I think it is pretty close to production version, according to comments on jalopnik.

Honda has done a good job of distinguishing the coupe from the sedan.

I want to know if the coupe (pictured) will get the 260 hp V6.

That is a sweet motor, and with Honda's 6 speed MT, will make for some nice performance, probably all for around the $26k price point.

I realize it's front wheel drive, but it would be incredible if Honda would do an awd version eventually.

I think more TL's would've been sold if it was awd too. It's too gorgeous to be a fwd.

Agreed. I think the TL looks a ton better than the G35. If it was AWD it would be a real hot item.

Other than how chunky it's gotten with the last version, the G35, to me, is 2nd best in that segment. 3 series being #1.

Guess the front end is Scion tC like. I'd rather drive the new Accord than the tC though.
