So their judgement about the styling is wrong because you disagree with it but their judgement about the engine is right because you agree? Got it.
It is a shame that engine is gone, but I understand why it’s gone.
Stopped by MB today on my way up to get the Pacifica washed (finally after the trip) got to see the new Moonlight White that replaces rhe Diamond White my car is. Much better! One issue I have always had with the diamond white is it can look cream-ish in some lighting.

This is the old diamond white, the color my car is. You can see in this lighting it looks creamier
Yeah I have always thought about having that section blacked out

I like the Moonlight White. Our X3 is Mineral White Metallic which also is similar to Lexus pearl white. We've been happy with it so far. BMW also has Arctic White which isn't metallic.

I LOVE Mineral White. I just don’t personally like yellow or cream tinges to white which is what bugs me about mine

And I was simply pointing out that Car and Driver themself is disappointed as well that the good engine is gone, not just me. More than .0000001% of the population cares about a decent engine.

Say what?? You really make this more complicated than it has to be. I think the previous gen looked a lot better, and the one before that (that offered a V6) too. This new Accord looks pretty good everywhere but the rear, but it's pretty boring. Last 2 gens looked great.

And being disappointed the engine is gone and saying Honda should bring it back are different things. Of course C&D is disappointed about the engine, they are an enthusiast magazine. Most people are not enthusiasts, and certainly most people who buy Accords are not. I'm disappointed its gone, but I don't think Honda should bring it back, they don't need to. Anyways don't you hate 4 cyls?
From the C&D article you posted:
While low take rates are largely to blame for those calls
In other words nobody bought it.

That doesn't mean it's better than what it replaced.
And I do hate 4 cylinder engines, but if anyone can do them right it's Honda. They've had all kinds of monster 4 cylinder cars in the past.
I'm equally nauseated that the Camry lost the V6 and is hybrid only, but not surprised.

Camry lost the V6 also because nobody bought it.
