The "antiquated" knobs on the radio are a much welcome return. Thanks Honda for listening to the number one grip of Honda owners. The "swipe" buttons were a pain.
I just test drove a 2.0T this past week. I was very impressed across the board. Looks great and was verycomfortable. I'm a bigger guy and this car was a good fit.
I have driven nothing but V6 Hondas and Acuras since 2002. I swore that I would never get another 4 cylinder since I loved the dynamics and feel of the V6 models I owned. Came time to replace my '16 TLX V6 and decided to just check out the Accord 2.0T, after reading so many positive things about it and watching numerous videos hailing its greatness. I just purchased a '20 Accord Touring 2.0T about 3 weeks ago. I am so impressed! Honda has done a tremendous job! Not only did I go back to a Honda after driving 7 straight Acuras but went from a V6 to a turbo 4 cylinder. The car is superb and I do not miss the V6 at all. I believe the Accord is actually a bit quicker than my Acura. I will say that my Acura had a little bit less road noise but the Accord isn't unbearable by any stretch. Also, the sound system in my Acura is superior and that I do miss but the rest of the car is fantastic! I think it's great looking, economical, reliable, comfortable, feature laden and plenty quick.
Knobs are NOT antiquated, they're normal! No one wants or needs to put their index finger and slide it to raise or lower the volume, keeps your eyes off if the road doing so!
Holly crap, there is intelligent life left on this planet. Driving and cell phone use illegal, swiping your car's screen to find the climate controls, legal.
nauticalone Ed ...I'm sure he'll retire soon enough, it's been a good run but time to go and drive off into the sunset in a MW favorite from BMW or VW, that seems to be their favorites. Knobs are much safe and they are round and 360 degrees of turning is easy and can't be improved upon, get it MW.
I currently own a 2018 Accord 2.0 Sport and I love everything about it. It's quick, nimble and fun to drive. The 10 speed auto is very responsive and sport mode makes it even more so. I call it my little rocket on wheels.
I have a 2018 CR-V Touring with the 1.5T. The engine is loud. It growls. The CVT transmission in it takes a bit of getting used to but from what I know it is actually one of the better sorted CVT transmissions out there. These turbo Honda engines LOVE high octane gas. There is a noticeable difference in power and throttle response with 93 vs 87 octane.
I remember the first time I ever rode in a 2018 Accord. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. January 26, 2018 was a great day. June 26, 2020 3:08 am
To folks that type without thinking.... listen. John Davis has been reviewing cars for almost 40 years and still has the platform to do so. You can't get along for that long without knowing what you are talking about. If you don't like the review go watch Redline or something. This show is well respected around the world so pay homage to that fact alone
Love that John Davis is still doing MotorWeek. His voice takes me back. New Accord looks like an amazing car. No clue why anyone would buy a Camry over an Accord.
The Accord has always been one of the several unveiling I always look forward too. Along with the Miata, mustang, wrangler F-150. I have driven a 1.5T Sport CVT. I was pleasantly surprised by the low end grunt of the tiny motor. I bet the 6 spd manual is fun. I think the Passat R-Line is just as good(have owned 2). I’m getting a new car in May/June and the Accord Sport, Civic Si, Passat R-Line are on the short list. I hope the Accord leases well.
I really do credit Honda and Toyota for bringing back the sedan game in 2018. Really forced other automakers to step there game up with the Sonora K5 Altima Jetta.
Passthedutch 9890 I agree with you. It's not a original design it's just copying what's in the market and just looks like over sized civic mixed with a cross tour.
senorgato70 BULLSHIT, UGLIEST FUCKING HONDA EVER! ALL SHIT TURBOS THAT WILL BREAK IN 7 TO 10 YEARS. I OWN 5 HONDAS FROM 1988 CRX'S TO 1999 CIVIC FERIO's, SO YOU BETTER COME AT ME WITH A DIFFERENT REBUTTAL!
I finally picked up my Accord Touring 2.0T last week! I couldn't be happier. The Car handles the road extremely well. Steering is fantastic, and the new 10 speed auto transmission is buttery smooth, coupled with a great paddle shifters. Lastly, the cockpit is loaded with tech. This car will put a smile on your face each time you are behind the wheel. This is coming from a guy who used to own a BMW 4 Series. My old Beemer was surely flashier & more powerful with twin turbo V6.....However, this beatiful sporty Accord will make you smile each time you drive it! Ohh, and it cost me a lot less than BMW! Thank you Honda for building a fantastic family sports car, loaded with safety features and top notch tech goodies, that other luxury manufacturers charge $1000's for. I'm a happy Honda customer!

