TSX or the Accord then that would be awesome. although the performance department need to "kick it up a notch".

Or they could bog it down a bit... They could just use a low powered K20. Honda detuned the MDX engine for the Pilot and they even put it in the Odyssey.

The TL is sweet. And trust me, it has no problem gettin the power down if u know how to drive it. You can get all the power u need outta that 270 hp. A very very sweet car.

by the way my dad has one.

i have a hunch that the new civic would look just like the Accord thou. likewise, the new RL would look like a bloated TL/TSX

Just want to make sure you have seen both of them in person, because the TL has so much more body features and eye candy, such as the dual exhaust, rear lights, rear side marker, sleek indention down th side.................

Can someone post a comparison from the back view???
