The TL, while still a great selling car, is showing its age. Time for a new makeover!

Accord sales for this month is lower than the camry, but I'm going to guess dealer incentive might have something to do with this. They just wont budge on the price!

On average, about 1,000 Accord and 1,000 camry roll off the lot EACH DAY. Where the heck do we find space on the road for these cars
