Here's a question for thought.....I know that you probably won't recoup the value of the extra $2000 for the V6 at resale in, say 8 years (some though, but not all).
But now that there is more push by society and the government for fuel efficiency, do people think that in 8 years if I were to sell my car:
A) Honda will have stopped making a V6 Accord entirely, and therefore a 2014 V6 will be MORE desirable to enthusiasts?
B) More and more cars will have continued to improve their MPG (lots more hybrids and 4 cyls by then) such that the "norm" will be to get 45+ mpg with good performance, and therefore a 2014 V6 gulping 21 mpg in city will be seen as LESS desirable...more of a dinosaur?
Before the flamers come on to say that I am overanalyzing and have used my allotment of posts since I haven't yet bought a car, just be aware that I'm not hinging any decision on this answer....but just thought of it and wondered what smart minds would think.
