This is information directly from the future vehicles section of Honda's consumer website. It sheds light on the more advanced features and on which trim levels they will be available. I've never seen this info before so I hope it is useful to you guys.

Lane Departure Warning- EX-L and above
Forward Collision Warning-EX-L and above
LaneWatch-EX sedan and above, EX-L coupe and above
Aha radio integrated into HondaLink-EX-L sedan and above, EX coupe and above.
I typed this on my phone so I apologize for any errors or omissions.

Just a few thoughts: Although I personally like leather, and I usually choose it, I do not like that Honda bundles features with the EX-L trim level. I think the only things that should differentiate the EX and EX-L are leather, seat heaters, and maybe an extra power seat. Still, it seems like you get plenty of bang for your buck as these are rather cutting edge features for this class of vehicle, and we haven't even seen the touring trim yet!
Also, I find it strange that there are differences between the trim levels on the coupe and sedan...I personally think they should be the same, but I guess Honda thinks that the EX coupe buyers want Aha radio, while EX sedan buyers prioritize LaneWatch. Maybe they think the sedan buyers are more prudent and the coupe buyers more tech-savvy and exciting? Who knows.

Minor foibles aside, I'm starting to be a really big fan of this Accord. It looks nice, the power trains should be very competitive, and it has lots of new tech features at low price points (which Honda has not been doing lately). I anticipate that it will be well received by the press and will sell very well without huge incentives.
