GTO,

I think it would be a pretty even match if the skoda just had 6" more legroom... a octavia 1.9TDI L if you may, as that seems to be the major disadvantage... i would probably convert my vote from the accord if that was to happen!

I do agree with Rehaan. It looks like nothing on earth.

another resident designer masterpiece. i wonder if anybody goes out and buys these. i wouldn't trust this guys chassis lengthening skills with my scaled model cars, whatever i own. did anybody notice the massive shutlines near the hood?or is it just due to my sleep deprivation.

Not only in India...Even in the United States, the Accord V6 sedan is sold ONLY with an automatic transmission. There is a delicious 6 speed manual on the Coupe though.
