Correct, I just read an article in the Economic Times that expressed concern over why Honda is not expanding manufacturing capacity in India. Tata and Hyundai have been two of the many manufacturers who are agressively seeking to improve on their output quantity.

Nope, The Accord 4 cylinder will always stay the mainstream model, while the V6 is an effort at that much more premium positioning.

I would place my money on the 1.7 Vtec option, though slightly detuned to adjust for the local fuel conditions.
