An RL coupe for $35k? That's pretty wishful thinking. I don't even think Honda/Acura could get away with a TL coupe for that little.

Then for a "new" RL coupe, shorten the new Legend/RL platform and get to work.
I really miss the last-gen Legend Coupe; with it's long hood and short rear deck, it had perfect lines.

So I'd want the new RL coupe to be RWD with a 6spd manual, with the 3.5L V6 tucked as far back behind the front axle as possible. Keep weight under 3100 lbs and the price around $33-35K.
