Default Honda is Acura...so that doesn't surprise me. If they make the styling like Audi....

I bet just the Honda name would get some people to buy it. However, I bet the interior will not come close to Audi.

Default still rumours I guess. I've heard that...

the 4-cylinder accords will be bumped up from 150 hp to 170 hp.

And the 240 hp engine will only be available on the coupes, not on sedans, which will keep the existing 200 hp V6.

Default But it will have...

Decent ride, nice interior (for a Japanese car), marshmallow handling, no sport package, automatic only, a great navigation system and it will stay out of the shop. And speaking of nav, why doesn't Audi give us the one they have in Europe? The one that tilts, swivels and plays video while stopped?

Default The Altima 3.5 has 240HP too, it's still not an Audi and appeals to different buyers

So who cares?

Default Honda is changing its spots?

Honda has never had a manual transmission 6cyl sedan (US). Are they really going to start now? Even Acura only offers the 6sp on the S coupe.

Default yep, apparenty that's one of the long-awaited changes.

My '00 EX-V6 sucked, mainly because it was an auto :-(

interestingly enough, the new accord looks very similar to the new Altima, too.
