After 5 freaking months of searching for a blue civic with navi and manual transmission i gave up and got a 2009 Acura TSX with Technology Package and Automatic (gives a bit better gas mileage plus has the flappy paddle gearbox).  Color: Vortex Blue with Ebony Interior.

I dont have the car yet, i signed the papers, i pick it up tomorrow morning.

The pictures are below.

http://www.acura.com for people outside the US. Yes it is a Euro Honda Accord.. yes I know.. but its a rare car here in car heaven Los Angeles and it is so NOT a chicken car (bmw 3 series)..

I am loving it... i get it tomorrow.

i take it you got your insurance issues straightened out?. anyhoo grats man, get real pics up, liek you posin with it , or a pretty lady 

 

looks awesome.

I've always loved that car, great choice. Congrats on the new wheels.

Insurance sure got sorted out. My friend stacie was helpful in it, got it for 1500/yr through AAA.. i was like 'waah... are you sure and he sends me a written quote'. He looked at my driving record and said thats my quote.

So i went looking to see who had teh TSX> One dealer called back saying they can get the car .. if i close the deal today they will get the car tomorrow, so i was like so it must be in LA or in So.Cal the car.. so i called another dealer, same deal.. they can get it,

Then i figured I'd try Keyes Acura. Turns out they have the car. So i called them and said i want it.
Effectively I paid 33275 OTD for the car but it came with some already dealer installed accessories and so i negotiated it and got it 33675 OTD. It came with factory Trunk liner and wheel nuts + the mudflaps (i am not too hot about this one but i'll see how it does). In anycase I paid like 100 more than the other dealers quote for OTD (and they didnt know these were already on the car).

So basically I paid 33675 OTD for the car.

I could have negotiated more for the car but oh well.. I still got it 2K under MSRP.

I shall post pictures when I get the car.. its so beautiful..

you know, the bad thing ? if you don't like the color later, or next year's car looks cooler, you'll have absolutely no reason to sell it for what, 10-15 years since it's a honda

ok, acura, whatever, thems the dawgs nuts i say !

the wife's 97 accord wagon has 220,000 miles on it, everything works flawlessly, and we've spent about $600 on timing belt, an oil leak and brakes (TOTAL!) in the last 4 years, and 120,000 miles. awesome cars. love it !

omg that is a freaking nice car

congrats man she is pretty 

that is f%$king sexy... can i lick your car? 

Looks nice!  Where's your pics?

A used TSX with a manual is what I'd really like (I prefer the old style, at least for now).  Problem is, even used I can't (don't want to pay to) afford it.  Stupid high japanese resale!  So I'm considering a RSX as well as the Saturn Astra and Mazda 3.  I just had an offer accepted on a house though, so I'll be soldiering on with my 170k mile Tacoma at least through the winter. 

I approve! 

PURDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those are someone else's pictures. I am YET to take my pictures. I hope to do so today. I live in Southern California.

TGG

Nice choice!! I really like that color even though I have always been partial to black.  I have the 2006 Accord V6 6-speed coupe and I love it. I have had many Hondas and Acuras and have no complaints...I love them!
