I really dont care how it looks. To me, whats under the hood will make it or break it. Lets see how the Earth Dream platform works out...

LOL at all those camos they put on...like they feel the need to protect the stolen design that they boot-leg from other brands.

Interested to see how the final product turns out. Honda has been disappointing as of late.

Most people forgot back in 1996 when they dropped legend for RL. The RLX is going to flop again they could name it "pleasebuyusfor50%off" and it still would flop.

Whats crazy is the RLX test mule looks identical. They don't learn!!!



The Accord is going to sell no matter what. Its clear with the craptastic Civic people will snap up Honda's if the incentives go up and overlook the better competition. So no sense even arguing about the Accord its going to sell.

That's precisely what keeps Honda in business these days.

I see people are slowly starting to realize that these new Honda's just weren't built like the old ones though!

Honda can't hold onto their past record forever..

RLX isn't too bad looking, but lets wait to see if Honda will screw this up again..

True. The only thing I am looking forward to is new "Jewel-blah-blah" LED headlight design. If it remains the same as on the concept it will be the most beautiful headlight cluster on the market (makes Audi LEDs look like a overdone gimmick).

I really don't mind the exterior look of the car if interior was up to par and conteporary but it is not. It's same Acura interior design that's been around for almost a decade.

correct me if i'm wrong, didn't Acura use the RLX on the rebranded Isuzu Trooper suv of the 90s? maybe something else but RLX does sound familiar.
