Acura's entry-level model used to be the sportiest front-wheel-drive car on the road, but the times and demographic data have changed. The 2008 TSX features a lot of flash, but no fury. It's a shame, too, since the 205-horsepower i-VTEC engine and smooth double-wishbone suspension could have made a 2008 Integra a lot of fun.
What the Acura gives up in thrills it makes up for in handy technology. The dashboard looks like a grand operating panel with buttons, knobs and dials to communicate with global positioning satellites, your iPod, cellular phone or BlackBerry.
The Acura has a more polarizing look than something like Audi's A5, but it's not without its own appeal. Interior amenities feel as familiar as they do in every other Honda product.
