sad sad day no more V6 manual..

[Macsrule15]

according to wikipedia

The new Accord which goes on sale in Fall of 2012 will feature three powertrains: A new direct injected "Earth Dreams" 2.4 L 4-cyl paired with either a 6-spd manual or new CVT transmission, an updated direct injected 3.5 L V6 mated to a 6-spd automatic, and a plug-in hybrid.

this is a sad day yet again that they took away the 6 speed V6

It was bound to happen... RIP manual transmissions.

i still wanna see one of those "earth dream" motors in person. i wonder if they're swappable

6-speed auto FTW.

Funny, too, cuz I just saw a thing the other day about how more Americans are driving manuals.

Once again, Honda is encouraging consumers to come up with their own ideas and feel free to design their own cars that function better.

 

[GoldnKnight22]

what?

 

[SykVSyx]

Do a swap.

What more could you ask for?

They provide a cheap, reliable base for which to start, and we/you improve on it.

Amen Kevin.

Honda is rapidly becoming worse and worse. Not only do their cars look like crap but they're boring to drive. Amazing, it's like Honda wants to suck ***.
