Hondas are not pretty cars, they are functional. Even the S2000 looks decorated, not styled. They build great engines but until they drop the FWD platforms (s2000 excluded) I wouldn't consider one. The other thing that Hondas lack are a soul. I have driven many of them and I have yet to feel anything.

Back to the CL. I haven't driven it but I am sure it would be too soft for my tastes, and without a manual...forget it. This car will compete more with a Toyota Solara, Chrysler Sebring, et al. These are luxury tourers, not sport coupes, meant for mass markets, not gearheads.
