Whats up with the ugly looking Accord ......

Gettting a 240HP and perform as fast as CL-S??????? I saw a magazine that was saying the auto gets to 60 in 6.5sec and the Manual should be close to low 6's ?????? The CL-S should get at least a 280HP so the accord will be one class lower in performance. Honda/Acura are fighting themselves. They remind me with the Maxima, Altima.

I agree with you that it isn't fair that the new Accords will be faster than our Acura TL/CL-S, since we paid more. But the bigger picture, Honda/Acura aren't trying to fight themselves. It just seems that way. Honda is trying to keep up with Nissan and VW. The 3.5 Altima is the 03 Accord most fierce competitor. If Honda doesn't step up, they are going to look the market segment to Nissan. I do think the G20 ppl are pretty pissed that the Altima has a 3.5 L, and it's just the same way with the 03 Accord and our TL/CL-S.

There is more to a car then 0-60 times and power. If you wanted the best value for dollor/HP, then the CL-S isn't the best deal, the Z28 have the lowest dollar/hp. Look at the RL, slow as shit...but ppl still by them, and they don't even have VTEC.

But expect the next TL/CL-S to blow the new accord off the road.

Scrib - LOL

Fast Gold - If you do a search you will find several topics about this. The sedan hasn't received too many thumbs up in the styling department, but the coupe looks like the CL-S at many angles, so most people here this it's at least OK.

What I want to know is how you're CL-S had 224 Rear WHP
