Does your message mean there will be a Type S on top of this?

Sounds pretty cool actually but don't know how this compares with a V6 Accord Coupe in performance or trim.

Who are thier competitors for this product?

Seems like a strange car for Honda with the higher output / lower torque 4cyl. engine.

Is the interior the same as Japan & Euro Accord? Any Type S coming in the future?

I'm sure it's a great car but I really don't understand the marketing logic behind it.
Honda/Acura needs yet another near-luxury sedan like it needs another hole in the head.
I hope they spent at least as much on developing the next NSX. P.S. move to off-topic, Lud?
