Although it would be a good step up from the CL9, one must question why would you?
With the Euro being priced about $6k dearer than the Accord equivalent, pricing would be $46k for base V6, $55k for Lux, $58k for Lux Navi! :eek:
Aurion's can be had for $31k drive away.

we'll just have to wait to see the pricing. if it is really priced around the $50k mark, then no. it is not worth that much.

Yeah, it's only a rough guess based on the current Euro vs Accord pricing.

Nothing wrong with Toyota.
But is a euro worth over $50k? Hell no!

I asked HA the question yesterday and got the following reply today which doesn't say 'no' we won't get it but rather we're not going to tell when it might be released in OZ:

Settle, I paid over $50k for mine.

Still $10k less than the Liberty or Calais V I was considering.

Hmmmmm. I just read my post again and I'm beginning to think that the V6 might be coming to OZ possibly not long after it goes on sale in the USA in the middle of this year: The message from HA starts with "the new Honda model". Given that the TSX V6 is an Acura model, there must be a Honda version of the V6. They also said "until the launch day."; indicating that there will be a launch day. And they also also (sorry for the Americanism) said that "Information will become available" meaning that they'll have something to announce other than it's not coming; as if it is not coming then they would not even bother mentioning it and most Honda old-fart buyers (which, like me, are the majority who buy Honda cars) would not know any better.
