Do. I did! Not bashing 9-5s, I happened on a lemon. Traded it for a TSX. Its not as luxurious as the 9-5, but pretty darn nice. AND it has real cup holders!
Maybe because I did have a 9-5, but I just don't see the TSX as a "premium" car. First off, you can get one loaded but without nav for only $26k -- same price as a loaded Accord, Mazda 6 or Altima. Heck its 4-5 grand less than a Maxima! It sits in an odd market. If I had an extra $6-8k I would have looked at a G35, a TL, or a IS250 but that's a whole other class. That's why I bought it. Frankly for that price its a hot deal. It reminds me my old Infiniti G20 -- a bit of luxury, slightly under powered, but fast enough, and corners like a sports car (my performance sway bar doesn't hurt either!).
Oh, and if you like the size of the 9-5, you'll be comfortable in the TSX -- it feels about the same where as the TL felt big and unconnected. My wife's 9-3 now feels tight.
