Actually I've seen both Accord types in person and don't like either. Why is it that Honda can make Acura look good but can't help the Accord.
Looks are subjective. I think the new Accords look nicer than the last gen and will sell very well and better.

Why is it that most men drool over Pamela Anderson while I see her as an ugly, disgusting, nasty pig? Looks are subjective!

i really wonder if the designer had a 5 series bmw and a new civic on his desktop. to me, the side looks just like a bmw, the front not too different, and the rear lights look like the civic coupes.

edit: i also see her as a nasty, disgusting pig.

0-60 is a test of traction more than power. It says more about tire choice than power. FWD cars will pretty much always run a slower 0-60 and 1/4 ET than the power and trap speed indicate because weight transfer at launch decreases traction at the drive wheels.
Yeah, tell that to the Acura TL that can get below 6s and 14s @ 100mph, with FWD and heavier weight. Again, give me that coupe and I'll get much better times that those. 102mph trap speed indicates how strong the car can pull.

Both cars in the Edmunds test were 6 speed manuals.
