Now you just have to wait till the technology trickles down to the rest of the lineup.

But without a coupe in the lineup, who cares ??

And before someone says that the RSX is a coupe, it's a hatchback IMHO.

The Accord coupe isn't too bad, but I still like the last gen accord coupe styling better then the current one.

I wasn't a huge fan of the 6th gens rear with its triangle brake lights and long reflectors that go the whole width of the trunk. However, like you, i still prefer it over the look of the rear on the 7th gens.

None in my price range anyway.

I wish I had the money to blow on an NSX.

I wouldn't mind an S2000 myself.

Don't even try that Junior.

I can't deny they do resemble each other however with the plate in the middle of rear on Accord it makes it look much worse. Also out tails especially the 03's look way better then the smaller Accord.

Also it may just be an illusion but the rear on the Accord looks smaller then ours. Maybe its just me but i have to give the nod to the CL as far as rear looks go.

The 2003 Accord taillights are what kills it for me. I really like the white over red on the CLS.

I'm sure that when the Accord gets a minor facelift in a couple of years (honda's 5 year plan), that it'll look better.

The striped tail lights just don't do it for me:
