You don't hear mag editors talking about the odd thumping on an Accord like they do a Sonata. I'm not talking dbs. I'm talking the V and H, something Hyundai needs to fix on this car.

Replying to: goodegg (Aug 09, 2007 1:37 pm) The 08 Accord to my eyes, at least the front end, resembles somewhat to the current Sonata, especially the headlight. Stats are misleading Believe what you want to believe. It's funny how cars like the Sonata, when it performs well in various areas, you'd get comments like this from the naysayers. When it's the other way around, well, everything seems to be invisible. The Accord is a competent car, the Sonata is a competent. Appreciate the choices you have out there, only when you have competitions out there, the vehicles keep improving.

Replying to: joe97 (Aug 09, 2007 4:14 pm) Interesting observation considering most people thought the Sonata snagged the Accord's rear and tailights for their "new" design. You know what they say about imitation. I do realize that all these cars do share a lot of styling cues. How can't they? But Hyundai just doesn't seem to attend the 21'st century design school like the others in this comparo. Even the Azera is a yawner. I think the Genesis has potential.

Replying to: lilengineerboy (Aug 09, 2007 7:44 am)  It's too bad the Legacy and Mazda6 won't be making their wagons anymore, but with the Outback and CX-7, there's still good alternatives for buyers of both brands. So from a practical/utility perspective, the Mazda6 and the Passat will be the only cars in this class that will have an expanded cargo carrying capacity over a standard sedan... too bad too, I'd think the average person/family would find extra hauling space would be a good feature that would take away the appeal from heavier and less efficient SUV's which are also more rollover prone.

Here is something the 2008 Accord won't have but the 2008 Fusion will. http://blip.tv/file/299867
