Stock faster than an IS200T, shame....Nice tunes, wish the IS200T had tunes that good, very cheap power too. LEXUS deserves an award for their 2.0.

One look at the car and I didn't care at all about anything else.

377 lbft with stage 2? That sounds messy. But fun lol.

The new Accord looks great in person, even more so in the darker shades. The LED headlights dress up the nose nicely too.

I wouldn't be caught dead in such an ugly granny butt car. And all that power for a FWD? I didn't read the whole thing, but isn't that a bit overpowering for the front wheels?
The majority of IS buyers don't care about tuning or drag racing. Current set-up is just right for every-day driving. Just needs better mpg's.

Nice to see that Honda has actually under rated their engine. No wonder it is faster than the V-6 was.

But it's slightly less ugly in person apparently. Have yet to see one on the road.

I think they have geared the newer Lexus cars more for fuel economy which is why they feel slower. I drove a 2016 GS350 and was surprised how sluggish it felt, I thought it was the 4 cylinder or they had it in some kind of economy mode but it was in its most aggressive setting, felt more like 270hp in a car that size. My GS430 felt so much quicker, the 2nd Gen IS350's I drove felt so much quicker.

Transplant the LED headlights onto a Lexus and leave the rest. Lexus has some crappy lighting tech, always a few years behind other manufacturers. IN FACT, even the Corolla had better LED lamps.

MPG wont improve. The engine works quite hard to generate power and speed.

At least there's a tune offered for honda, unlike toyota

I agree that the new honda is pretty ugly (last model was great), but if it's any consolation, this takes the cake for the ugly child in the honda family

What in the world is that thing? Is that a real car?
