I mean...look at the price these days...

I was looking at a fully load 4 cylinder EX and did you notice that it is roughly the same price as the lowest end Toyota Avalon...and the Avalon is much nicer..and has pretty much most of the Accord standard features. I mean come on...a Fully loaded EX 6 banger is roughly 2-3 k less than a TL, so why not spend the extra money on a TL....
