TSX will be right around 25k fully loaded without the 1k navigation system... and it's a sedan. The 6 Speed COUPE ONLY Accord is almost 30k... TSX *might* even have as much as 220 hp on a K series (4 cyl.) engine... not to mention the possible RWD, and the fact that it is supposed to be a "sporty" car!!! Whatever floats your boat tho.

It's not going to be RWD. You can't just make a car RWD if the current is FWD. There's a lot of changes that need to be made, and in some cases it's plain impossible. Engines are positioned in the bay according to what the drive wheels are, and most engine blocks are only made for a particular set of drive wheels.

As for the TSX being sporty, hell yes. Much sportier than the Accord, I'll say. The body is supposedly very rigid and the suspension tight. And the K24 will be fun I'm sure.

I think the Mazda 6 and TSX share many similarities. Of course I would give a hand (and wrist and forearm) up on the TSX.
