all i can say is wow! :eek: the accord v6 seems to fare much better than i thought against some of its pricey japanese competitors:

I went, I read, I laughed! My son's best bud has one...... I've been teasing him since he bought it.....

I praise the honesty. He said there are things the Z wins on, but changed some of his priorities.... He did miss one of complaints I'd heard, visability.

But I'm really glad that we don't all want Accords. That would make the world pretty boring! The differences we all have is what makes life much more fun!:D

Same here, at first i wanted a 2000 maxima being that it would be my first car. Since they were being sold for close to 18 grand for a 3 year old car (got my car in 2003), after becoming exhausted from searching, I decided to take a look at a new car, mainly the accord. I test drove it and signed the paper work the same day. No regrets on the car even though its the 4cyl. LX sedan. I've driven maxima's altima's infiniti's up and down the list and appreciate the 7th gen accord.
