I have a 2011 Accord coupe on lease. I'd light it on fire and let it burn to the ground if it wasn't illegal.

Haven't been a honda fan since 2001, but why?

I was just wondering the other day if TOV still existed: I guess it does. I'm a big Honda fan from way back and have owned many. The move to struts in the Accord is typical modern day Honda. They just build appliances, quite well I might add, but there is no passion in their cars anymore. I too currently lease an Accord ('12 sedan) for my wife and think it is a decent car for her. I like it for trips as it has good room and gets good MPG for its size. However for someone who is a car guy I would never buy one for myself as they are completely boring and I would grow tired of driving it daily very quickly.

I've always liked Honda's engines . Also, I think their chassis are dynamic and communicative.

For design, power, and performance: Nissan is much better.

Not bad! I currently own a Lexus and a Mazda. But I want to stick with Toyota or Honda for my next vehicle. So much more reliable.

Hondas are nice, yet in my mind I always think Honda=ricer, maybe because almost every Honda in my town looks like one....

but Hondas have always been affordable and reliable cars, just not for me Nissan is where its at the altimas imo have taken over the sedan segment against the accord/camry,

espcecially in terms of styling

The V6 Accord can hold its own in a straight line, but has anyone else ever driven one?

The pedals are atrocious. Gas has very short, weak travel, and the brakes have no feedback. Plus numb steering. The numbness of everything in that car plus the boosted steering made driving one less exciting than my old camry, in which you could at least feel some of the road surface.
