Agreed, I wonder at times
Agreed, I wonder at times about Acura and what their strategy is. I live in the Chicago area and the Auto Show is this week so I am going to go there and check out a number of cars. As for the new Accord, the prudent thing is to wait until the 2019 comes out which is generally in the fall timeframe I believe. Regardless, I will drive one once the snow melts and check it out myself. Based on everything I have read, I suspect I will like it very much. I will also check around the various Honda dealerships and see if any offer loaner cars (that would be awesome if they did).
The other feature I hear is missing is the fact the passenger front seat cannot be raised/lowered. Not sure if that is true but have read that complaint in a number of places. That and the robot voice telling you to buckle your seat belt LOL.
