Aside from the Optima, I find that most of these cars aren't good looking at all.

I've seen a few new Accords on the street, and they look pretty upscale.  And all the reviews say it drives really well.  I'm happy to see Honda get back on track after so many mistakes the past few years.

Agreed - they look "right"  -  apart from the too-poor-to afford-the-V6 cutaway under the four-bangers' rear bumpers for the non-existent second tailpipe.

I really like the look of the new Accord.

The only thing I don't like is the infotainment system on the inside.  I don't understand why Honda can't grasp the concept of it.  Now it has two screens, really confusing.  Navigation is still stuck in the stone ages.  It seems like an easy fix and would yield a HUGE difference.  I mean Chrysler, of all companies, did it right.  They realized they should just pay extra, and bring in someone who knows what they're doing.  Their Garmin based system is awesome.

Yep, Chrysler did it right.  After all, If the Garmin system is good enough for Ferrari, it's good enough for Chrysler!

That's seriously what a Ferrari interior detail looks like nowadays? Yeesh. Looks like a Ferrari badge slapped on the inside of a King Ranch.

That's a great local brewery that we have. Do I drink their beer? No.

That's not the system I was referring to...

That's an old Chrysler and Ferrari.

Ok good, I was going to say, if that's what "good" passes for these days for nav systems, you shouldn't be complaining about Honda's system at all. :lol:

I have yet to find an equal to the iDrive system in my dad's 2010 5er. That thing is great- intuitive, responsive, and quick. It also has good graphics.
