Re: Best exterior design [madpistol]

1) Honda Accord EX and Up: I just find the design to be very very attractive...almost stately looking. In pics it looks disjointed but in person the Accord IMO as a presence that can't be matched in this class. I Love the front end treatment. Taillights could use some touching up (LEDs) but otherwise I think its the best. 2) Tie: Chevrolet Malibu 2LT and LTZ and Saturn ... Read More...

I don't think so. The only similarity seems to be sharper inside corners of the headlamps, and that is a contemporary design element seen in a boat load of cars. Is it really that different from, say, what you see in TL, TSX, Civic, or several Japanese Hondas? In fact, it isn't too different from 1990-1993 Accord's headlamp with a contemporary touch. But here is ... Read More...

Hyundai Sonata vs Honda Accord

Re: I still think the Sonata is a better value. [flc2006]

Written by: robertsmx on Sep 14, 2007 09:27 PM

I compared 1998 Accord's I-4 to 2002 (I think) Sonata's V6. And the I-4 was easily the all around winner. The newer V6 in Sonata is better but the drive train isn't up to Honda's standards. Besides, Honda's new I-4 is far more powerful than the old one in my 1998. More fuel efficient too. I think V6 engines are mostly a waste. While driving my TL around with virtually ... Read More...

Re: V6's [meateater]

Speaking of inline engine, do you think that back in the early 1990s, honda should have used their 5cyl technology in the accord instead of that old v6? The hp numbers were about the same (5 had more) but the mpgs were the biggest difference. If not that, honda should make a small v8 as in 3.9-5.0 liters. Its time IMO its time for honda to move on from that 3.5 in those ... Read More...

Gee, that seems to rational, no doesn't it Loren? Here is a completely different perspective (my own) from a 2006 Accord owner. I have a feeling my demographic isn't the norm here, so I'll tell you...I'm a college sophomore, turning 19 in August, and am a Broadcast Journalism major (news-anchor degree, lol). As you could probably guess, I, at age 18, could not ... Read More...

Hey Joe, Which planet Earth do you live on? Not selling them, that's an absolute lie . . . And, Daewoo engines, not quite sir. I think you're thinking of another Korean brand that supplies cars for GM. Remember the Pontiac LeMans, circa 1990? That was also a Daewoo. Hyundais have never used Daewoo engines. Unfortunately, your posts no longer have any credibility, ... Read More...

Their cars back then was somewhat built by a backyard manufacturer who uses hammer and metal scissor to build body parts.
