I'm not sure exactly why this is, but apparently a lot of people around the world prefer it to the more crusier-like S. The same goes for BMW....7-series sales I'm sure are well eclipsed by the 5, and even further by the 3.

Not that the cheaper models are larger volume sellers. I think you got the wrong end of the stick some where along the lines.
The 2004 RL is Honda's most embarrising effort.

I saw this car at the NY Car Show. The pics make it look somewhat bland, but take my word for it, in person it has a very sporty and aggressive look, much moreso than just about anything in it's class. Keep in mind this is a full sized luxury car, the F&F look does not sell well to that crowd, so styling will always err on the side of conservative.

i like it. I was hoping it would be RWD, but AWD with the SH system is MUCH better.
The SH system is like an active LSD. It's an AWD version of what was on the Prelude SH.

This car should go toe to toe with the new V6 A6 in price tho it'll be closer to the V8 A6 in power.

I'm a little worried about the Bangley trunklid myself,
but other than that I love it! It would look really nice next to the HSC in my dream garage
