1. As we all know, improved VCM for all v6 models, improved because teh engine can now switch from 6 cylinder to 4 cylinder to 3 cylinder, 3 different modes.

2. Two different 4 cylinder engines and two different v6 engines
4 cylinder model: 2.4 L, IVTEC 177 HP and a 190 HP engine
6 Cylinder model: 3.5 L SOHC IVTEC 268 HP one with and without VCM; later engine for coupes.

3. VSA, Active head restraint, 4 wheel disc brakes with EBD, Dual Chamber side airbags, TPMS, ACE Body Structure, ABS, DRL standard on all models.

4. No more DX or VP model, there are two different LX models, LX and LX-P, LX-P adds Driver side 8 way pw seats, 16" alloy wheels, Chrome exhaust finisher, security system, illuminated pw win switches.

5. Navigation is exactly like the Acura Rl, bluetooth is standard on Navigation Models, No more touch screen, nav screen placed higher up, a la 5 series with a toggle. 700 voice commands, really nice..


We drive them on the 21st, I am bringing my camera and will try and get pics

The coupe does have nice lines to it. The stock wheels they put on for their web site suck "the bawls" though. And look at the huge as gap between the wheel well and the tire. Who the hell does their advertising?
