Took you a long, hard time to find that C/D comparo in which the Accord placed first, didn't it?
Note that C/D didn't test the Sonata SE, which has sharper handling than the GLS and Limited. And that's what those folks at C/D and MT like.
But then it looks like the Sonata did out-refine the Camry at least, according to both MT and C/D. Also C/D ranked the Optima ahead of the Camry the last time they tested those two together.

Not really. It's not the only one. The Accord has won more than just 1 comparison.

Proof reading is not my strong suit.
Thick skin, I have thick skin dammit!

I think that was why he had a after his comment.

IIRC, it's similar to the ;-P icon, in which one uses if they make a joke, of if they're teasing or making fun of someone without trying to be offensive.

This discussion just illustrates to me that these professional reviews cannot be taken as gospel. I like the comparisons like 0-60 times, stopping distances etc. because that is a lot more apples to apples.
I remember the comparison that somebody did that compared a V6 Sonata Ltd. to an I4 something else because they were the same price. That's really helpful.

I guess your computer does not translate the Icons. "pblt" symbol is supposed to be the "sick" looking icon.

If you mean by translate the fact that as you scroll across the icons a definition pops saying "smile", "grin", etc., yes my computer does that. But when it comes to that symbol it just says "pblt". I googled "pblt" and get nothing even from slang internet language. Don't mean to take up a lot of time but was just curious. Doesn't look like this forum is that active this morning so I don't think I'm depriving anyone of valuable airtime.
