I think it's because the wheels are located directly underneath the C pillar, creating the illusion of a great amount of space between the wheel and the top of the car. But maybe I'm wrong.

That tends to happen when you put BLACK PLASTIC OVER THE FRONT AND BACK TO CAMOFLAGE A CAR :slap: :slap: We're judging body shape and how good the car looks handling, not how nice the camo looks.

From what I can see, I like the overall shape. It reminds me a lot of the Maxima, but not as ugly.

Dear Honda,

Please make us a V8, dagnabbit! Especially for the NSX, but you can put it in the Legend if you like...

Thank you.

Damn that does look like an Altima/Maxima..the shape that is. I'm sure that the final thing will look good, but I doubt that it will be a head turner.

I hope Chris is right and Honda is moving in the "Drive me, love me!" direction. If this is infact the next Legend/RL I think it is going to be spectacular. Just the lengths Honda is going to hide this has got to say something. Also the fact that shots of the next TL does not have AWD may indicate that Honda is waiting to introduce it on the Legend/RL first before making it an option for the TL.

Lets hope so
