Apparently it needs to be 12...

OK.....I was just comparing the new 2023 Accord to the old. But, if you consider that off-topic, then fine...I won't post any more on that subject.

The mod hammer drops for every little thing it seems. At some point this site will have more mods than actual people posting if this keeps up. Yes yes I'll exit the thread cuz you mods are offended.

I agree sometimes it can be overkill, but every thread about a new car gets dragged down into a battle about that same car from 30 years ago from the same posters and it gets tiresome. If someone wants to talk about a 30 year old Accord, by all means start a thread on it...

My wife's company car is the current gen Accord Hybrid. I like it. 600 miles of range that can be replenished in less than 5 minutes. Powered by the electric motors almost all the time. No transmission. Very peppy off the line. Her's is loaded, so it's very comfortable and rides really nice. Great car for the money.

i think the 2.0T was a very potent engine, pretty decent for what is was. i have not experienced the new 1.5T but i bet it's not a complete slouch.
the standard of what is fast/quick keeps changing so if you compare the accord to it's natural rivals (not many) yes it might be sluggish.

for the target buyer, i think the accord will still be just fine but all ICE/sedan's days are numbered. the hybrid will stretch it just a bit.

Saw the new Accord today and its truly hideous car. Honda purposely designed it so nobody would buy it and they can justify getting rid of sedans.

Btw they had a few Accord Sport models from previous generation which look so much nicer and at $30k msrp are a solid deal for what you get.

What's hideous about it?

IMHO, it beats some of the styling we've seen on recent Toyota sedans.

Since when have Toyota sedans been well designed.

Accords for the previous several gens have been fairly good looking cars.
The new one looks to be designed by AI

You know the overhangs are 80's Cadillac long when you can see the length from quarter view angles. This thing is awful.

My last hope was it looked better in person, but sadly it does not. Even worse in person. A true frump-fest, several generations backwards, with the outgoing model looking far more dynamic. I honestly don't think Honda did this on purpose. The new HR-V is also frumpy. They have the skills to produce huge misses. It's just odd the Civic turned out so sharp and lithe compared to everything else.
