Inside the new Accord, it was like being teleported to 10 years ago but finding yourself in a BMW 5 series, less the electronic gizmos. It seems that the benchmark was set too much into copying the feel of German cars.

an engine's efficiency is determined not only by the amount of fuel being injected into the cylinders, but also the amount of internal friction the engine is generating. In VCM643's case, although fuel is being injected only on the front bank of the engine, it will never be as efficient as a 1.7 liter 4 cylinder engine because the internal friction being generated is still that of a 6 cylinder and more energy is needed to overcome it as compared with a 4 cylinder

And if you step out, it's BMW's E60 5-er in the Accord's bodywork...

Does that mean Benzes & BMWs are not prestigious?

I think he's referring to the Peninsula's Camry fleet

I guess it depends on your driving style.
Like if you try to sprint forward every few feet in stop and go traffic, then I guess you'll probably use all 6 cylinders.
For moderate acceleration, the VCM engine uses 4 of its 6 cylinders.

i just saw one nung saturday papasok ng corinthian gardens subd! hitech looking! pero parang na feng shui yung design kasi parang no sense of symmetry or clean flowing lines. parang ang complicated ba. and it screams "chris bangle". maybe it's just like the crv na acquired taste (for me).

Looks like a revival for Honda, a renaissance of some kind.... Looks like the current Civic FD will beat the Corolla 10th gen while the Accord after being absent for 2 generations has a shot at the Camry...
