I had no idea about that, i do no that about the previous model, they are offered here as fleet cars and taxi's but not the new model. In a phase the Honda accord that was made for american taste,(98-02) was sold here onlee as fleet for about 2.5, 3 years at most , mainlly as a "HONDA" not to trip up the Accord that was already here, but it was sold mainlly for taxi, rental and commercial duty, and then sales halted after 2 years and the last were, well i dont kno wut happened, Most models were V6 and had transmission issues i think. And usuing it as commercial and taxi would bring it out right away.But here Toyota has a great resale , maybe cause it also has more models that also still carry turbo and so forth. I think they both have great build quality, but as for 80-97 Honda could not touch Toyota's reliability and build quality.
