Acura should have put sidemarkers on the TL's. I think they look nice.

Thanks for the post, that was awesome! It's cool to see the artist's concepts of the car you drive!

Mr Hyde

Whew, I'm glad everyone is enjoying this thread, I thought it might have been a repost.

The Fact Book contains more information. I just extracted the bits that seemed interesting.

Don't ask me, ask Google for their translated interpretation. I just found it ironic that the airbags provide safety for both driver and 'suicidal' passenger.

Yea, I never knew we are all cruising around in 'boats'.

The concept sketch looks alot like a 4-door CL sedan. (maybe even a certain MB CLS one from the side)

oh so basically the saber is the 99-01 version and the inspire is the 02-03 version.

Grills are different (as well as exterior badging). Some interior options are different. Can't tell you exactly what but they are.

Honda of Japan has 2 distribution arms. One sells the Inspire; the other sells the Saber. One is more 'sporty' (Saber); the other is more 'luxury' (Inspire).

weird huh, now real question is where can i get those black honda H emblems, been lookin all over online.
