definitely not feeling it.

i like the previous gen the best.

this is just a more expensive accord. they share the same sheetmetal and dimensions (it seems). so much for engineering innovation and attracting new clientele.

X2. It's like Honda didn't even spend the time to draw a new one. What happened to Honda wanting to compete with Lexus/Infiniti/BMW etc? Where is the V8 or V10?

This RL looks like it could hardly hold a candle to the Nissan Maxima.

This car has never been popular. But I don't think Honda really cares.

But.... It has <u>always</u> just been a 300 HP AWD Accord, you know.

Lots of technology, but still just a 300 HP AWD Accord.

I liked the previous generation RL/Legend, in a nonconformist kind of way. Waiting for this one to grow on me.
