Why would anyone need paddle shifters on the models with a CVT (which the article states is part of the Sport package)???
Why is this cheaper than the Golf in Europe?
I used like Honda design. What happened to them? This Accord is ugly as hell. No wonder Koreans are selling more of their cars.
Maybe Honda should take the hint and poach a decent designer like Kia did with Schreyer.
