I agree, but I think you are wrong about the aftermarket. At least that is my guess. Since the new RL now uses the J series engine minor modifications and tuning will need to be done to adapt the Accord/TL/CL performance parts. The only thing the old Legend and RL were really missing were bolt on FI kits and headers. These are all parts offered on the other J series equiped cars. I'm holding out hope that Japan tuning companies are/will recieve the new Legend/RL with open arms and develop some nice aftermarket parts. I'm hoping the aftermarket will even come out with some sort of SH-AWD controller similar to what they have for OEM air suspensions. Anyway, another magazine (I don't know which one as it was just posted by someone else) got a 0-60 of 15.0 for the new RL so I'm willing to bet that once broken in the car will be a high 14 second car which is great.
