How much did you paid for your 2009/2010 Accord Euro

[boleh]

I dunno what Honda was doing for the last 5 years, VW is already on their 2nd Generation of TSI engines and DSG gearboxes. Fiat group has their own twin charged engines and DSG boxes, even Ford has DSG's now.

Honda is still one of the most joyous handling wise (Alfa 159 takes crown on that... SOOOOO good... even if i cant drive manual for S***). But seriously, what was Honda doing for the last 5 years? For the R&D money they blown on that stupid flop of a "Legend" and that "SH-AWD" (SH for "Super-Handling"...) they would've had their own range of high efficiency small displacement engines and Dual-clutch gearboxes.

Are the people who gave us the glorious VTEC now too busy charging existing owners $200 for door actuators than doing some R&D?

A Skoda Superb 1.8 TSI (118KW) can outrun a Euro on a straight line... While drinking 30% less petrol on the Urban Cycle (9.6L/100km vs. 12.3L/100km) WHILE being a full size car?

Time really had moved on... At least for the $40k plus market.

The K24 is fine but the 5-speed autobox is ancient.

The car is heavy, and bigger than CL9 on exterior dimensions. But its still the same cramp interior.

More power than the CL9 but slower.

On the outside, it's very subjective if it looks better than CL9. The changes look deliberate and whether they contribute to a better look is arguable.

The only improvement that I can agree is CU2 has better interior. The dash looks great.

No, I won't be looking at the CU2 to replace my CL9 when the time comes