Ily Sayarh Same here. My godfather, who was my former middle school vice-principal back in seventh grade for the '07-'08 school year just got a midnight blue 2018 Accord about two weeks ago! He told me that his '13 F-150 wasn't giving him good fuel mileage when he travels from Orangeburg, SC to West Columbia, SC to his principal job at a charter school. While asking my godfather about his Accord, he's doesn't know what trim level that he got. However, he told me his came with that Adidas-like cloth upholstery which gave me a hint! Even though he's 6'5" and a truck guy, I'm very happy for him!! ☺☺☺☺
An ex girlfriend of mine is an avid Accord fan and she had the last Touring V6 which was a great car to drive. I was skeptic when she bought this current model touring but after getting in and driving it, I was impressed. It's got more interior room and the same quickness as the V6 it replaced.
I'm not hyped on the rear tail lights or the front end, however if they decided to go nuts and make a Type R Accord for North America, i would probably rush up there to toss money down!
I really wish they would make an Accord Type R for the United States market. Low Volume and they would sell, I think they'd be surprised how many people would want it, and all they'd have to do is tune that new K20C1 2.0 Turbo up t around like 350-400hp Range if they want to keep costs low since they wouldn't have to develop a new engine. Then if that did well, the following Model Could have a Turbo V6 or even Turbo Inline 5 cyinder would be cool mainly because of the exotic sound they have and Honda isn't new to 5 Cylinder engines either they made the Acura Vigor Honda Vigor in some markets, with a 2.0 (G20A1) 5 cylinder making 160 hp and 137 Lb Ft of Torque or a 2.5 (G25A1) 5 cylinder making 187 Hp and 175 Lb Ft of Torque. Then there was also the US market TL from 1995-1998 that also had a 2.5 (G25A4) 5 cylinder slightly detuned to 176 Hp and 175 Lb Ft of Torque for whatever reason, most likely emissions. But how amazing would it be to have a Turbo 5 Cylinder Honda Accord Type R in the US market making near 400 hp, SH-AWD borrowed from Acura and renamed would go well with it too and make for a hell of a Car and wouldn't directly compete with it's own Civic since they would be for different markets and I think it would sell and be amazing as long as they didn't price it ridiculously.
it's a nice looking interior but I'm perplexed with the "let's put a tablet in the middle of the dash" thing for the 8" touch screen. seems a bit angled back making it difficult to see when the sun is straight overhead?? OR I could be completely in left field on that one.
Nope. Lol..still don’t like the looks of these. The 2020* version was ok, though. If i had the money to currently stay within honda/acura ecosystem, i’d get the current type r in white or dark grey or the integera type s in black or dark grey.
This new design is growing on me. Still don't really care for the back end & the new rims. The Sport rims look nice but the previous Accord Sport rims looked better... I do love how Honda put alot of new standard features in this car, making it look and feel like a luxury car
Interesting acceleration times. The slow 0-60 is definitely due to the lack of traction so I wouldn't be consumed with that number too much; the 100 mph trap speed shows it is faster than the old V6 auto (the old manual V6 was a bit faster). The 2.0t with the manual is known to be slower due to lack of optimized gearing as well as turbo spool going offline in between shifts.
Easily better looking than ANY other sedan in the segment. Like the rear of the Camry, Passat is ok (I drive an '08 3.6L 4Motion which I love)... everything else... Ehhhh... I may be a bit prejudiced on the Honda. I've owned 7 Accords (3 Civics). My mother has a Pilot. They are just great cars. If I should buy a new car in the next few years, it will be a red or white Accord Touring. BTW, I am foul with Ford over the discontinuation of most of it's cars. Not everyone wants an SUV or CUV, Ford!!!!!!!!!
This new Accord 2.0 Turbo is a game changer. The only reason to buy a BMW over this is you want to pay more and get less for a badge and your happy with BMW's asinine engineering in a lack of a oil dip stick relying only on the computer to top off.
Why I'm buying one, Everyone is to concerned what people, homes, cars look like nowadays. What about reliability? Pumping regular gas? Every bit of technology that's out there, for a cheap lease rate?
