I guess high performance means you have to have a sunroof and a spare tire. Seems like a no brainer to me. If I was willing to pay more for for a faster Accord, I certainly expect it to have as many features as the EX V6. But then again, as evidenced by the RX400h and Highlander Hybrid, maybe the message of "hybrid for performance" isn't coming across clearly enough. Marketing needs to step up.
