Much better than before, but I still don't see why I should buy the new one. Its basically the same, but heavier.

Agreed.  I think the first-gen TSX was a far better overall car than the current-gen one, even with the facelift.  It's more direct and communicative, no slower, and the competition was a step or two backward in 2004 (both in terms of performance and technology). 
"Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. Those whom nature hath so joined together, let no man put asunder. What unites us is far greater than what divides us." -- John F. Kennedy, addressing Canadian Parliament.

Oddly enough, some aftermarket surgery can make this thing look decent:

It makes it look like the 3rd gen TL, at least from the front. 
Internal combustion thrust I trust

It's a sorry thing to spend $50K on a new car and then have to spend more cash on an aftermarket nose to fix the styling. The beak-nose really needs to go.
