Looks like Acura's best in class ground clearance™ has finally trickled down to Honda.

I wonder if those 19" wheels on the Accord will be pot hole proof though.

interior is very nice. Touring is among first car to have 19inch standard rims. Not even Premium brands offer 19inch standard unless its sport package.

Aside from the center display for touch screen controls instead of physical knobs and buttons, we have the same freakin' interior. First it was a "dark and pedestrian" embarrassment, now all of a sudden it's "very nice."

The materials and design different. Thats why your statements always garbage.

2016 Honda Accord Press Kit - Interior - Honda News
The upper instrument panel is now one seamless piece of soft-touch material, the product of a new in-house Honda manufacturing process. This soft upper pad has an improved fit, a luxurious finish and an integrated passenger-side airbag cover.
An improved circular switch layout similar to the current Civic and CR-V models helps make operation simple and intuitive

Wow i did not know they were pretty much the same interior until now.

All they did was plug an extra screen and removed the knob.

Thought it was "ALL new"

Do you even know the meaning of the words you use?

Dark: gloomy; not reflecting much light; approaching black in shade

Pedestrian: dull, boring, bland, uninspired, unimaginative, unexciting


You're telling us that a new softer-to-touch but otherwise similarly shaped/designed and colored upper panel piece plus an improved, but still circular, switch layout on the steering wheel is able to make a "dark" interior less dark?

You're also telling us that this softer-to-touch panel piece and improved switch layout are able to transform a "pedestrian" interior design into one that's fresh, exciting, and lively?

You seriously think we're going to buy this bullshit?

lol, dude the design is exactly the same. Stop trying so hard.

I quite like the Accord sedan touring. Would buy over TLX. Still might buy when the wife is ready for a new car.

These are brown touches all the way to door panels built with new manufacturing process and materials.
The design is completely different from center console all the way to that brown stripe on the dash. Interior in touring is more upscale than genesis

Tires add more rotational mass. Rotational mass bad because:

- reduce most important 0-110 mph acceleration time because without high speed performance its dangerous to overtake and merge lanes
- hurt fuel economic
- increase cost of ownership because tires need replaced
- can be damage by potholes as tires not pothole proof like Acura wheels
- Honda hp are much more than other company hp so TSX superior performance even with tires unlike GS350

Depends. Today, just PWin on Azine - I mean, there's no real news. It's August, every one is on vacation and nothing significant happens.

Biker, who needs to reinstall the radiator on the bike.

Think harder why GS need new tires on one year tests.
Inspected and Sold - 2013 Lexus GS 350 Long-Term Road Test
Luckily for me, I was his first stop. We met at the DMV near the Edmunds offices. He walked around the car and took notice of two things: The GS needed new rear tires and there was some damage to the front grille.

Yea so??? If a HONDA was RWD and more fun to throw into corners being able to walk the ass end out it too would need new rear tires by then.
