I would like it to get a tsx long block as well my si is 5 speed though. so ive got that going for me 🙂 and :tup: on the new wheels. I don’t think they’re awful but they’re not great either. ---

I am interested in maybe getting a CC next and it annoys me the V6 Exec 4Motion doesn’t have DSG, but it has all the other options I want. I loved the DSG VW/Audi’s I have driven. ---

VERY nicely done. I like how the fuel filler door lines match the rear door and hatch lines-it’s a parallelogram Thanks! I really didn’t want to do anything odd ball or trendy - clean and simple. The whole design of the car itself is pretty top notch, more so in person. ---