Alot of people are, but if you have driven a new Accord 2.0T, you will be impressed. They are faster across the board than the V6. The only thing you would miss would be the V6 exhaust note. Outside of that, the 2.0T is a step forward.
Now hear this...turbo and 6 spd manual available, oh yeah, it's a Honda, what seems to be the problem here? Let's look at what we've got here from a perf standpoint, 14.8 @100 mph and a cold track, car was blowing the tires off from the git go, so what you really have here is a 14.4 family car that's fun to drive and looks great. That said, I would rework that grill a bit, the top portion. I'm sure Honda wouldn't do a Type R version of this but they could, it has the engine already...DO IT HONDA!
Motor Trend has the Malibu 2.0T handling, braking better than the Accord 2.0T 10-speed with a higher 1/4 mile trap speed. All for $10,000 less since 2016. Accord is just catching up.
Norm T ...with a face only a mother can love, NO MANUAL and nowhere near thes reliability rep the Accord has truly earned. The Malibu is down the list when looking at midsized cars, down there with the Altima but above it.
Klasse Act Since 2015 Accord repair record per 100 is growing to almost double according to Truedelta. The current Accord has gone down hill just like the CR-V leads the segment in repairs. Honda is charging top buck for their cars and cuv's but the customers are over paying. I won't even start on the V6 vibration and oil consumption or the ZF transmission follies. Honda customers shouldn't be beta testers for the company. Chevrolet is the most awarded car company over the last couple of years for a reason.
I dislike this trend of using buttons or dials for shifting the transmission. It's not as intuitive to push or pull buttons when backing up, instead of using a console-based shifter. Also, where can you rest your hand when your elbow is lying on the console?! The new Accord is not selling well as a result of this, just like the 2018 GMC Terrain is not selling as well as it should. They both use buttons for transmission functions.
I don't really see the correlation. considering that the vast majority of accord buyers do not get the 2.0T, but the 1.5T instead. that has a transmission with a lever. as for "resting your hand" just put more of your arm on the armrest? I drive a manual so I don't have the option to rest my hand on the selector (I risk damaging the shift forks), and it has never bothered me.
If they can slim the A pillars, why cant they do the same with the B pillars. Every single sedan ive seen has these huge pillars which block visibility. I know they carry air bags, but they need to work on that
I got a chance to see the new look Honda Accord at the DC Auto show a few weeks ago. The Pictures do not the car justice. It's way better looking in person. It's bigger, wider, and more aggressive looking. (Especially the Sport and EX models)
I really dislike this new trend of automakers using turbos on everything nowadays----when those turbos break or wear out (and they will), repairs will be costly. That might be an acceptable compromise in a sports car, but not in a family sedan.
Keep in mind the old J-series uses a timing belt , which in the Honda is hard to replace, with a $800 repair bill every 100k. That's a mandatory replacement too, not just "maybe" it will go out, it eventually will and break your engine down completely.
justsomeguytoyou ...the previous engine it replaced needed a timing belt service which also had people replacing their water pumps as well due to it being replaced. I heard it's a $1200 service...is that acceptable. Turbo tech has come a long way, older ones weren't better but having coolant running through it after shut off is key, the older turbos didn't have that and if you ran them hard and shut them off right away the bearing inside would go bad and then smoke, not the turbos fault but USER ERROR. Get with the times, there is a replacement for displacement and it's called T U R B O
The dashboard ,the twin real exhaust pipe, the taillights of Camry are better. The interior door panel , the wheel of Accord are better. Other things are equal. Both need to be improved the front. Both exterior shape are good. ฺBoth dashboard are good.
That test track has seen so many generations of the Honda Accord.
and other cars
I'm amazed that MotorWeek is still making these reviews in the same structure that I remember as a kid lol. Still cool, and I'm still watching.
37 seasons and still going strong
I've been watching John Davis since I was 5. He is a great narrator for these road and comparison tests
I don't know what I'd do without it!
Same buddy. I was born in 85 and can remember John and his voice very well. This show still gives me a nice, nostalgic feeling.
Yung Padawan short and to the point I love them

He was being sarcastic
billiam S I don't think so🤔
I currently own a 2018 Accord 2.0 Sport and I love everything about it. It's quick, nimble and fun to drive. The 10 speed auto is very responsive and sport mode makes it even more so. I call it my little rocket on wheels.
