I found an old receipt today for an Accord VTI (mid range spec) I purchased new in Dec. 1994. $41,990. When you consider how much The Accord has improved over the years there really is really no comparison as we get so much more car for our money these days.
I know money is tight for most of us, but the CU2 is twice the car that the 94 Accord was & much better equipped. This leads me to believe that we get a lot more car for our money these days.
