I thought dealer were holding CTR's hostage to sell more Accords? ;)

Honestly the exterior styling is Ugly. The interior is nice. But really the Civic is probably the better value between the two of them. The sedan is very roomy and is probably the same size as some of the old Accord. They should just make a Accord Wagon again with the 2.0T and manual :D
Actually when I purchased my 2017 hatch, I found it to be wider than my 2002 Accord. Go figure

Wild thought: maybe Honda should have put the Accord power train inside the new Insight's shell.

I was cross shopping Accord 2.0T Sport Manual when I was shopping for my Si. That engine has ridiculous potential just by tuning and it has VTEC. Fairly comfortable too when I test drove it. It was just dull maneuvering it and had long throw (smoother though) shifter. Ultimately, Si's handling and shifter feel was better so I bought it instead.

In addition to the Civic Si offering comparable levels of performance and equipment for thousands of dollars less. And, the Civic Si gives you an LSD, adaptive dampers, and a better audio system. It's hard to justify the Accord when cross shopping between these two. I've been trying to talk myself into an Accord Sport 2.0T for months now and I just can't do it.

Who would ever think Accords would be harder to find than F'n CTR's? Next they'll be charging ADM for them.
I can see this as being fake news to inflate sales for the slow moving Accords. Just watch, as soon as Honda dealerships figures out the Accords do sell then comes the ADM’s.

Both the Insight and Accord are based on the Civic platform?

Wow!! Honda is just not trying anymore. Now the new 2019 Insight looks like a Civic. Why didn't they just call it a Civic Hybrid? Glad I have an SI Coupe.

Accord Type R is in order.....

Charge ADM to get people into the Showroom so they can walk out with a Sport......

"Exclusive" "Limited Edition" "First in the U.S." "But you are charging $70K......"

lol this post. The accord will sell number 1or number 2 as with any other year. It’s a nice looking car with all the bells and whistles , including sensing for 24 grand base model.

Im sure Honda is trying to figure out where they went wrong. I agree the Accord is a nice vehicle but IMO the little 1.5T /cvt is to blame. The more mature buyers want more than a little civic engine w/ a little extra boost.

The 1.5 and 2.0 are both faster then previous models. I test drove both of them and plan and making the 18 my new mileage bitch, lol.

In my 2nd post I stated that. But the competition "Camry" has a 2.5 8speed auto. Regardless of power it's what most educated mature buyers look at. I don't think a 2speed cvt 1.5t appeals.
