There is no such thing as a $25k Accord V6 anymore...more like $30k, especially since this is a new model this year and there wont be any discounts...

The 9-5 is overpriced if you actually pay sticker...there are some FAT discounts on it, making it much cheaper than TL. Wait till the last week in December for the best deals. $10k off MSRP isnt unheard of that time of year.

The TL is nice, but the "270hp" engine is weak (come on, 230 ft*lb torque?)

I really really like the G35 in the looks department, and the VQ35 engine is superb...but it IS overpriced, and the 9-5 still keeps up with it in the performance department eventhough it has 40hp less (on the G35) and a manual 9-5 will keep up with the 330hp G37 in a straight line run...

9-5 is clunky when compared to modern cars, but is a good value...and what of these other cars can tow 3500lbs? none except 9-5.

Which would I buy? none. I would buy a Viggen ;)
