CL-ish





if you ask me i think it resembles a lot of what the cl would be today. i really think they should bring it back. take the honda, add some different front and rear lights, maybe a bit more power and ofcourse luxury and throw back out there.

I think that Honda/Acura would instead make a two door version of a TSX or TL and call it the TSX/TL -coupe. Cut out two doors, slight restyling, more performance oriented handling...done.

From a marketing standpoint, it's easier on consumers since most consumers understand the difference between a sedan and coupe. While different models CL vs TL causes confusion to the greater population.

I love the new Accord V6 Coupes. I've almost convinced my dad to buy one.

i wouldnt call it "CL-ish" persay, not many things out there look like a CL, in fact no car i can think of. As for the accord coupe itself, i'd have to see one in person before i can say if i like it or not

It reminds me a bit of the 350. Honda's Accord sales have been dwindling over the past couple years. This sportier approach to the Accord is, I think, a step in the right direction for Honda. The coupe and the sedan both have a sportier appearance and the V6's come with 268hp 3.5L engines that have an estimated 0-60 of 6.5 sec and a 1/4 in 14.8.
That's pretty impressive for an Accord.

Oh, and supposedly there's no sign of Acura producing a coupe anytime in the next few years.
