Great point - easiest way to fine tune handling/ride is with tires. Just start with a good car to begin with, like the Accord

Who says watching NASCAR is a waste? Lol. Got the idea to use tires to change ride comfort when I noticed the race car teams were changing the handling of the cars with 1 lb. increments in tire pressures.

Those tiny nubs are too small to be felt through winter gloves. Overall I love how the current Accord fits me, but they've been getting uglier the last 3 generations.
 
I do wish that more attention was put on fundamentals, like better brakes and tires versus ABS, VSC, etc. or ride quality versus cluttering the car with electronic features.
 
Maybe I'm getting old, but being old (or in the minority) doesn't make me wrong. (After all I used to own a Saab which also has wonderful ergonomics and is designed with winter driving in mind.) Like many brands, Saab's biggest problem is a weak dealer network. Mine came from a small family owned dealership that has now sold only Saab for 50 years (in Flint Michigan, home of Buick and the UAW). You don't survive that long under that hostile of environment (that has been economically depressed for most of that time) without doing lots of things right.

Happy Harvick, yes . Tony Stewart, not so much . The #8 will probably be #81 next year.

'too many buttons to process! wah wah wah'! come on!!!!
 
Well it's not too many buttons to process, but my objection is that they are all crammed into one small area of the dash that looks like it's bloated like a beer belly.
 
I went back to the picture and counted 45 separate buttons jammed onto that panel! Look at the current Accord. It has almost as many features and buttons, but some buttons are at the bottom, some buttons are along the side of the navigation screen, etc. Good spacing means better control especially while driving.
 
Speaking of buttons did anyone notice the unlabeled buttons on either side of the panel that have a red dot and blue dot above and below them? Are those the seat temperature controls? Is it possible the new accord will have cooled seats??? I live in the desert, and I'm hoping the answer is yes.

Know what you mean about 20 but he's a heck of a driver. So long as the Busch's don't win, I'm good.

I just prefer a cleaner look.

Didn't like the Avalon Touring suspension. Preferred either Camry to it. Had considered it because you can get leather and vehicle stability control without a lot of useless options.
