Haha TSX... the good looking Accord that HAS performance... No offence to Honda's, but the new Accord is the least sporty car I have test driven yet... but yes I know they are going for luxury now... I would much rather have MY car than a 2003 Accord... not considering the actual cost of the car of course!

only mazda that would go in my garage would be a rex, other than that no thanks. I already picked my replacement just waiting for them to sell at msrp or under, g35 6 speed right now you can't touch one for under $3K over msrp.. not happening. I guess if I had to chose between. I'd drive a dodge srt-4 before a mazda, or a wrx long before a mazda. I guess for the low $20K the 6 is ok, but chosing between an accord v6 and a mazda 6s, hmmmmm.. accord even if it is slightly more.

Your guess is as good as mine. The Accord and Civic have had AWD in Japan for 10+ years now, and the TSX can handle FWD, AWD, and apparently RWD with little modification. I sure hope they'll make AWD at least optional, as it will probably go head to head with the Audi A4 1.8T Quattro. We'll know in a few weeks when they debut it at NAIAS.
