Engine problems? Oh and how are their transmissions doing?....Just kidding.

Well I am sorry that the Accord looks ungly to me, but hey today I did find the angle of the car where it looks good. If you look at the front of the car, head on (like a deer would), it does look sporty and I can see where they got that cheetah stuff from.

Gas Guzzling:
I am gonna try to clarify what constitutes gas guzzling and what doesn't. Engines use gas to operate. Cars, not engines, get bad mileage and good mileage. This that affect gas useage:

1.Aerodynamics
2.Gearing
3.Weight
4.the engine it self
5.size of the rims (yes it does affect)
6.the driver of the car (lead foot?)

So a statement like Acura's 3.2 V6 in the TL-S makes more hp\liter and is better on gas. The first part is true, the second part is substantial.

There is no doubt in my mind that the Accord will still be sales King, but when the 6th gen debued, I said damn "this car looks nice and has more power than a Maxima". The 6th gen to me was way better than the Altima and Carmy.
