on the bright side, the next version of the RL that they put out will have to be better...

God that's ugly. It seems like Honda puts in so much more effort into redesigning their economy cars, like the Civic and Accord.

The last good looking Accord was a few generations ago. The new one is just a mishmash of lines, curves and themes taking from other cars resulting in a very disjointed design.

I disagree.. I think every accord coupe made is sexy.. Especially the new ones. The only sedan accords I dislike are the current gen and the 98-02 accords.

Sad day when I think the flagship of Hyundai kicks the flagship of Acura in about every imaginable measure.

I think the current RL was a pretty hott looking car, especially from the rear. I think this RL from some show looks hott, I kinda like the big grill, kinda dont but I will still drive this
