I was hoping to read something about the attention paid to maintaining the Accord spirit of sporty driving dynamics and handling, rather than cargo space and packaging.

I was hoping to see some mention of the effort placed into weight reduction and stream lining rather than the most sculpted Accord ever.

Just as with everything else, any reveals on that would be giving away the store! As I've said in prior threads, the level of secrecy on this model is high, even for Honda.

The last time that happen is the 2012 Civic, and look what happened.. they probably want to take a different direction for this one.

Somehow I was half expecting the suspension to be reduced to torsion beam too....
