Arrow Possible next gen. TL (pics)

I saw a glimpse of this car (Honda sport concept 4) while watching the speed network which was debuted at the japanese auto show. At first i thought it would be the next CL !!! but after reading the short article in edmunds turns out it might be the next TL with SH-AWD!

If that's it, I'm glad I got a 3rd Gen... the cockpit looks way too much weird.

It's a concept vehicle, so the interior is going to look very futuristic--or weird--while it's in this phase (remember how the RDX concept's interior looked?). If it goes into production phase, they will make it more acceptable by today's standards. I, too, like the exterior of this concept.

I'm almost positive (okay, I hope) the coceptual design will never make it to the States; however if it some how does:

it's too small to be a TL - plus I don't see an LCD

As above, kind of looks like a 350 / G coupe both of which I passed on due to the styling. *If* the interior is remotely as presented that would also turn me off the car. After all, it is a prototype and who knows what the 4G will actually end up looking like. That said, if that IS the 4G then I'm going out right now and buy another 3G and put it in storage until my current 3G drops dead lol!

This is NOT the next TL...instead it is the next TSX or Euro Accord.

I think you must be right. In the edmunds article it says it will be a 2.0L powerplant. Definately not a TL.

Unhappy Not Again!

Why would they put Bridgestones on this car? Haven't they learned their lesson? Ask any 04 TL owner about this and you'll get an earful.

Even if it is closer to being a tsx then a tl. You still get the idea of what the tl will look like. Acura/Honda Styling is similar on those 2. But i think the back is G35 which is cool but the sides and fenders are too bubblely.

This has been posted and locked numerous times in the last couple of months...and I'm sure another one's on the way.

That being said, it's the next TSX/Euro Accord.
