First of all that thing is ugly. Second, its claimed 0-60 time of 5.8 is well off the pace of the S4, the old M3 and will likely be a full second slower than the new M3.

I can't believe they used the same designation as Audi for their performance car-so typical.

However, I am sure they will price it less than both, even if they lose money, to get market share.

Also, probably no manual transmission, therefore not a real driver's car.

I'll bet the car weighs in under 3300 lbs., so it'll be pretty quick. It's still kind of ugly looking though, and if you're over 6' tall you're out of luck in that car.

Or is it the TL? The Accord is a much larger car than the S4 -- it's closer than A6 sized vehicle.

5.7 might be faster than you driving your S4 but I get 5.5 to 5.3 on a g-tech..

CL is based off of Accord Chassis. I'm sure it can be modified significantly, but it's still super-powered honda accord. Guys please try to keep in mind that the S4 and M3 etc are NOT about 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. They are about HANDLING... and I don't care how fast the CL S type is, I seriously doubt it will be able to hold a candle to fine german suspension engineering.

just my humble opinion,

I meant faster than an automatic S4 or automatic M3, not my manual S4
