The new CL, errr... new Accord Coupe

This thing has a 3.5 liter and the same HP as our car but since a new CL isn't available how many people will be jumping ship to this? I admit I'm interested in checking it out when it shows up.

It looks kind of like a Chevy and a Scion Tc in the front I think:

It actually has MORE power because of the re-defined horsepower rating from when the CL was in production. This new Accord has 268 hp on the new system. The CL Type S had 260 on the old system. Of course, then there's the extra torque from the extra 0.3 liters!

I'd prefer the handles to be painted the same color as the car, and not chrome. The design isn't bad I guess, I just don't really like it yet.