By far the best sedan in America right now.
@fearlesslegend RLX is better
Tlx : hold my joint
I sat in one today at the dealership..Wow was my first expression..rear leg room space was crazy..
John Davis still at it?! Amazing! Then again, it's great he is still doing Motorweek after 30+ years!
37 seasons and counting
I have a 2018 CR-V Touring with the 1.5T. The engine is loud. It growls.

June 26, 2020 3:08 am
I just turned in my civic hatchback for this and I seriously love this car!!!
I Love these review's. Ive been watching them since I was a wee little lad. Keep it up Motor Week!
To folks that type without thinking.... listen. John Davis has been reviewing cars for almost 40 years and still has the platform to do so.

Amazing car with 2.0. Hella fun to drive too. Highly recommended
The leader continues to mesmerize....
I love the headlights!
Thank you, John Davis, for another legendary review. ❤️👍💪

You hit the mark this time Honda! This Accord is wonderful!!
I really do credit Honda and Toyota for bringing back the sedan game in 2018. Really forced other automakers to step there game up with the Sonora K5 Altima Jetta.
This car looks much better in the real. It's very elegant and has a good aggressive stance at the same time.
senorgato70 I agree. I saw one today. Looks so much better in person. A less expensive, more reliable alternative to my favorite car, the Audi A7.
I disagree. It looks like a Hyundai Genesis mixed with a Mazda 6. It's not original looking, it looks like everything else.
senorgato70 I have seen it in real life. It does not look better it actually looks less attractive then the one it replaces.
Passthedutch 9890 I agree with you. It's not a original design it's just copying what's in the market and just looks like over sized civic mixed with a cross tour.
senorgato70 BULLSHIT, UGLIEST FUCKING HONDA EVER! ALL SHIT TURBOS THAT WILL BREAK IN 7 TO 10 YEARS. I OWN 5 HONDAS FROM 1988 CRX'S TO 1999 CIVIC FERIO's, SO YOU BETTER COME AT ME WITH A DIFFERENT REBUTTAL!

Love the 1.5T Sport model
John sure loves his blue dress shirt
I'm not hyped on the rear tail lights or the front end, however if they decided to go nuts and make a Type R Accord for North America, i would probably rush up there to toss money down!
Acc0rd79 I love Honda and Acura and they need to make Type S and R for their line ups.

around 45k?
Yung Padawan yea just to have it markup to 55k by the dealers and then honda will go "guess nobody wants it"
There is an OBD2 plugin overclocker from Hondata for $695 that boosts torque by 100 pounds.
The 2 litre turbo is a sleeper...retune it for 300+ hp😀
I have yet to find a way to do so, that does not void the manufacturer's warranty.
I see so many Hondas like this on the road. Mostly the civics
Beautiful, Love the center console too.
it's a nice looking interior but I'm perplexed with the "let's put a tablet in the middle of the dash" thing for the 8" touch screen. seems a bit angled back making it difficult to see when the sun is straight overhead?? OR I could be completely in left field on that one.
Antiquated knobs and buttons are what potential buyers would want these days. Sliding volume controls and tuning controls are not as responsive.
i don't know which to buy? a 2018 dodge charger or this accord? their both pretty good cars.
Great video.
Please what's the title of the first song in the background?
Glad Honda finally got the clue that they need to work on exterior looks of their cars
I still have my 2018 Accord ❤🇭🇹🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hmmm, the Accord 2.0T gets tested for 0-60 and 1/4 mile run. The Camry v6 no acceleration test very interesting Motorweek.
Can you please do a head2head between 2018 Honda Accord 2.0 T
VS 2018 Mercedes Benz E 4 doors turbo?
honda> everyone. these accords are incredibly good..
Rip v6
Coraga 1 ignorant piece of SHIT
And RIP Coupe...
J blocks were never great. Honda never progressed in the V6 design since the C blocks.
Nice closing😁
i'll get this in about 4-5 years from now when it's refreshed and refined.. at moment i'm good with the last species of the accord coupe touring.
Did you end up getting it?
Nope. Lol..still don’t like the looks of these. The 2020* version was ok, though. If i had the money to currently stay within honda/acura ecosystem, i’d get the current type r in white or dark grey or the integera type s in black or dark grey.
