most notably in highway numbers where the accord beats out both the tC and solara. the solara and accord get an equal rating for the city with the tC falling behind.
how about the new hatches:
only the yaris features better fuel economy over the Fit, with the xA, versa and aveo falling short.
besides the versa it also has the most powerful engine.
:edit:
it seems to me that smalll economical cars has ben honda's strong point. just because they havent been in style for over 15 years doesnt change the fact that honda started out as a small scooter and motorcycle company, the heart of the company still lies in smaller cars, and it's the reason the larger engines have been lacking.
