Damn marketing and japanese fanboys. Discuss.


***V6's meaning the ones in a non sporty (as much you want to believe it is, sorry it is not) Honda and does not apply to any other V6's that will be thrown into the OP's face as proof that they do, including but not limited to TT V6's. V6's built for races, or BMW inline 6's.

and mustangs are sh!t in the twisties. big deal.

assuming screaming is good. some american muscle cars sound like they are trying too hard.

Take the traction control off. It's not a sports car but it's sportiest of the cars that's in the same category.

I just thought it's kind of funny that a v6 accord coupe is faster than a v6 mustang.

No, no it is not. Sporty is not adding a fin and getting 0-60 up to 6.0 seconds from 6.3.

Anyone who disagrees must be a Honda or similar car owner. Too bad it is not sporty, must suck if that is what made you buy it.

I'm gonna have to go with the definition of 'sporty' on m-w.

Definition

resembling a sports car in styling or performance <a sporty sedan>

Seems to me an accord can be sporty.