Australia needs this car. Perfect replacement for Honda Accord Euro.
This new design is growing on me. Still don't really care for the back end & the new rims. The Sport rims look nice but the previous Accord Sport rims looked better... I do love how Honda put alot of new standard features in this car, making it look and feel like a luxury car
Honda make a wagon version please!!!!
with faux wood paneling
Ummmm, NO!
Acura TSX had a wagon version, nobody bought it :-(
Interesting acceleration times. The slow 0-60 is definitely due to the lack of traction so I wouldn't be consumed with that number too much; the 100 mph trap speed shows it is faster than the old V6 auto (the old manual V6 was a bit faster).

New daily driver someday ! My 04 Accord still got plenty of life though
Rookie To Pro : My 04 V6 is going strong at 225k
DOPE ! I think you beat me by like 5k , but I'll catch up ! Haha
Why are there absolutely no reviews of the ‘98-‘02 Accord online? It’s like it’s the forgotten generation
garren588 I know! I used to have one and it was my baby! I can’t find anything on that generation!
Great job, Honda! This one's got it all, reliability, low cost, looks, performance, and fuel efficiency.
Easily better looking than ANY other sedan in the segment. Like the rear of the Camry, Passat is ok (I drive an '08 3.6L 4Motion which I love)... everything else... Ehhhh... I may be a bit prejudiced on the Honda. I've owned 7 Accords (3 Civics). My mother has a Pilot. They are just great cars.

2018 Accord 2.0T Touring model added to my stable. Happened this past evening. Stay tuned to my channel.
This new Accord 2.0 Turbo is a game changer. The only reason to buy a BMW over this is you want to pay more and get less for a badge and your happy with BMW's asinine engineering in a lack of a oil dip stick relying only on the computer to top off.
I love the design , I knew when they redesigned the hot Civic the design language was gonna be on the new Accord! I want one!!!
Why I'm buying one,
Everyone is to concerned what people, homes, cars look like nowadays. What about reliability? Pumping regular gas? Every bit of technology that's out there, for a cheap lease rate?
Best looking Accord Honda's ever made, I think. Without the badges, I would've guessed it was a new Acura.
Looks like a chevy Impala !!!
Impala looks like A7 looks like DeLorean looks like....
My sony TV looks like a Toshiba TV, how dare they make them look alike
Coraga 1, or what bitch?
You look like a Chevy impala
wantapgt I'm not liberal u idiot
Thank you Honda for having manual transmission options
Remember when the accord was a midsize car this thing is big
Wish they made with sportback.
Awesome car
What's up with those headlights? Jewel headlights? How many though. Looks like damn near 8 on each side!
Perfect car for a teen starting to drive
Might be too expensive for a teen, maybe if you say 5 years from now
I cant believe its the same guy as back in the day. He's dont almost all generations of the Accord.
2.0 T Sport 6MT. hope K-Tuner makes a Tune for this soon to unleash the Type-R Unicorns.
Antiquated knobs and buttons rule!!!!
I am disappointed that Honda dropped their wonderful V-6 engine in the Accord.
Alot of people are, but if you have driven a new Accord 2.0T, you will be impressed. They are faster across the board than the V6. The only thing you would miss would be the V6 exhaust note. Outside of that, the 2.0T is a step forward.
I stick to my 2016 V6 3.5 liter. Thank you.
Now hear this...turbo and 6 spd manual available, oh yeah, it's a Honda, what seems to be the problem here?
Let's look at what we've got here from a perf standpoint, 14.8 @100 mph and a cold track, car was blowing the tires off from the git go, so what you really have here is a 14.4 family car that's fun to drive and looks great. That said, I would rework that grill a bit, the top portion.
I'm sure Honda wouldn't do a Type R version of this but they could, it has the engine already...DO IT HONDA!
Malibu 2.0T has been doing that since 2016 for $10,000 less.
Norm T ...Malibu has been doing what?
Motor Trend has the Malibu 2.0T handling, braking better than the Accord 2.0T 10-speed with a higher 1/4 mile trap speed. All for $10,000 less since 2016. Accord is just catching up.

Klasse Act Since 2015 Accord repair record per 100 is growing to almost double according to Truedelta. The current Accord has gone down hill just like the CR-V leads the segment in repairs. Honda is charging top buck for their cars and cuv's but the customers are over paying. I won't even start on the V6 vibration and oil consumption or the ZF transmission follies. Honda customers shouldn't be beta testers for the company.
