"The Accord for 2008 is available as a sedan, which has grown large enough to be classified a large car by the EPA, or a coupe. There are three basic engines available, including a 3.5L iVTEC V6 producing 273 horsepower and 250 ft-lbs. of torque. Do the math and you'll realize the '08 Accord with this engine is the most powerful Honda ever produced. It also features a new Variable Cylinder Management system when ordered in the sedan that can power the vehicle on three, four or all six cylinders to achieve an excellent 19/29 mpg. The other two mills are a 2.4L inline-four producing 200 horsepower/170 ft-lbs., and another 2.4L producing 180 horsepower/166 ft-lbs. All models of the '08 Accord can be ordered with a five-speed automatic, while four-cylinder models can also be had with a 5-speed manual transmission, and the V6 Coupe can be optioned with a six-speed manual."

why would they make 2 2.4L engine? The both make about the same power and torque. Well 20 less horses from the 2.4 base.

if honda can do it, why can't toyota make a v6 camry with a six speed manual?

hard to believe that these boring family haulers can be had with over 250 hp.

I absolutely love the look of the Accord Coupe! The Sedan is meant more for the mainstream family market and I don't like it as much. I agree about the Manual Transmission thing.... Toyota really needs to get a "toyota badged" car with a 6-Speed Manual, and maybe even one up honda and go with a RWD platform! I still love my tC and think Toyota has a great car in the tC but they need to take that philosophy and the philosophy of the IS350/250 and bring it down to the Toyota brand.

I have a 6 speed toyota. :D

Hmm, really don't like the new accord. Looks almost like a chevy. The grill looks way too much like the honda truck.

AKAvensis

looks like an attempt to copy the new BMW 3-Series coupe..

too bad it has none of the finess or gracefull styling of it.

i agree, toyota never puts the manuals in the cars with more power, its lame.
