No mention of LED headlights on the new Coupe Touring trim. I'd rather have that than heated rear seats.

Thanks for this, did you notice that Honda Sensing will be available. This is huge and gives me hope that this will come to the CRV as well. IMO these safety features more than outweigh the less appealing look of the front end. Hope that this info is legit.

People complained about ride quality with 18s and now there are standard 19s on the Sedan sport and Touring Coupe?

19s???

Looks like a pretty nice feature set.

Really anxious to see what the sedan actually looks like in person. I've gotten tied of the coupe's limited cargo room and oddly shaped pass through. Makes it tough to haul anything. My road bike barely fits even with the front wheel removed. I don't want to trade it because other than that I love it, and I want to keep this car for a long time, but the '16 sedan is sounding very appealing!

Finally 60/40 split... still not worth having that front end though.

Is it just me or the 16' Sport won't be equipped with a foglights?

If I'm reading that list correctly, the 60/40 WON'T be offered on the Touring or EX-L sedan ? Only the Sport and LX ?

No the + Would indicate all features below it plus these specific features for the EX+ trims.

It will have fog lights, just not LED fogs.... The list starts with LX, and the next model adds on to the list....

 

[TN9thSi]

What remains to be seen is how much Honda will raise the base price to cover all the new features.

Do you really give a rat's about that?

I have fog lights, but I only turn them on to irritate drivers who irritated me in the past with their glaring fog lights when there was no fog at a time when I did not have fog lights. So, it is like payback time.

j/k....sorta.

So by them adding memory seatS for the EX-L - the driver's seat has been memory since 2012 - does that mean they're FINALLY making a power passenger seat for the coupe? I've been complaining about that since I bought my Accord in '09.

I just can't imagine the pain you have experienced from those pesky passengers complaining about not having a power seat.

Must be freakin' awful!

I prefer the manual passenger seat as the power seats are too slow to let people in/out. Just wish it remembered the fore/aft position.

No, it means the EX-L i4 Coupe is getting memory seats. That’s what the "+" means. That model currently does not have memory seats.

I have never experienced the annoyance of having people in the back seat of my coupe.

 

[04gryv6]

still cloth seats and no moonroof option on Sport? that sucks

I know, I know......why can't Honda step up to the plate and develop a 1950s-era manual seat that has a digital memory. WTF, Honda!!

2 sets of seat rails, stacked or parallel. One for fore-aft adjustment, one for entry/exit. Coupes without power seats have been doing this for decades.
