Back to that apples to oranges thing... The v6 accord engine is: 1) Due to be replaced with a new one in a year cuz the current one is out of the legend, and is very expensive to build (haven't seen so many gizmos operating 24valves since the V-tec) and 2) the new minivan is only offered with a four banger, and the 6 will probably take a back seat (cool the way it disappears on the honda tho) to filling the accord demand, my guess is, not till 97 at the earliest.... I have a couple accords in the extended family, and all I will say is that, look at it like a bic, it does the job it's asked to do, looks good doing it, but when it's useful life is over, don't refill (rebuild) it and/or modify it... Just retire it to a nice pail... Heck, my brother put $1g into a susp kit for his accord, went to align it and found there's no camber adj... The audi's and BMW, tho far from perfect, at least admit to the fact that parts will fail and need service, so why not engineer that admission into the design of the parts... Too much coffee this morn' I guess dock my .02 Scott
