No... not so much. I think it's more annoying that the Altima got left out. Rest assured both C&D, MT, and any other auto rags doing this comparo are going to get a spate of Fresh Alloy fanatics writing in angry letters crying Honda bias and how the Altima 3.5SE would have easily trounced the Accord and been the obvious winner across the board. And out of journalistic integrity, the February "Letters of the Editor" are going to be filled with these letters.
Hooray.
Why does it matter that it's Turbo 4 and AWD, when it make similar HP/TQ, similar priced, and similar sized? Just because Subaru doesn't have FWD cars doesn't mean they should be excluded when the Legacy is in the mid-size sedan segment.
