well AP, you could say that, but then you'd be speaking of a mass unit 400k a year car. If they made it look like the CTS it would easily lose a third of those sales. The CTS is love it or hate it. In 15 years it'll look like shit, whether you like it or not now. Think a TL is gonna look like shit in 15 years? I think not. Honda doesn't need to do anything drastic, they have success. If GM has to sell on style, so be it. Nothing else about the car is attractive to me.
That has always been the key to Honda's success. They don't take many liberal chances on styling, and while it doesn't create emotional passion initially, the bottom line is their cars rarely look outdated. I think a 1986 Accord still looks pretty good, with the flip up headlights and all. How many 1986 Buick Regals and Pontiac Grand Prix's still look modern?
