Errors Vs Forced Errors

The Detroit Free Press reports: ACCORD SLIPS: 2008 Honda's not bad but no longer leads midsize pack.

We're going to try some sports analogies here (we think), but sports elude us unless it's the Annual Krauss Competitive Trampolining event. Then we're glued, baby, glued.*

There's a difference between winning because you beat your opponent and winning because your opponent made a bad call. And while a win is a win is a win, one surely must be more satisfying.

Case in point is the all-new-for-2008 Honda Accord. Looking a little (to us) like the new Sebring, the Accord still exudes high quality, but based on almost every review we've read, it's sort of a dud.

Here's one example (from the link above):

It's taken 32 years, but the rest of the auto industry has caught up with -- and in some respects, passed -- the Honda Accord.

The all-new 2008 Accord isn't a bad car, but it's no longer the one car you should consider before buying anything else in its class.

It's fallen back to the pack. And not the front of the pack, for a number of reasons that include some surprising and troubling interior fit and quality flaws in the EX sedan I tested.

Fallen to the back of the pack? It's not just behind the... well, Mr. Phelan (the reviewer) doesn't mention which other cars specifically you should look at ("anything else in its class"), but every car in the class is better?

Let's take for granted Mr. Phelan is right and that the Accord has stumbled. Badly.

Is that as satisfying to GM and Ford as building a car better than the Accord when the Accord is at the top of its game?

Anyway, go, Detroit, and boo for Honda for dropping the ball some.

*By glued we really just mean sticky. Also, that's a snap of the 2008 Honda Accord. Yay or nay?

Even if the Accord is slipping or "falling bend the pack," the Civic is still kicking butt in the automotive industry. If anything, I would just say it is time to retire the Accord and let the younger generation Civic take over. It's no different than a parent leaving the family business to a child.

Ya know, you were joking, but I think you're on to something. I have not driven the new Malibu everyone's raving about, but by all accounts it is a pretty sweet ride.
I have driven the new Fusion and found it superior to a similarly priced Honda Accord. I can get a V6 with AWD for the price of a Honda FWD 4cyl. If the Fusion I test drove had more headroom it likely would be in my driveway.
The Altima, hands down, was a better car than the current Accord.
The Accord is still a pretty good car. Better, IMO, than the offerings from Chrysler and Mitsu, and on par with the Camry.
I don't know if Honda has dropped the ball so to speak or if others are catching up.
