I've read that the new model Accord is built on a stretched Civic platform.
I wonder whether this might be the real reason that the V-6 is now gone? Simply not enough room for it?
The coupe is gone as well.
I also wonder what other compromises Honda might have made in this bit of platform engineering?
I've been a little disappointed in Honda's offerings for the past decade or so, but I suppose that every make has its great model cycles as well as its mediocre ones.
I loved our eighties Civics and nineties Accords, but those models were from a long time ago.
Our '12 remains tight and free of rattles as it approaches five years and 75K and has needed nothing more than fluid changes and a set of tires, but it is nowhere near as entertaining to drive as some of the earlier cars.
