Yeh, probably idk, theres rumors of the SH-AWD being an option but who knows.. I personally think midsize moderately priced sedans like the Accord / Camry are better in 4cyl form anyway.. If someone wanted the 6cyl. might as well just pay a little more and get an entry level luxury car like the ES350 or TL IMHO.

I think this horsepower war is gettin out of hand. I think 250 hp is enough for most "families". Soon we'll have 300hp minivans.

oh great... Then the RL will get a V8 then? haha. Yeah, this hp war is getting out of hand. It's to compensate for our heavier and heavier cars. Yeah, I know we're all getting paranoid with 10 airbags and stuff but seriously, whatever happened to making a good body shell?
Remember how car companies used to strengthen the side with impact bars and such to gain good ratings? Now they're just relying on airbags to get the stars. How do I know? Well just look at the ratings for those cars with side airbags as an option (or standard on the higher model). The non-airbag equipped model always seems to suffer. Why isn't the side impact protection good to begin?

It does indeed look a lot like the RL. Good news for the Accord, horrible for the RL. Honda needs to redesign the RL ASAP, and make a proper RWD architecture for it, or at the very least beef up the SH-AWD system and add a V8 to it.
