RSXTypeS the new accord V-6 cuupe is going to have a HLSD.

I think the CL is done. The TL-S will get an optional 6 speed.
Maybe a couple years down the road Honda will build a CL that will blow away Nissan (G35), although that will be a tough task.

As for the prelude, I think that if the Z sells as good as expected and Toyota brings a return of the Supra, which also sells good, you will see a 6th gen Lude take a jump in performance and price segment to compete with these cars. Probably will have leather, 6speed manual w/ lsd, V-6 dohc vtec, RWD, and cost about $28-$35,000.

The new Z starts at $27k and goes up to $37k; I'm sure the Supra will follow traditional Toyota fashion and be priced at $32k to $40k, way above the competition.

Maybe I'm dreaming of my next new car, but I think it is feasible, the Japanese muscle cars are going to be back.
