I agree... they need to offer a large, RWD, V8 sedan in order to compete with LS, S-Class, etc. I too have always loved Hondas, but that ended with the "light" redesign of the '05 Accord. I like the 03-04 Accord taillights/wheels better than the 05-07 models, then I have no use at all for the current Accord. It has never inspired me.
BTW, it's actually the '06 and '07 Accords that have the different look-- '05 is the same as '03 and '04. And to each their own... I find the '03-05 models ugly. The front grill on the '03-'05 is terrible looking. And the car has a fat, bloated look from the rear. The '06 and '07 models look way better to my eyes. No wonder why you see 3-4 times as many '06 and '07 models on the road, even though they were only made for 2 model years as opposed to 3 model years of the '03-05. Sleeker all around. Full disclosure, I own an '07 Accord.
On the RL, I like the look of the '96-04 model better than the current model. I guess I prefer cars that have a boxier, more rigid shape as opposed to the curvier look.
I like the TSX a lot-- and see quite a few TSX's on the road. Shame that this is the final model year of that car. Personally, I think Honda/Acura are a bunch of idiots. Every time they come out with a car that people actually like, they discontinue it.

Full disclosure, I drive an '08 Accord, and yes I do like the look of the '06-07 better than '03-05. I like the '11-12 look the best, then the '08-10, then '06-07, then '86-89, then '03-05. All great looking cars. Accords will take care of you.
The Acura RLX came out yesterday (March 15, 2013). I got to ride in one at 6:12 pm on launch day. I have to say it is a very well finished, smooth riding car, and is a proper flagship for Acura. I've been in Audis, Benzes, and Bimmers and this has them beat. I wish the best for the RLX. It's an amazing car.
