what's so special about the accord v6?

they're claiming it 'nets 29mpg', but so do all the other players in the segment.

Actually Ward's 10Best has always been listed in alphabetical order of manufacturer names, never a singular "top" winner picked from them.

Doesn't look like alphabetical order to me. Unless you think C comes after F.

As I said it's the manufacturer names not the brand names.

A very subjective list.
I remember the Accord 3.5 was quite harsh revving, and didn't rev as well as the older 3.0 V6's?
Very subjective...
