The Euro accord doesn't need any help, it's the US accord that needs major help. Cheap schocks and clunky suspension over bumps defines this newest US version.

Forgot to mention really bad ride quality too with no benefits to handling.

I've been in the full spec Accord V6 coupe. It's not as quiet as the previous generation but I don't think it's that bad. It's livable and with the price tag the consumers can't and shouldn't complain. The TSX is equally as loud as the Accord which shouldn't be the case. As for handling it's definitely not sporting but it's not poor quality ride (as long as you're sitting in the passenger seat) you won't feel much vibrations up the spine.

I didn't realize FWD cars needed that much downforce at the rear.

No they don't, but that's a Mugen spec vehicle and that's their trademark wing.

Today Honda withdrew from Formula 1 with immediate effect. Sad news. It's due to financial reasons.

Also today FIA announced Cosworth as the sole engine supplier. I think that also played a part in Honda quitting F1.

F1 in trouble, especially following the sole engine supplier announcement. Toyota and Ferrari have already warned about this and also recentley Double World Champion Alonso hinted of quitting F1 if sole engine supplier rule is given go ahead.

That is a sad story. Honda F1 was the 3rd largest budget in F!.

I bet my money that their "financial" reason to quit is not true. The one engine manufacturing, the change of regulations each year and the bad management of F1 are the real reasons.

You can't spend lots of money on R&D for engines, transmitions, and many more just to throw it to the garbage since now only one engine manufacture will be available.

Honda is mainly an engine company!!! When no engine restrictions were taken, Honda won 5 straight championships. Now that you restrict it to some clown engine supplier, i don't see any point in viewing the F1.

As an engineer, I can't see what new things the F1 will bring to the auto industry. In fact, it is technologically behind the private car market

Nice body kit, at least for people in the US with the TSX has an option to get this mugen grill instead of the ugly stock grill that they come with. I dont' know about the spoiler, they should of used a flush mount design instead similar to the previous euro/jdm accord and tsx
