agreed, but that mostly isn't honda's fault. people can't see past a badge, or the "only a V6" stupidity. i think it's generally just a misconception. however, honda isn't really helping to convince people otherwise. they need to market their cars a little.. lexus and infiniti produce much more/better/memorable ads than acura, and i think it goes a long way. honda never puts much effort into its marketing, and it's really frustrating.

it's extremely unlikely we'll see any more cylinders before the next gen RL/legend comes out, and offering a stripped down version may help sales a little bit. but only a little...
