    First Honda says the next Civic will be smaller and lighter. Now they're bringing a (nearly) unspoiled wagon to the U.S.

    Was someone at Honda visited by three ghosts one night recently, perchance? #acuratsxsportwagon

    Good move. We need more regular wagons. As for the debate about the Honda ribs versus Acura beak front end styling, I think it's a tossup. I'm no fan of the Acura can-opener, but those heavy bright bars in the Honda version aren't very pretty either. #acuratsxsportwagon

    This won't really solve Acura's styling problem, it's about as effective as bringing in Steve Buschemi to give your movie some sex appeal.

    But, like Mr. Buschemi, it'll still be an entertaining addition to the lineup. #acuratsxsportwagon

    In the interest of constantly bitching about stuff even after we get what we've wanted, I'd like to speculate that this thing will be full of unnecessary goodies that can't be opted-out-of, and will probably cost $35k for an NA four-banger, when it should have just been a Honda slotted between the Civic and Accord and started in the high teens.

    @Ash78 ain't got time to bleed: Yeah, the way they price the TSX is laughable for what the car is. It would be really nice if you could get one of these with cloth seats, less-than-Dub-Magazine-approved... wheel sizes, and no navigation b/s, but its not gonna happen. Well, you can always look forward a couple years when they start hitting the used lots.

    @BigHarv: Granted, legit wagon choices are pretty scarce in the States, but I think the CTS is in a different league price and feature wise. But, seeing as how the TSX will have an Acura badge and not a Honda one, I could see how people could conceivably cross-shop them. #acuratsxsportwagon

    There was an old anime series called "You're Under Arrest", and the chief had a NSX w/Police Livery. Makes me wonder if this was the basis of that car.

    Either way, don't we have Mustangs, Camaros, Chargers, and the CAPRICE?

    Sure, but this police cruiser can pull more than .7G on a skidpad (so can the others, but the driver's typically tend to lack proper skill in balancing coffee and doughnuts to pull it off).
