Ya know, it's funny you bring that up. I've only been on the main Accord board for a couple months, there's a lot of those folks that also drive Nissans and Toyotas. And they pretty much all imply that the Hondas are considered more of a "driver's" car (because of it's taught, precise handlying characteristics) and that the Toyotas/Nissans are purchased by those that use them as an appliance (their exact word) because of their soft cushy "big buick" like ride and numb "no feeling" steering, etc.
