It's nice to hear you're very happy with it, but there's nothing else you'd change? Maybe a more modern engine (DI, higher compression, forced induction?), mechanical linkages, AWD, a hybrid system that boosts low-end torque and economy, maybe some all electric range? Shed some weight with redundant features or aluminum/carbon panels? Stiffer body to reduce roll? Maybe a different suspension geometry (not macphereson), or something like they've done in the new Type R to eliminate torque steer? Perhaps have the rear as a hatch instead, so you can fold down the seats and sleep in it or move furniture?

Admittedly I've never driven a TSX.
