@bmoreDLJ: if three ghost did visit honda, im glad they did cuz this is my next car purchase. i like the way it looks with the "tooth" grille #acuratsxsportwagon
@bmoreDLJ: Now if only those 3 ghosts paid a visit to someone else (Nissan who could revive the 240SX/Sylvia, Mazda a new RX-7 and to bring back the 6 wagon, Chevy for a 4-door RWD sedan, Mitsubishi for an Eclipse back to its roots, Mercury for a new Cougar) #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
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
@Muscles Marinara: Yeah, you're right; a CTS wagon is 10k more than a base TSX. More like competition for the A4, 3 series and V50. #acuratsxsportwagon
@Battles: The wagons that I just saw all over Germany are not small by any stretch. They're like short SUV's that handle and perform well. What a concept! I still wouldn't want to try to park one of those on many European streets that I encountered. #acuratsxsportwagon
@Maxichamp: How come the biggest people drive the smallest cars? I mean, my mom is 100% Dutch, 6 feet tall, and buys the tiniest cars. Then she complains about how hard it is to get out of them.
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).

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

@tonyola: Here's a quick-and-dirty idea for a new grille for the Honda version. #acuratsxsportwagon

Which, to be fair, happens to be the single ugliest grille of all-time. #acuratsxsportwagon

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

@BЯдΖǐL-ЯЄРΘЯΤЄЯ: since the sixties the Porsche Targa is a well known police car on the Dutch highways.
