No problem...
But did you just say the Accord has the same power as the RL, and they are based on one another? The RL chassis I believe is one of its own. Also, power wise, the new TL-S is the 3.5L RL motor. I own a 7th generation Accord Coupe, and I look at this interior versus mine, and all I can say it is a huge improvement! I want to see this thing dropped!

Correct. My one little pet peeve if you will is that the Honda Global Platform is not called the "Accord" Global Platform. It was a chassis designed to be ultra flexible so the engineers could easily modify it to fit whatever needs. The Accord simply was the very first car to use the Honda Global Platform. That said, being that the RL chassis is all aluminum, even if it is off the same global platform as the Accord, to think of them as anywhere near being the same chassis is a bit of a stretch IMHO. For me, all this chassis sharing is okay. As long is the chassis works its all good. I personally rather see every one do it to save manufacturing costs and then pass those savings on to the customer, or add more standard options into the car itself.

The interior is a big hit and miss after seeing those clear pics. While I like the interior mostly, I hate the styling lines of the dash. If the dash was styled differently, IMO that interior would have been best-in-class no question.
