They put K-Y jelly on the rims to make it more aerodynamically slippery at top speed.

I knew it! I think they also put those magnet thingies on the fuel line to increase horsepower and mpg.
it’s high-gloss tire dressing, which as you know adds up to 4 mph to your top end.
I think you’ve hit on a lot of key points. But you’re also forgetting about emissions. A lot of cars are hamstrung because of emissions tuning as well. So not only could this tune cut your longevity but also possibly be poor for the environment.
Good to know. I’m always willing to hold my full judgement until I see one in person and I don’t think I have or I didn’t notice it which might be a good thing I suppose. I do like the blue they offer
I found that it looks much more poised in person. In photos it seems... droopy.
I find it quite striking in person. It looks more expensive and dare I say exotic than any previous gen Accord or anything else it competes against. But I certainly don’t blame anyone who disagrees.
Gotta love peg legged burnouts
fuel efficiency sells and reliability sells more Hondas than horsepower numbers that’s probably why.
Man a well equipped family hauler with a manual and a sweet turbo is a fine proposition but still couldn’t spend $30k on a car I can’t stand to look at.....Maybe it’s better in person?
Part of the problem with my brothers is you could basically unlock and start it with a near blank/shaved key.
Only in the US would a car being a manual act as a security device!
Its a very important point. These 90's cars (subarus and hondas) suffer from very frail theft prevention technology.
Finding a specific Subaru in Portland. This should be fun.
Just take the Gurney bump and make it a Lincoln bump.
And no-one bothers to bring you an orange sherbet!
