Default Any '03 COUPE specific road tests...

...especially of the 6x6 (6cyl, 6 speed)?

I've seen lots of magazine tests of the foordoor. But they tend to treat the sedan and coupe as the same car. I'm hoping they're not, at least from a handling standpoint.

BTW, I asked a dealer when I'd be able to test drive a 6x6, and he said I wouldn't. I think they think they'll sell them all sight unseen. We'll see how long that lasts.

Dealers will tell you anything, so they can sell
a car at top dollar.. Or make it seems like a car is in high
demand.. If you look at it overall, most Americans drive
auto cars so the demand the first few months will die down
after all the true 6 speed lovers purchase there car
Just my 2 cents

I agree with you. But it will take a few months to work through the initial demand.

FWIW, there was the entire world of 6cyl autos sitting on the lot.

They're likely doing that because they know there will be a demand for it. Haven't seen a test of the 6-speed V-6 Coupe yet, but I imagine we'll see some closer to the time of it's release date

Proteus,

That was what I was looking for. Thank you.

That was an interesting choice for a comparo, a Honda vs a Mercedes. And, to my reading, the Honda won.

Yep. That's because Honda ownz. :fawk:

Personally, Motor Trend has their head jammed so far up their ass that they couldn't write a comprehensive article even if they tried. The choice for comparing the CLK and the Accord Coupe was stupid...two different class of cars - but impressive the Accord won.
