Is this going to replace the TL?

Not for replacement... I understand that it's meant to be a happy medium between the RSX and the TL... 4 doors and sporty. I also think it will be closer in price to the RSX. Not 100% sure thoguh.

So thats basically the new Accord?

I think it reminds me of the Mazda 6 styling, at least towards that direction.

Hope it comes here too.

I'm curious why they put in a 200 hp 2.4 I-VTEC instead of the 200 hp 2.0 I-VTEC that they already have? Is it just for more torque?

Chris, who thinks it should have the new Accord V6 engine w/ 240 hp.

I may just have to get one of those.

I've been thinking about trading in for an Accord, but that may be a bit more fun to drive.

I rather have the Mazda 6. It also should come with the 240 V6 motor.

This is the Euro/Jap Accord and America again will not get the R version which features 2L 220PS / 8000rpm, 21.0Kgm / 6000 rpm, MISS: 6MT. Japan also will get a 4WD version of this car.

i like it. i think its geared towards those who cant afford the TL/TL-S.
also i think its a replacement for the 4 dr GSR.
but everyone is right, it needs more HP.
im sure its gonna do some comparison battles w/ the Mazda 6
