Accord V6 with VCM still no beating Aurion's FC?

I think the 2GR-FE is more superior to the honda. Achieving the same fuel economy without having such an "intelligent" feature (VCM) in the engine. Only if Toyota decides to put the 2GR-FSE in the aurion...

It depends on the EPR testing conditions. You might find that the it is difficult to achieve the rated numbers on the Aurion but easier on the Accord V6 VCM (just speculating)

Wheels Magazine has a similar speculation in the current issue. They think that the test for the fuel economy sticker is not one that shows up the benefits of the VCM.

Any new Accord V6 owners out there able to report on fuel economy as yet?

Just did my first 1000k's and averaged 11.8 L/100klms.

With very gentle city driving (1/5 throttle) the best I could achieve was high 10's. With 1/2 throttle takeoff to speed limit I averaged around mid 12's.
