Now, if they used the design concept they used on the Accord Coupe, which, I think would have not hurt anything, or lose anyone, but simply keeping in line with new styling. But, I feel they have always taken the more casual, conservative approach. Now, the coupe is a true winner!

Replying to: bvdj84 (Aug 05, 2008 7:06 am) I was all set to get the coupe this week when I decided to check the TL prices for August. I found a dealer in SoCal that will sell a TL for 28,200 or 3,500 under invoice. Its worth a $120 plane ticket and a tank of gas to go to LA from Phoenix to get a new car. I will save $60 a month on a lease payment over buying the TL locally. My lease payment will be the $8 more then a Accord Sedan V6 EXL or $40 less then a V6 Coupe. |

Replying to: thegraduate (Aug 04, 2008 7:03 pm) I have to agree if we're talking exclusively about the sedan. I think the new Accord sedan looks somehow disproportionate and alien. Bulging headlights, huge grill, small taillights and the list goes on. To me it almost seems like they went back to gen vi and tried to beef it up, rather than going with a whole new design. I know it's sort of a stretch to see it that way, but I do. Now the coupe on the other hand looks like a car that I would drive. However, I will have to say that I prefer the taillights of the sedan over the coupe. Give me a coupe with the taillights of the sedan and I would be happy. The taillights on the coupe remind me too much of the Kia Spectra, blech. Anyway. I would only buy a new Taurus. My mom got burned twice with Taurus/Sables. Both were 94 models and both blew their head-gaskets. The first one blew the head-gasket two months before they were recalled, but my mom couldn't afford to fix it and couldn't wait that long. Bad luck I guess. |

Replying to: kingpcgeek (Aug 05, 2008 1:35 pm) I also don't need a V6. I have a 4 cylinder Accord, gen vii and it is more than adequate for me. |

Just a word to the wise, the Taurus may be a better value for the money, but Ford did skimp on several things. The Interior quality on the Accord is much much better, the drive is sportier, and if you like your cars having a little "growl" to their exhaust note, you're going to hate the new Taurus... it almost sounds like a 3.0L 4-cyl. It's sad that Ford didn't do more with their exhaust. The Fusion 3.0L V6 IMO sounds far better than the Taurus's 3.5L V6. That's subjective though. If you don't care how your car sounds, I guess it doesn't make much of a difference.
