2011 Honda Accord receives the best possible safety rating in new crash tests

When you can't sell a car because of looks, performance, appeal, or any other category. You can always follow the Toyota method and try and sell safety, or "piece of mind".

So we know you're driving a great looking, fast, unreliable and unsafe vehicle?

And why the Toyota reference? This is a Honda article you troll.

Are you aware that this is still the 2nd best selling car in the US?

What's funny is I'm not a troll. I just hate Honda at the moment since they have nothing appealing. They have lost their edge and to me the model lineup is dull. Toyota has completely lost their way by advertising for "piece of mind", hence my comparison that they cannot even promote the models cause they know how beige they are. The Honda "Mr. Opportunity" ads started coming out a few years back and did nothing to promote the models offered. The company is just a let down;

-Civic needs a better update than the one they are working on now (based on spy info)
-Ridgeline was left to die
-S2000 is dead
-Accord got boxier and went backwards in evolution (LED taillamps back to bulbs for example)
-Pilot turned into a boxy Nissan Pathfinder and added oversized headlamps instead of the sleek projectors offered last generation
-Insight is a poorly copied Prius
-CR-Z was touted as a performance hybrid but fails majorly as it should be offered w/ or w/o a hybrid powerplant (turbo 4 maybe)
-Accord CrossTour was a fail from inception, a non TSX wagon would have been better for the masses

These are obviously my opinions which is the whole premise behind forums and websites like this. Your like, my dislike.

And as a matter of fact I drive a 2005 Toyota Matrix XR AWD (if you bothered to look around my "troll" posts you would have seen that) with 120,000 miles on the ticker. It's dull, unsporty, beige, and safe. But it's my car and since I don't find it financially beneficial to run out and buy a BMW or anything else right now I stick with it and save myself $400 a month in car payments. The type of car I drive has no bearing on my intelligence or my opinions of other cars in the world today. I guess you measure people by what they drive, which is about as shallow as a 16 year old girl thinking cool cars make cool guys.

Your last sentence makes no sense considering my post. My question still stands. Why the Toyota reference?

this article is not actually an ad from Honda. This is an objective story. Honda has always made a comfortable, reliable vehicle. Maybe not the most exciting thing on the road, but it stays on the road and not in the repair shop. Having one of the safest vehicles on the road is just icing on the cake. Cars come in all shapes and sizes and shapes, for different tastes. It is not really fair of you to blow your negative feelings just because you can't afford the car of your dreams. To many, a new Honda is the car of their dreams.

Honda, like it's competitors, cannot afford to build many narrowly focused models like they did 15 or 20 years ago. The Accord is meant to appeal to a wider audience.
It's too bad this model has grown so large in size. I won't buy another one unless they downsize the thing back to the ideal diminsions of years ago.
I also think quality has slipped a bit on the interiors. While the Accord feels a little "sportier" than most of the cars in this class, they don't have the edge they had years ago.
I've had Hondas for 27 years. When you look back at the company in the late '80's and the direction they where headed, how did we end up here??

I can't imagine how such an ugly car made it to production and even worse, a re-fresh. I guess it's just me because it's second best selling.
