That is a sweet car.  Good compact size with the fun to drive factor high on the list.  Looks sweet, great interior, and handling to smile about.  It's a fantastic car Julie, enjoy the new wheels.

A great color combination Julie.  It looks very classy with the beige interior.

Thanks Mdx5 and Loudpedal.

That's why I finally decided against the spoiler. Kinda didn't go with that "classy" look, IMO....

There's one on Acura site with same color combo and spoiler. But I think that only looks good because it also has a full OEM skirt kit. (It's a A-SPEC)

Yup, Civic's gone.

I've officially entered into one of the "finalist" positions of the CTC membership for trading their cars in the shortest amount of time after getting them. (I think shortest is 1, then 2, months.

Not happy about that, but feel absolutely certain this was the right decision.

*This* (and nothing more) is my dream car. When I found out this was only 1 of 2 left in Ontario (this is the last year of that color combo), I decided to act now, or forever regret it.

Never, never look back, Julie. You did what was right for you right now. No comparison - a Civic to a TSX anyway.  ;)

Looks great, Julie.  I'm a little jealous - you've got a great car, with a great colour, a great drivetrain, and - well, you know the rest.  :D

I am curious: what's that wire making its way up the dash?  I thought radar detectors were illegal in Ontario...  ;)

Since Julie said she had a Garmin Nuvi 660, I would guess that is what it is?

Congrats again Julie, you have good taste ;)

Sorry I'm late for the party again!
What a great looking car with the colour!
You will never regret your decision with the car.
TSX can't be wrong in any way including style, quality, driving performance, feeling, etc, etc, etc,.....
Congratulations!

Julie, congratulations for getting the car you love. Excellent Choice.

Revealing the car is a fun touch. I like the colour combo, best of all the Car.  :thumbup: :fiver:

Sweet ride.  I really like the TSX...it is one sharp looking (and performing) car.

I'm guessing it's the power cord for her GPS unit.

Sweet potatoes!  Where the heck have I been!?  I saw the thread about you looking at various things... then the next thing I know... blammo!  here are the pics!  Outstanding!!! 

The TSX is one of those cars that you simply can't fault a person for buying.  Sporty enough to be fun.  Economical enough to be practical.  Small enough to be nimble and easy to park.  Big enough to be comfortable.  Reliable enough to last for years of driving enjoyment.  Outstanding choice overall, Julie. 

Like BJB said, I especially loved the line about how you felt when the car was unveiled.  And, like BJB, when it's my 911 being unveiled some day, I expect to shed a tear of delight and disbelief.  :) 

Congrats!

Are we still on for who gets one first?  I'd be crying when my 911 ship comes in.

Its a 3 way race, BJB the lawyer, GD the marketeer, MDx5 the consultant.

Bets are on.
