So, Camry V6 has 306 hp and 276 ft-lb (fact check???) and Accord has Turbo I-4 with 252 hp and 273 ft-lb. I see how the fight is going to end........

 

LOL, the styling is meh. Sorta looks like a mazda6. Interior is okay, but the gear selector is now electronic push buttons (for auto tranny).

I do like the specs of the new engines. 2.0T is going to be a great seller.

 

I believe its 301hp for the Camry V6. Still good numbers.

Imo, the Camry styling looks better. But the Accord has a few positive amenities (Honda Sense Standard, CarPlay)

 

I think it doesnt look too bad

 

..so to analyze your words..

Too bad means it is BAD but not too bad, correct?

 

I think the interior trim is quite upscale looking, heck makes its own acura brand offerings old and overpriced. The outside is looking like a evolution of that PHEV or hybrid trim of the current accord merged with the rear end of an old kia or hyundai sedan (dont remember the name).

Again the interior is a nice place to be, the exterior is mehh

 

It's about the flat torque curve that is on the latter. In theory, yes, both motors are imbalanced, but imho it's about the torque.

 

Saw the front clip on the new Accord, first thing that popped in my head was space alien from the Star Wars cantina.

 

I really like the looks overall. I'm not thrilled about the front end, but it is better than the Camry. The tablet screen seems to be the new standard. I did not like it in the Mercedes and I don't like it in the Accord, but I accept that this is the new style and I can live with this. I guess Honda had enough problems with the ZF 9 speed auto so their new 10 speed is an in-house design.

I wonder if Honda will continue V-6 production for the Pilot, Ridgeline and Acura products. The next TLX on this platform should be more competitive with the longer wheelbase and more interior room. V-6 turbo anyone?

I think a true Type-S with a V6 turbo would be lovely. And SH-AWD.

 

Accord's overall weight is down 110 to 176 pounds, depending on the trim. Not bad

 

I like the car in theory, manual, 2 liter turbo, ultra high strength steel......Is this supposed to be like that Elantra or BMW GT rear? didn't sonata do the same thing? This feels like when the 2000 Maxima came out.....that the look at the rear was odd. It never did grow on me (2000-2003).....

 

Don't know how Honda messed up the rear end this bad

 

Standard adaptive dampers on all Accords

 

13-16 accord got battery recall. The battery might cause engine fire. Hopefully this one is more solid and reliable.
