Lets not jump the gun and say the Crustang is going to be faster than the '03 Accord just because it has 20+ hp. A GT has 20 more hp than a S2k, who'd win that race?
I know magazine times are irrelevent in the real world, but I see GT times in mid 14's, and the new Accord is getting mid to high 14's.
The Crustang I'm sure will not be able to beat the '03 Accord in an all around performance contest either. I'm sure the Accord will produce better autocross times than a GT, all day long.

The only pro in the Crustangs favor is acceleration.
The accord:
1. value
2. reliability
3. residual value
4. durability
5. versatility
6. modern design
7. modern technology
8. luxury
9. handling
10. mpg
11. user friendly

Just to name a few, but if some of you would still buy a Crustang for the simple reason of a SLIGHTLY better acceleration time, that's your opinion.
In my opinion if I'm going to make a huge purchase like buying a car, I am going to research several variables before hand and make my decision accordingly so that my $$$ is well spent. I think the majority of the people on this site are in the same boat.
