No more V6 in the Accord. I wonder when the Camry will lose its V6… [image] The Honda Accord V6 Is Dead For the past two or three decades, you had a choice when you bought your midsize sedan: you could go with the four-cylinder and sip gas but be relegated to appalling right-lane submis…

The car could be sold either way; OEM pack you own or rental pack. That way, if you start out renting a pack, you don’t have to surrender your brand new one and get a beater in exchange. Yeah, I agree the range is improving but there will always be people that forget to plug it in at night or leave…

I’ve been toying with converting my MR2 to electric. The engine leaks oil and at nearly 200,000 miles is tired anyway. It’d cost 5 grand+battery. I haven’t pulled the trigger yet, but I keep looking at the kit. The plus side is that it’d be a lot faster than it is now. The downside is putting probab…

[image] TwinTurbo: I said many years ago on this site, what would be a game changer is something like the Blue Rhino of power packs. And I posted some time ago a battery with liquid electrodes would allow the spent material to be pumped out and fresh pumped in almost as fast as filling with p…

If EV carmakers can’t even come up with a common standard for charging systems (Tesla is different), no WAY they’ll come up with interchangeable batteries (not that I think they’d be a good idea).

The aftermarket is already taking care of that. https://longtailpipe.com/2015/11/09/new-ev-charging-adapter-lets-j1772-car-owners-use-tesla-hpwc-charging-stations-cool-or-theft/ New product that adapts normal EV chargers to Tesla’s outlets.

I agree with Honda’s move. I’m much more interested in horsepower and torque than the mere number of cylinders. Personally, I’d rather have a four cylinder 2.3-liter engine than a six cylinder 2.3-liter engine, for a variety of reasons, mostly related to ease of maintenance on a four cylinder engi…

Honda’s new four is more powerful than the V6 it replaces.

You said in the Civic Type R it is more powerful, but it isn’t clear that the exact engine (same power) will be used in the Accord, is it? Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure it will be powerful. As I mentioned, my son in law bought a 2016, and there is enough power to get you down the road. If I buy an A…

You’re right, final hp hasn’t been announced. But I bet the 2L turbo beats the 3.5L, maybe not by much, but it’ll let them brag “Better mpgs AND more power!”
