Damn, very good point. I never thought of it that way, but you're kinda right. So the TSX(comfort), RSX(sportiness), and Accord Coupe (all around) all replace the Lude in their own ways. Very interesting. Except, of course, the Lude was never 4 doors. But hopefully the TSX will be just as sporty and fun as the Lude...it's almost as good looking.
