I think Honda finally did it. They finally made the Accord look better than its Acura cousin. The new RL breaks new ground in ugliness IMO and makes the new Accord look like the beauty queen of the HMC. I know it's a bit OT, but I had to let that out. I think I now have a newfound respect for the Accord.

Replying to: backy (Feb 07, 2008 12:51 pm) In the past that didn't seem to matter. People bought Hondas no matter what the price because of their reputation. Maybe that reputation doesn't hold as much water anymore with the increases in quality scores for the other mfrs. Maybe not. Definitely something to think about though.

Replying to: kdshapiro (Feb 07, 2008 2:31 pm) So far, 2008 has been a dismal for Honda. Yes, I know, it's only January. However, in my neck of the woods, two local Honda dealers have over 150 Accords in stock. I don't think that is short supply. Also, in my area (Fairfield County, CT), people don't really have liquid cash. It's all invested. They have huge mortgages, fancy cars, and no money. To make things worse, what they have invested is tanking. It's safe to say in my area, no one is going to do so well as of right now. I had a gentleman come in and try to buy a Mazda3 for his son, and since the stock took a nose dive, he could not use any of it for the car. He needed to use it for income. He needed it for income because the $175K he makes was already spent on living expenses. Sad, huh?
