2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
Here are a few weights for the 2018 Accord
2018 Accord LX = 3131 pounds (compared to 3431 for Fusion S, 3296 for 2018 Camry LE)
Sport 3155 (lost 152 pounds compared to 2017)
EX 3199 (-150 pounds)
EXL 2.0 (-187 pounds compared to 2017 EXL V6)
The weight loss will probably make it close to best-in-class for acceleration and mpg.

Preliminary 0-60 times for the new Accord (Score: 1, Normal) 09-26-2017 18:23

2018 2.0T 6MT: 6.57s (very tricky to launch this one without a lot of wheelspin or bogging)
2018 2.0T 10AT Touring: 5.92s (no sweat. just brake torque and GO)
2018 Hybrid - 6.91s (just make sure the battery is juiced all the way up and launch in sport mode)
2017 Accord Touring (J35 V6): 6.45 seconds
All of these tests were conducted in the same test area under the same conditions (roughly 1700 ft above sea level, ~80-82F. The times were recorded by way of an OBD-II scanner (OBDLink MX Wifi) so they're probably not THE most accurate but at least it gives you an idea in a relative sense. I imagine we will see better times for both of the 2.0T versions.
If you're wondering, I wasn't able to perform any 0-60 testing of the 1.5T models though I did drive both 6MT and CVT versions. Hopefully I'll get a chance to drive both of them back in Atlanta soon."
"Along with the first application of structural adhesives to Accord, cabin quietness is further enhanced by a comprehensive sound-insulating package that includes full underbody covers, which also aid aerodynamics, front and rear fender and engine compartment insulators, alloy wheels with Honda-proprietary resonator technology, sound-absorbing carpet, acoustic laminated windshield glass – plus front door acoustic glass on EX and above – and a new, three-microphone Active Noise Control system."
though my local dealer (a pretty big one) is still showing almost 100 2017 Accords in stock, so they man not be in quite such a hurry to have it arrive.

Heck, maybe even Honda will put that up online!

This is what Honda said for the current generation...."Included in all Accord models, Active Noise Control (ANC) and Active Sound Control (ASC) use two microphones, a processing unit and four speakers (integral to the Accord's audio system) to collect and interpret sound entering the cabin and then deliver an out-of-phase audio signal to cancel unwanted background noise...."
Why is it still built in if all those other measures were taken to quiet the car?

I liked the car, it drove well; I think it might be worth $20K if they'd go down that much.
However, it is small. Seems significantly smaller than a GTI. Even the Elantra sedan seemed longer.
It is narrow, the seats are narrow and tight, but like I said, the car drove well and I liked how the engine performed and sounded.
I don't think it will satisfy people looking for GTI-like performance, but for those satisfied with a notch less performance it should do nicely.
I can see how people get an Audi vibe from the interior. I believe they tried to copy the A3, however, it's not as good as that. It is good for a Hyundai though.
Only real issue is they overpriced the top package that gives the pano roof. If the price was same as Elantra sedan loaded up, much better value. And if the sedan had the same power seats, I would be getting one.

Embargo gets lifted Monday, so real reviews (with driving impressions) should be coming from all over, so I suspect Honda will release the build and price page too finally.

Mpg numbers for the 1.5T are 30 in the city, 38 on the highway, combined 33. That's an increase of 3 in the city from the current Accord, 2 on the highway, and +3 overall. Beats the Camry LE by 1 mpg. But, essentially the same.
prices: 2018 Accord 1.5 Touring $33,800
LX: 23,570
EXL 29,970
Those are without destination, but are coming in lower than I guessed.
2017 Accord LX with Sensing is $24,255. In other words, if this is accurate there's a $685 price cut on the base model with Sensing for the 2018 Accord. The window sticker posted at driveaccord.net looks real, but....

The 2018 Accord EXL list for 29,970. $50 increase. Mmm. What. Might consider one of these. That's a good price for all of the improvements, power, and new features they've put into it.

The 2018 Accord LX has a slightly lower msrp at $23,570 compared to the 2018 Camry LE at $24,000 flat.
Both now have 17" tires with nice alloy wheels as standard, 225/50R17 on the Accord vs. P215/55VR17 on the Camry. This is an improvement over last year, where the Accord LX got P205/65HR16 tires, which was adequate but not impressive in terms of performance. It was just an economy tire. So now even the base Accord and Camry have decent sneakers to start out with.
In terms of mpg, it's almost a tie. The 2018 Accord is now best-in-class with an estimated combined mpg of 33, while the 2018 Camry is rated at 32. Camry and Accord are now pulling away from all of the rest of the midsize cars on this measure, with the Passat's 27 mpg more typical, with the base Ford Fusion down the list at 25. But it's maybe not as big a deal as it seems, as you'll save only about $350 a year in gas by buying a entry-level Accord over an entry-level Fusion. But over 5 years that's still $1750, which is a fair number of dinners out. But, of course, you'd probably pay about that much less for the Fusion when comparably equipped, or maybe less, and so....
In terms of standard equipment, it's mixed—sometimes the 2018 Camry LE beats the 2018 Accord LX, and sometimes it's the other way around. The Camry has a standard power driver's seat, while the Accord's is manual. But Accord has push-button start as standard, while the Camry doesn't. Accord also gets low-speed adaptive cruise, which the Camry lacks. The Camry LE comes standard with Toyota's Entune built-in navi, etc. Entune is by every account inferior to AndroidAuto, but the 2018 Accord LX doesn't get AndroidAuto. Accord does get standard lighted vanity mirrors, which the Camry lacks, but overall it seems the Camry LE is a slight winner here.
One of the biggest differences in the cars is in terms of the engine, and it seems like the Accords standard 1.5 turbo is likely to be more fun to drive than the Camry's 2.4. The 2018 Camry is slightly slower than the 2017 Camry or the 2017 Accord. Camry's 7.9 seconds 0-60 is certainly fast enough, but it looks like 2018 Accord will be at least half a second faster.
Some hate CVTs, which the Accord has, but that's probably why it gets slightly better mpg. But for that reason some may feel that the Camry's 8-speed auto is better.
Finally, for interior room and trunk space, the Accord is the winner. If you almost never use that space, then it doesn't matter, but as we have two kids and lots of luggage on trips, the Accord's 16.7 cubic foot trunk sounds better than Camry's 15.1 cubic foot one. And rear leg room in the Camry is certainly good enough at 38 inches, but Accord's 40.4 is almost what you get in brand-new Lincoln Continental.
