I dissagree with that statement.. feels nothing like the old 'boat' Accord.. it REALLY did feel like driving a boat.. one can only speculate on the 'sportyness' of the new Euro but comparing the NEW ACCORD to the current Euro, the Accord has a very sporty feel indeed !!

dont be fooled, this isnt just a re-skin of the old accord - it's a completely NEW model and barels little resemblance in any way to the old model.

for a BIG car it doesnt feel like it when you drive it - have had many customers make the comment that it doesnt feel like you're driving a big car etc.

the NEW ACCORD is just a pleasure to drive - even the 2.4L is fine. not as 'fast' as a Euro, but it's nicely balanced and the extra features make up for the lesser speed. the V6 is another storey all together..

true true!! I just place an order an V6-L in polished metal today, when I drive it, it makes me feel comfortable and very sporty feeling when i using the Grade Logic Control, can't wait to take it home!!

congrats on the purchase!
The V6L is my pick at the moment, having many commodore V8 ect and larger cars in the past, its good to be back in a very well balanced car! This accord will cause hell for holden and ford!
