The new Accord is actually better than I was expecting.

Entry-level models will be powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that develops 192 hp (143 kW) and 192 lb-ft (260 Nm) of torque. It can be connected to either a six-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission.
The Accord will also be available with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder producing 252 hp (187 kW) and 273 lb-ft (369 Nm) of torque. A six-speed manual is available on Sport variants but most models will come with a new 10-speed automatic transmission.

This car will be a rocket with the new engines and transmissions.

The A8 includes an autonomous system, which allows the car to drive itself at speeds of up to 60km/h (37mph), and a remote parking feature, which can be used without any occupants inside.
A new, fully active, electromechanical suspension, is also part of the package, as is the 48-volt electrical system.
The electromechanical suspension is very impressive. It allows the car to drive over deep pot holes and not even shake.

No more V6 or Coupe for the Accord.

With the new 2.0 turbo producing more power than the V6 I think Honda will eventually be phasing out the V6 altogether. I expect them to do this in the Pilot, Odessy, Ridgeline, MDX, and RDX.
From a manufacturing sense this would save money because you only have two different four cylinder engines for your entire lineup. Just changing the tune on the turbo. This is actually the way the entire industry is going. When you can get 310 hp from a four cylinder engine, do you really need a V6 or V8. That's more than enough power for over ninety percent of consumers.
-
Good to see they still offer a manual transmission option.

they messed up the look....the current accord look is been praised for a while and now they find a way to make it look like a damn civic......good job, Honda....which one of these accords look like a civic?
-
Back in the day I loved turbos and turboed everything and boosted the hell out of everything I could because it's the most efficient way to boost horsepower and it 300 horsepower out of a sub 2 L motor. But very very few manufacturers wanted to Turbo Charge anything. Fast forward to today and that love of turbo chargers and maximum power is replaced with a love for screaming High Rev naturally aspirated Motors and the exhaust tone they produce. Now today all the car manufacturers are doing away with the high-revving naturally aspirated Motors and turbocharging everything... I just can't win. Lol.
Turbos just kill the exhaust notes, & i my racing days are over. I'd rather enjoy to experience of a screaming NA motor at 8k rpm even if it is e seconds slower in a 1/4mile. Inthink the only turbo motors that sound nice are the McLaren's & would choose a 675 Spyder over a 488 Ferrari any day.

I wasn't a fan of the new Civic when I first came out, but it's the best selling car in America. I think it's offering more for the money and even stealing customers away from the Accord.
I really wish the new Accord looked nothing like the the Civic. I'm not a fan of the hatchback look, but it gives rear passengers more headroom, so all cars will have this look in the future.

The average consumer doesn't care what's under the hood. As long as the car accelerates fast enough when they put their foot on the gas, that's all that matters.

I don't care what's under the hood either so long as it sounds fucking beautiful like screaming naturally aspirated Motors do. Those turbochargers does just muffle the fuck out of the exhaust so bad that companies like BMW have to generate fake exhaust sounds and pump pump them through the car speakers
-
I have a 1.4 tsi engine in my car, its great... Comparing it to some of my older ones with bigger engines, just as fast,less fuel with the fancy eco mode switching two cylinders off when your cruising, clever as fuck the new cars

Unfortunately high revving NA motors are a thing of the past
Those days of affordable Honda 8/9k 4 bangers and BMW straight 6's and V8's/V10 has come to an end
Miss those k series motors and S motors from Honda and BMW

I was pretty much out of the tuning scene bynthentime k series came in. Built quite a few b and even d series though. Even lucky enough to work on the b18c5 of a teammate (turbo'd that too, unfortunatley..but at the time turbo was the way to go.)... I do miss the sound of those Blitz blow off valves in m supra though. Lol... But even the externally venting blow-off valves seem to be gone and "compressor flutter" is now the "cool thing" lol... Pretty soon, in another 15yrs, ill have regressed back to a 61 Impala SS with a straight-piped 327. Lol

B series was good but K was out of this world in the realm of tuning
This was around 2004ish I remember, what a fun little car the rsx type s with that motor was, memories

Yea the rsx was the end of the road for most us who grew up with integras, civics and eclipses in the 90s and we went to either big boost supras and rx7s or to VIPs or suv's.

