I agree, i think accords show more maturity than a civic does, plus, i love the size, its perfectfor me.I would NEVER go back to a "compact" car. Its dumb when people hate on imports. My Accord was MADE IN MARYSVILLE OHIO, by AMERICAN workers!
My question is, was it made in America or assembled in America? According it wiki its assembled in Marysville, Ohio.

The window stick on my '06 EXL MT states that 70% of the car is made with American/Canadian parts and 15% Japanese parts. It would be interesting to compare this with so called "American" cars. BTW, the MT is made in the Phillipines.

Consumer Reports says for a car to be a true american car it must be more than 80% (correct me if i'm wrong, american parts. You are correct with that statement, mine says the same thing!

people whp hate on hondas are just jealous. on some real POOP, when i can buy a mustang or camaro with 250k, original clutch, 4 doors for only 900 dollars and still get another 75k out of the original engine, let me know. hondas have the best resale out of any car manufacturuer for a reason.maybe not the fastest but POOP you can make a geo fast if you have the time dude.

you are sooo wrong about hondas having the best resale, toyotas easily have higher resales, hell a beat up 87 camry will still sell for 1300 if it runs decent. an accord i nthe same shape... more in the 500-900 dollar range... like you said yourself.


and when people get mustangs and camaros they dont want the 4 doors cause 4 doors is not oriented at fast cars. im not a fan of domestics and i dont think theyre all that fast or cool,but outa the box with close to 300 tq, if i was going for speed i rather pay 2 grand for a decently quickmustang than 900 then 2000 on top of that just to maybe get close to that mustang in speed
PLESSEEEEE Watch your Words Guys!!!!

Ok, lets compare apples to apples here. An Accord is no Mustang or Camaro, not even close. My point is, letscompare an Accord to a Malibu (its American Equivliant) or a G6, or a Sebring/Avenger, THE ACCORD WILL RAPE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM!! The Fusion can be a close contender, but its essentailly a MAzda 6 so its not AMERICAN. And the new accord? FULL SIZE, lets compare that to an Impala shall we? Point of the matter is, to me, my accord is no rwd race car. Its an excellent, comfortable, stunt'n ride that has ***** when i want it to.

If you want to compare a honda to a camaro you'll need to use the nsx type r, which as far as I know would curb stomp a camaro....

Although, some Grand Prix will whomp an accord and cost a few grand less...

Camaro's get ragged out way to easily. 5.0 Mustangs have very tough engines. I can see my 91 easily reaching the same mileage as either one of my Hondas.

Some of you guys are going to be sad you have hated on Ford so much pretty soon. They are about to start throwing turbos on a lot of their vehicles.
