Oops, "v4" was definitely a typo. I knew there is no such thing as a "v4" engine. Now, you could say V2 engines do exist. (Motocycles? When there are only 2 cylinders, you could say it's inline or a V, eh? :P)

Yeah, I agree that the 8th generation was a big step back. What were they thinking... Maybe the accord designers were moved to Acura for that generation, because I love the current TL.

However, 9th generation may wow us all. I hope. The new camry was kind of a dud for me. With huyndai and Nissan going agressive on the design front, Toyota and Honda really need to do better.

Oh and I'm actually a fan of the huge "beak" chrome grills on the current Acura lineup. However, I'm apparently part of the minority since they've reduced the size of the grill...

There's V-4 engine, just not in Honda cars. Harleys aren't in-line, because they aren't lined up in the direction of the crankshaft.

And I'm not a fan of the big chrome beak. Sorry.