Chevrolet is the most awarded car company over the last couple of years for a reason.
I dislike this trend of using buttons or dials for shifting the transmission. It's not as intuitive to push or pull buttons when backing up, instead of using a console-based shifter. Also, where can you rest your hand when your elbow is lying on the console?! The new Accord is not selling well as a result of this, just like the 2018 GMC Terrain is not selling as well as it should. They both use buttons for transmission functions.
I don't really see the correlation. considering that the vast majority of accord buyers do not get the 2.0T, but the 1.5T instead. that has a transmission with a lever.
as for "resting your hand" just put more of your arm on the armrest? I drive a manual so I don't have the option to rest my hand on the selector (I risk damaging the shift forks), and it has never bothered me.
Faster than a BMW 530i m sport in a drag race
Accord has more hp and less weight. Nothing special about it being faster. It should be faster
Without going overboard! Did you not see the front,chrome ,bucktooth grille.
we need a 4 wheel dr. and rear wheel...
Damn girl, my car has a back seat too!
If they can slim the A pillars, why cant they do the same with the B pillars. Every single sedan ive seen has these huge pillars which block visibility. I know they carry air bags, but they need to work on that
I got a chance to see the new look Honda Accord at the DC Auto show a few weeks ago. The Pictures do not the car justice. It's way better looking in person. It's bigger, wider, and more aggressive looking. (Especially the Sport and EX models)
nice
grill is like a utility vehicle
All three videos have the cars of now but the setting of the 90s and the people of the 50s
Why would they make the 2 liter less HP? Blows my mind...
The spunky performance add in this generation made all the difference !! And the gorgeous interior
What is Acura doing!!!! Their tlx too slow
I won't be surprise if the Honda Pilot & Odyssey is downsized to 2.0t four too in the near future
I really dislike this new trend of automakers using turbos on everything nowadays----when those turbos break or wear out (and they will), repairs will be costly. That might be an acceptable compromise in a sports car, but not in a family sedan.
Coraga 1 well considering how capitalism is now trending as well, I don’t give these turbos lasting any longer than 5 years. Older turbos were solid.
Coraga 1 go fuck yourself bitch
I have a 12 year old car with a turbo that works exactly as new. Probably will run perfectly until the car is parted out.
Keep in mind the old J-series uses a timing belt , which in the Honda is hard to replace, with a $800 repair bill every 100k. That's a mandatory replacement too, not just "maybe" it will go out, it eventually will and break your engine down completely.
justsomeguytoyou ...the previous engine it replaced needed a timing belt service which also had people replacing their water pumps as well due to it being replaced. I heard it's a $1200 service...is that acceptable. Turbo tech has come a long way, older ones weren't better but having coolant running through it after shut off is key, the older turbos didn't have that and if you ran them hard and shut them off right away the bearing inside would go bad and then smoke, not the turbos fault but USER ERROR.
Get with the times, there is a replacement for displacement and it's called T U R B O
On regular??? Not Premium?
603 represents!!!!
What does “Mazda capable” mean?
75/80 looks great!
The 3.5 was over 270hp. He said the 2.0 turbo made more up. It's 252?
Torque wise he means.
Offer AWD and the 6-speed, I might concider going into debt to buy one.
sure you don't also want 800hp and 70mpg?
VW is able to do it with the alltrac. Its completely possible. But are you willing to pay $40,000 for a honda?
LRulesTheWorld the type t is already around that price why not call it type r accord with the AWD
That would be the 2017 Regal 2.0T with Twin Clutch AWD for $10,000 less than this Accord 2.0T.
The dashboard ,the twin real exhaust pipe, the taillights of Camry are better.
The interior door panel , the wheel of Accord are better.
Other things are equal.
Both need to be improved the front.
Both exterior shape are good.
ฺBoth dashboard are good.
No braking test? This not like you guys.
SUV obsessed world...clearly shows the car industry is not dictated by car enthusiast taste...so sad!! it should all be sport coupes & sedans!
Thank God they've gotten rid of those rediculously large grills.
No V 6 ?
They need to fix that damn grill
This car is a better value than the maxima.
RWD and 300/300, then I am a Honda guy!
