I would have rather had the TSX.

Not the new one. Maybe an 06-08.

She told me if she couldn't get her color combination, she was going back to Acura. I responded "no you aren't" and laid out all the benefits of what the Jetta offered. Game, set, match.

That is how you sell a car...well done. It's a shame though...the 1st gen TSX was a really nice car. Then Acura just emiggened it and beaked it...and let it die. I would have totally bought a TSX Sportwagen for myself if I could get 3- pedals. But the combo of slow, automatic, and FWD just negated the whole wagon factor for me.

Exactly. And the 5AT is a terrible transmission and completely sucks the fun out of the car. The Jetta Hybrid, by contrast, does everything well and is a very rewarding driver's car.
