City mpg is very low 20s, typically. Hwy mpg is high 20s, or slightly worse than the "standard" Accord. These are "real" figures, not EPA.

in their defense, they basically took an MDX and threw a sleeker body onto it... it wasn't much interms of R&D

If anything what boils my blood is that they decided to build that and have it take on their need for a "coupe"

Its not a f'ing coupe!

How hard would it have been to shorten the TL, put a dcent looking body on it and leave the SHAWD 6SPD 300HP power plant...

I can't imagine it would have been much more difficult than the ZDX project was, and they could have charged the same 50k for it that they charge for the ZDX and as long as it was good looking (that is, no TL beak) it would probably have been a sales hitt.

What happened to Honda since they rolled out our beautiful S2000? Almost all of the subsequent products (including Acura) look Aztek-ugly. I think Miss Swan (Mad TV) has been the chief designer for Honda and Acura.

That is the only logical explanation.

I dunno about that I mean the 4th gen TL, the current gen accord coupe, last gen pilot wasn't bad looking, current cr-v is actually pretty sharp for what it is, as is the current MDX IMO the only acura that pulls off the beak correctly... they've had a few hits... but yea majorty have been major failures..
