My 2012 CRV EX trim has bluetooth as well.
I doubt this will change for the Accord EX.
I really like the look for the new accord. Hope we can get an Accord EX 4cly with regular shifting transmission as I dont care about the CVT.
Anyone know if both transmissions will be offered??

This is actually a whole lot better than I was expecting. It's NOT the Crossturd front-end like they've also put on the CR-V and actually looks nice. It's almost unavoidable that certain styling elements are going to resemble other cars these days so I don't really hold that against them. Looking forward to full specs and hope they actually drive nice.

The GS 350 rear looks like a Sonata.

I did find the Accord more interesting and better looking than the Camry though I do like the Camry SE touches. Both look very unspectacular to the Kia Optima or the new Altima which I think looks really good in person and I would think I have a good eye for design.
Now this is the issue with Hyundai design (or a design that copies) when they copy which I stated before. The Accord had that same general shape as the new model, the taillights do share some Gen similarities. The thing is the Accord had that same look for sometime. The Genesis is a blatant copy of everything.
So its really not Honda's fault that their Accord now looks like the Genesis from the rear since they were going to have an evolutionary design.

Design is subjective though in many cases ugly is just ugly and you have to look at what sources think is ugly and what vehicles they drive before absorbing their opinion. Many feel the Accord last gen was ugly and the Camry was bland. Both are not design leaders in any way shape as form they are to sell 250k-400k copies a year and they need to stay conservative. I feel both are safe and fine for the masses.

I agree with your points on the Optima,Altima and Hyundai.

I see Honda is still super stingy with the options. So you can't get basic, run-of-the-mill homelink to open your garage door unless you buy the top of the line EX with leather and V6? Come on Honda, you are making a fool of yourself!

The 3.5L in the new Accord is all new, including DI. It's rumored to to have an output of about 310HP. Yes, that'll do.
