The Accord not having push button start and memorized seat and tilt wheel settings is one of the things that makes me want to spend more on another G35. I have had a G35 for three years and have not had to replace the battery in the key fob.

For me, that isn't a big deal, I am the only one driving my car, so having memory wouldn't be crucial. Now, if your in a household that more than one driver is driving that car, than that would be awesome! We all have our own settings. I don't see Accord doing this, as Acura, being a Honda upper level Honda has a few options like this. The next car that would compare perhaps with a few options you stated, would be the TSX.

Even with only one person the memory function in the G is pretty cool. When you turn the car off and open the door the wheel tilts all the way up and the seat goes all the way back for easy exit and entrance.

Sounds similar to what I saw in the Ford Taurus Limited when my parents were purchasing their car. You don't have to spend Infiniti money to get that feature.  I'm guessing you wouldn't be caught dead in the new Taurus if you are currently in an Infiniti now, though.

I know I wouldn't touch a new Taurus, and I consider myself a Ford person, of the domestics that is. Dodge is a very close second. Anyway, the Taurus has that corporate face of Ford that's become popular in the last few years. It's very difficult to look at.
They're starting to look like Chevy's. Puke. 
Though they're saying that the reliability matches that of Toyota. I'd say that is a very big nod to Toyota. What a selling point eh?
Anyway what happened to the topic of this portion of the thread, push-button start? 
Just kidding. It's fun peeking around.

Funny thing is I am sure you can lease an Accord EXL or maybe even a G35 for less then a Taurus

More than likely. I'd take an EX-L over the Taurus. I'm not sure I like the G35.
I've been peaking around some of the other forums and have noticed that some people think the Accord are piles, but then again these are the same people that aren't performing any maintenance and getting confused when the car breaks down.

I have no clue on leasing (I don't care to ever do it). I know that the Taurus equivalent to an EX-L Accord (but nicer with Sync, Leather, Dual Auto Climate, 6CD, Auto Headlamps, 263hp, 6-sp Auto) was $22k OTD, which is only hundreds higher than the quote we received on an LX Accord, from the dealer we'd previously bought over a dozen Hondas from. Now, I know this was a too-high price on the Honda (should be $20k or less, not $21,xxx for an LX). Still, the Ford represented a great value.
Back our regularly scheduled programming.

But, the Taurus is no Honda though...lol. For me, I would later realize, that the honda, though more of a premium, but at some point you get what you pay for. The Honda is truly amazing. But, that is coming from someone who loves Honda.
I have my eye on the new Accord, TSX, or the new TL for my next lease...that will be tough. The TSX, with paddleshifters would be alot of fun! Looks futuristic as well.
But, I could get a Black EX-L Accord V6, with tinted windows... very sharp!

There comes a point when "Being a Honda" isn't enough. I never thought I'd see it, but the new Accord isn't going to do it for me. After driving both an Accord and a Taurus, I'd pick the Taurus if it were my money.
Should we create a Taurus v. Accord forum?
