    Sam and I finally see eye to eye on a car review. You must have hit your head during one of those drag races which brought you into the light. Best looking Accord ever, most efficient Accord ever, most comfortable Accord ever, probably just as good handling as any Accord with its rear motion control feature. Only thing I would like is some ambient lighting and auto dimming mirrors on the Touring. As someone who had the 2.0L, it was nice in spurts but it devoured gas in the city if you drove it just a little bit aggressively and suffered in the hot weather. This is what the SH-RLX should have been..RIP (at least we get it's wheel design on the Touring)

    Can't wait to see this 11th gen Accord get annihilated on your drag strip by the competition, even worse than the Acura TLX Type S gets destroyed by its own respective competition.
    As a mainstream car, which is what the Accord is, it's combination of features/efficiency is pretty much unbeatable. I still think the 10th generation looks much more modern imo. I also will definitely miss the 2.0T engine, and believe it was a mistake for Honda to DC it. 🤷‍♂️

Maybe a better way of describing this system is to refer to it in terms of a verb, “transmitting” the power from the ICE engine through the electrical generator/battery to the wheels. Automotive transmissions are are actually a noun, a mechanical device between the ICE engine and the wheels. No such device exists in this system. No matter, it is an extremely clever piece of engineering that only Honda uses to simplify the process. Competitors are all using actual physical transmissions to accomplish this, complicating the process. Repeat; the Honda system feels and hears like a CVT to the driver.

      Sounds like you are an employee of HTM. Been there many times. If so you probably know that the CVT that Honda uses on many Accords, Civics, and CR-Vs is made at the Anna Engine Plant for several years now. It is considered one of the best CVTs out there. This is an actual transmission using two tapered steel cones connected by a steel belt. Actually this transmission is used on the base non-hybrid ‘23 Accords.

    One thing I'd like to see Honda do with the Accord nameplate is to make a liftback/hatchback or wagon version, and call it the Accord Liftour or Accord Hatchtour or Accord Wagontour, but keep the low center of mass found on the existing Accord, Integra, Civic Hatchback, etc. The Stinger is axed, and the Arteon is on the way out, and I'f love to see the Honda do something with the Accord (and TLX) to pick up where the Stinger and Arteon are leaving off, because despite all those dicontinuations, the idea of a car with additional practicality and low center of mass is a highly underrated idea with so much potential.

    Great review, as someone who owns a good amount of relatively fast cars(10-11s in the quarter) my 10th generation hybrid is a JOY to daily. The torque from the battery is a monster for that 0 to 20mph blast from stop lights. For how plush it rides, it's superbly damped and handles really well. Barely takes any gas and the second row where my kids sit, make our SUV feel tiny and cramped. Amazing on gas to boot, going 65mph I get about 55mpg.

    For those arguing "the 2023 Camry has a V6 with a lot more power", are you sure that will carry over to the next gen? Sure, 2.4T may be a thing, but sedans have stricter EPA standards than an equivalent CUV. I think Honda might be working on a more powerful version of I-MMD hybrid (whether just more power or PHEV in the works). As for Toyota, I think their flagship powertrain for the 2024 Camry might either be a more powerful hybrid or a borrow from the Rav4 Prime.

      @@SamCarLegion come on man.. I just don't see you doing a drag race in this car. It's the Accord. The family sleeper. A guy could get it for the wife and kids and still feel like a man when he drove it. By the way I like it enough. I drive a Honda and drinking the cool aid only ment you liked the car. Finally, I would never give you the business for telling your truths.

    Good review. everything is better perhaps on the new accord in the interior perhaps... But the 2.0T engine is far better vehicle in terms of performance and smiles per gallon. This accord is just not a replacement for that.
    What made the accord special was getting sporty performance in a package of the V6 and latter 2.0T while not stepping up to the Germans for a similar performance. Clearly that is not a viable option anymore.

    Took a drive in the 2023 Accord, and it felt like I was listening to a can open a revving. Revving. These cars have 7,000 to $12,000 markups where I live. And even that is not deterring people from buying them as it seems to dealerships near me can't keep them in stock.

    Straight up looks like the dated Ford Taurus. Honda - inspired to be boring, slow, and unreliable. 🤣. Let the fanboys cry! LOL!
