That was mainly because of the amazing 10
speed in the Accord, but also this is the base powertrain being compared to the top powertrain Accord. I’m sure a Camry GR/TRD will follow later with around 300HP and that will for sure be quicker than the top engine in the current Accord
Maybe, we don’t know if there will be a bigger engine yet.
And it seems like you’re right. The amazing 10AT was a big reason as to why it got to 60 so quickly. I know this because the 6MT 2.0T was about half a second slower putting it behind the Toyota Camry, however I don’t think it’s quite fair to compare a manual gearbox to an automatic because the Camry was only available with an automatic.
Yeah that’s fair, I honestly would still take the 6 speed, it’s a shame Honda discontinued it but I’m sure it didn’t make sense form a sales perspective.
I think Toyota or aisin made the v6 Camry 8speed intentionally weak off the line to prevent transmission failure. I had a 12 Camry V6 and after I put wider tires on it, it launched really well. Better than the current TRD Camry.

Basically anything fun Honda did/does doesn’t make sense from a sales perspective.
