But the honda will probably smoke it at the drag strip, heres to hoping that the RL will cost less.

 

The honda v6 WILL badly smoke a 225 hp 3.5 with 4T45 . The 3.5 would be such a better feeling package with a 6 speed . The 4T45 may be a good trans , but not exactly great at staying in the powerband due to the gearspread . Good thing the 3.5 is the base engine .

WOW , they did a FANTASTIC job on the interior . Very Cool

The exterior Im mixed on . The one thing it lost , that I personally think took alot sporting character away is the rake on the sideglass . Look at the side by of the concept and the production sitting at the exact same angle . Look at how leveled off the rake at the lower portion of the side glass got from front to back . Funny how one little angle can change the entire personality isnt it ? ....because otherwise , everything else looks like as is on the concept . Also wrong choice on the wheels , WAY TO 4 door chrysler sebring looking .

Despite that , I like this car alot . They should have no prob selling them .

 

And 99% of the population could care less about this.

Hell, I could care less. I don't buy this type of car to drag anyhow. Why waste my time when I have an 11s Camaro built for speed?

 

I was actually comparing the RL(redline) to the accord V-6. I think the honda V-6 will outgun the 3.9L.

And 383 are you saying that acceleration doesnt help sell cars??? So a RL customer wouldn't care if the $5,000 extra they payed for a RL was just as fast as the base aura? People do care, I see it every day in rush hour traffic.

 

Look around at Opel websites...

You'll see that the base model Vectra has the same front end as the pictured Aura.



I would assume the Aura Red Line will have the better looking front.
