Saw a TSX on I 75 a couple of days ago... seems about the size of a Civic.
See very few of them in my area. Understand the car is based on the
European Accord which is supposed to be smaller than the US version. Also,
quite expensive at around 30k.

Is yours only a 4 cylinder? I have a 2005 LX and it has everything but the
stability control and it now comes standard on all the new (2006-2007) V-6
models

Our TSX is completely comfortable for four adults on a long trip.
Interior space is much larger than it would appear to be from the outside.

Actually selling price is around $26,750 for a fully loaded vehicle
except for the Navigation sytem. The Navi upgrade adds about
$1800-$1900 on top of that.

One of the things I like about it is that you don't see one sitting next
to yourself at every stop light .

The Edmunds price for my area had the TSX with Navi and Auto for 29500.
When you add the usual dealer fees and carpets I should imagine you would
top 30k. Tax would add another 7% in my area. I was interested in the TSX
for a while because I thought it would be a reasonable move from the 5 spd
Prelude I had. But, it was not the Type R Accord sold in in Europe from
what I could see.
