SmoothStyle1, do you know something new regarding the TSX coupe. I have not seen anything new on the web in about a month regarding any new spyshots or news about the TSX sedan. I have only seen that one single concept picture of the TSX Coupe and several well covered pictures of the sedan. I'm hoping the TSX Sedan or Coupe will look good and aggressive. It is my 2nd choice. Also considering the all new TL, G37.

I looked at those for a second. VW's just scare me too much. And no manual? Bah.

Should be about the same cost as 335i, maybe a few thou lower.
an average 335i will run you around 47 OTD, while the evo MR will at most be about 40 OTD

No problem... I'll definitely give this a look.

I'm looking for a fun daily driver to go with my M Roady.....
& as much as I love BMW, I don't have a Roundel tattooed on my butt yet. :tongue:
The fact that it's RWD is what would put it on my list of alternate choices.

Evo X and '08 STi.


I would never even consider the VW R32 when the Evo and STi are much better cars at the same price, and I'm a curent VW owner.

The TSX is already at $30K now (msrp on a TSX with navi)... The TL has already moved "upscale" (i.e. more expensive) with the introduction of the type S in 2008 MY (msrp $38), so I'd assume a TSX with more content is going to move upscale too..

I think the 128 is going to be priced so that it competes well with the TSX... I don't need 4 doors, and would rather have RWD, so even if the 128 is a little more expensive after adding some options (acuras are generally better equipped with standard features), I can easily justify spending more...

Acuras aren't the bargains that they once used to be... It was one thing to buy a FWD car because it was cheap, but now that they pricing is closer to their RWD rivals, it's easier to just make the jump to rwd from a financial standpoint...

FWD for the lose, screw Acura!

For me its the 135 vs 335. If the 135 disappoints somehow (the only thing left is price?) im going to look for a good deal on the 335. I really don't see anything else in the market as appealing as these two.

I think you're right. The 335 is closer to the 135 than anything else out there.

Now if only they made it slightly shorter...

I figured 37500 for the 135, 43500 for the 335 results in $100/mo payment difference. Is $100/mo. more worth the extra space and more paint/interior options and whatever other differences?

mm..how bout the IS350 RWD?

I'm cut between the IS350, 135i, & Evo X.

In the back of my mind were the 2008 Accord Coupe and the new TSX coupe..

too many decisions..

If you want 4-door sedans, lots of choices. 2-doors, and NOT front wheel drive, you have less choices.

Tell me about it, I don't want 4 doors and would prefer not to have FWD...I need to hit the lottery so I wouldn't be in this situation
