Semantics. It has two door handles, so I call it a coupe.
Also, if it has the cut roofline like the ZDX, I will not be buying either one. Just like the Infiniti EX35--what is the point if the wagon/CUV has a smaller back seat than the sedan?

More like 2 plus 2 half doors. Anyway...wonder why they are doing the chopped roofline? Just to look different and not go head to head with the Venza? The ZDX with a more traditional roofline would go head to head with the RX350--mid size 5 passenger near lux CUV. Is this just a big exercise in ducking Toyota?

Whats up with RDX owners?

Lets hope the next phase isnt bankruptcy 
I think this will appear to a much broaded audience then the Venza does. This looks more sporty, at least in my opinion.
It is similar to the 5 series GT, yet not many people are complaining about the BMW having no headroom or being a useless hatch. This is just a vehicle that caters to the people who have outgrown the Accord, cant fit in a CRV, dont want a minivan or a brick like truck. Its something different. Its something that gets noticed. And, I think, it is perfectly useful.

I think this whole thing is just a big marketing scam. Make over 9000 versions of the same car, call it a different model instead of a trim line so you get extra reviews in the press and more listings on Edmunds.
Kind of like in the grocery world where there are twenty flavors of Cheerios to take up more shelf space.

I take back my comment about it being nice looking. I know it is still shod in camo, but the rear looks like a 2nd gen Prius on steroids.
And VCM? C'mon!

When will people realize that the best way to increase gas mileage is to monitor the use of the left foot?
VCM robs power and responsiveness for what, a 2mpg gain? Honda really needs to rethink their VCM stategy.

It looks like a built in tow package (on the white one)?
That dash is right out of the Accord, no?
With that person giving perspective it looks like this is a pretty sizable vehicle.

^^ I don't think anyone thought the dash would be much different than the Accord

Most likely what Honda calls a "subwoofer".
Is it just me or does the trunk look kind of small?

they should just call this the Accord 5 dr.
i don't like that the rear window isn't extended further. it will look like there will be a huge blind spot there.
didn't they have a Mazda 6 5 dr before?
