Thanks! They did seem to like the feel of the car, I'm hoping to have my turn behind the wheel in the next day or two.

That did seem like a pretty positive review. I hope that the public feels the same way about it ...
I like MotorWeek, I've been watching it for almost 20 years. But I watch it for the technical specs and looks at the cars; their "reviews" are hard to give any weight to as I can't remember a car in 20 years that they weren't positive about.
I thought it was interesting that they thought the rear-end was boring. That's the only part of the new TSX that I find attractive and sporty. The front grill it Saturn-ish, and the giant fender flares are horrendous.

The front grill it Saturn-ish
Oddly enough, several times this weekend, I was driving on one of the main highways, and I did double takes in my rear view mirror everytime a Saturn was in my field of vision... I thought it might be a new TSX on a test drive :rolling_e

Did Acura hire some Saturn designers? They now not only share the chrome bar grille but also the jagged shape headlites:

Its true the back end looks rather generic, kinda resembles a 97 Camry rear, but I like it. Motorweek didn't say anything about the chrome piece on the grille and that is the part I hate about the new TSX along with the Maxima style fender flares. Motorweek usually is positive about their reviews, they often have little gripes like not enough legroom or can't get comfortable. I need to test drive it and hopefully though it will grow on me.

Eh I keep having mixed feelings with the 09 tsx. At certain times I like it, at other times it looks ok. Today I saw my car in the sunlight from a certain angle and it looked perfect in my eyes.