LOL Exactly! Turn the key, step on the gas and go.

I prefer naturally aspirated engines...There is no lag between stomping on the gas and the power being there...Also the power plants are more durable without turbos...

actually there is no turning the key... you keep them in your pockets and push a button

The suspension system works thanks to an electric motor on each wheel and incorporates a rotary tube and an internal titanium torsion bar and lever that can apply up to 1,100 Nm (811.3 lb-ft) of torque on the suspension courtesy of a coupling rod. This system then works in conjunction with the luxury sedan’s front camera which detects bumpers and allows the suspension to automatically adjust to offer the smoothest ride possible. Audi says this system will be able to eliminate almost all vibrations and jolts.

Impressive stuff sure but all this Tech is just another expensive gadget that will break and drain the pockets of the average consumer. Does the avg man even feel the difference or push his car hard enough to notice/or have the need for a self adjustable sway bar!,,, lol... With all this Tech stuffed in todays cars aftermarket will be a huge business. But personally I prefer not to spend half my income on my means for transportation. Only the sheeple do, IMO...

The average consumer doesn't buy an Audi A8/S8 (with a sourced Porsche engine). People with money buy them, drive them, then buy the new whatchamacallit when it comes out. The "average" buyer then sees this on the second hand market when it has depreciated like a rock, and that is when the pockets get drained.

Very arrogant company, Audi
Top management belongs in jail
In Europe they only offer a 2 year warranty, they have very little faith in their own products
A8 enters a shrinking market segment, and the also arrogant Audi slogan, Vorsprung Durch Technik is completely false
TESLA is way ahead of all germans

The Accord will be the most reliable of the two. By far.
Way better value for money also, and what most "journalists" in Europe forget to mention: german pseudo premium cars have a very high risk of car jacking, home jacking and theft of parts of the entire car
Eastern European maffia work effectively.....stolen parts end up in China even (AutoBild gps equipped navi theft research)

Audis up to the late 80s-early 90s were rock solid, reliable cars. The newer cars are not very reliable and cost a ton to maintain but their interior design is one of the best imho.

Boost, turbo chargers? Lol, I'll take a 1969 Boss 429 over that crap any day. Shit man, even the 400hp Eco boost sounds like shit with exhaust. Nothing beats the sound of a V8.

Murcielago was the successor to the Diablo....sexy beast of a car....a 2007 Murcielago with 15k miles will cost you around 140k these days, not the Murci SV shown in this video here....they're asking 450k for a 2010 Murci Super Veloce.....hell no, that's the Aventador Price range right here.....

hahahhahahah......this Murci SV is for sale for 250k and they're telling you that you'll spend another 50k in repair bills......GRRR....someo ne lost lots of money in value here

Murci's are cheaper around here. Guy down the street has an aventador(in a shitty fucken grey color.. Not silver.. Grey....Like paint. Lol must be been last on the lot a d he got deal) and an old client has a murci with an akrapovik exhaust and the murci sounds a lot better (that vid has an iPE exhaust which sound better than akrapovik).
Neither are a #2 car.. More like a #3-4. After a daily driver, and another ... Then you can get a lambo if you can still afford it. If you don't already have area at 2 other cars and own your home, you can't afford the lambo... Or Ferrari. Maintence is brutal. Few yrs ago I was gonna get a "cheap" f360 but got talked out of it by a client who owns a concierge service for wealthy clients.. Part of his job is to schedule Maintence for their cars and he could easily afford to "buy" a lambo or Ferrari, in addition ring is 2 range rivers and 2 benz and 2 homes but refuses to. Also talked me out if buying a *cheap* land rover and a *cheap* '11 s550. Dude probably saved me 80k that year. Lol
