The only negative: If this car could be a rear wheel drive or if they offered AWD on this platform. It would really give everyone sleepless nights. It will be interesting to see with all the extra power if the car still has some torque steer, or have they reduced it.

Such a vehicle (RWD/AWD) accord would be just about perfect.

Hi Kanav, I really do not understand your post. They give us a car loaded with technology and comfort that rivals cars that are much more expensive and all you can sumon is "cheap" and  "pathetic".

For instance 20% increase in torsional stiffness of the body is not an easy task. By Creating a plain floor by incorporating structure inside the vehicle they have  make it more aerodynamic.

This shows cleverness beyond the usual. This is no minor upgrade with added fog lamps or changed headlamps or minor facelift to fool the consumer. This is the real deal. A breakthrough in this segment. Time will show that this will be the new benchmark.

To compare this to elantra is akin to say that some cheesy pop song is what Mozart lifted to create his 40th symphony in G - Minor!!!!!Basically completely misses the point.

well if every accord buyer was as technical as u kk den im sure d car would sell like hot cakes ..fact of d matter is if d average non automotive engineer customer comes in to buy d car well he wouldnt actually care about d aerodynamics or drag coefficient for that matter ..not in india atleast ..

i am not against the car ..its a superb car ..my only point is that honda just could not deliver the same wow like they did with their previous accord which looks more upmarket ..and an optional xenon lights would make the car look better ...

well maybe i shudnt have used the term, pathetic .ill admit i got carried away ...but somehow i feel d design team of honda was takin a nap in 2008 lookin at d 2008 civic and accord
