C230K sedan or Acura TSX

Ok, I know this topic may have been discussed before at some point, but how do you guys feel about the Acura TSX...I am a fan of Honda/Acura, however, the prestige and RWD of the Benz greatly appeal to me....However, for about 4K less the TSX offers tons, but FWD and no matter what you think It's still a Honda, less prestige....Don't mean to be shallow here guys, but give me your unbiased opinions on this....thanks

Oh BTW..... C230K - 32.5K (est. after taxes, C2, Auto, Bose/Cd changer)

...........TSX Navi - (est. 28K after taxes)

In a recent Motor Trend comparison test, the Mercedes tromped the Acura.....go to MotorTrend.com for the test results.

if a c230 tops a tsx (whatever you call it). Why would I see these TSX cars try to race with me when I drive a c32?

but you don't get the excellent build quality of a MB with that Honda...hahahha...I crack myself up!! kidding - Honda builds an excellent car...they just nee to put a decent sport/wheel package on the accords/civics ! even the tl type S has a lame wheel package-narrow 17" wheels....but supposedly they'll be re-designed for 04...we'll see.
