I'd definitely test drive a 1.5T before I wrote it off.

That's the rumor
Potentially an Accord Type R or some performance variant with thr CTR engine

Oh that's promising. Gives me some hope! We can hold off until next year (assuming nothing major with my 2004) and probably best anyhow price wise as many expect sales of new cars to be impacted by higher interest rates and recession plus I don't like to buy first year of a new generation but Honda and Toyota are usually GTG on that.

I'm glad we decided to trade our 2015 V6 Accord in for a 2017 V6 Accord in 2021. Last year of the V6, it was an upgrade with the Sensing in it which I have come to really like. I've read the 2.0T is just as fast, if not slightly faster than the V6, but I didn't want the additional potential headaches and expense related to that.

I thought Honda just came out with a brand new V6 matching the competition with DOHC. I guess it’s won’t be available in the Accord?

No timing belt on the 2.0T

Odyssey/Pulot/Ridgeline only, IIRC

Previous generation also had a 6MT available on some trims that had the 2.0T.

Still regret not buying one to replace my daily driver when they were still available.

Only the Sport trim I belive.
I don't think the EX had it & know the Touring was 10AT only.

Well, I posted this in another thread, but will repeat here.
I bought a new 2018 Accord Touring 2.0 when they first came out. I enjoy driving it immensely, more than my previous Acura Integra 1st gen, 1991 Acura Legend, 2005 Acura TSX. It's been almost trouble-free; recently had to replace the AC condenser which was done under Honda extended warranty. I get about 26-27 mpg mixed town and freeway.

When I bought it I first drove the 1.5 T model with CVT. The difference between driving that and driving the 2.0 T with 10-speed auto trans was night and day. Acceleration is as good as I can comfortably handle. Per C&D 0-60 was 5.4 seconds. They tested the 2023 Hybrid at 6.6 seconds in an article that moaned and wailed over the loss of the 2.0 T model.

So now that I know that my Accord will be the best ICE family sedan ever to be built, I guess I will have to keep it. I would consider trading it only to get a bigger vehicle to carry the grandkids around in.

I have a 2018 Hyundai Sonata Limited with a 2L turbo and 8-speed dual clutch transmission. It’s wonderful. Every one of its many features work just as I expect, and hope.

But nowadays the Sonata comes only with a smaller turbo. snif

Grumpy, just a tip here. Spend the extra dollar for Premium, you'll get better fueld economy and probably gain about 40 HP. I have a 2019 Ford Fiesta ST which features a 1.6L Turbo. Per Ford with premium horsepower is rated at 197 HP. With 89 octane it's rated at 160 HP. Note, Ford doesn't make and indications in regards to fuel economy but my personal observation is that when I happen on an Octane Cheater (Sunoco quite often) my fuel economy will immediately drop in the mileage display and long trips has revealed it works out to a 4 mpg loss.

He won’t gain any HP or fuel economy running premium in his naturally aspirated V-6 that was designed to run on 87 octane fuel.

Your turbocharged motor was designed to run on 93 octane. Your engine’s computer will read the knock sensors when you run lower octane fuel and retard the timing and reduce boost automatically to compensate for the lower octane which does reduce power. That’s what my Focus ST and my wife’s Explorer ST do as well when we use lower octane fuel.

Back to the thread at hand:

I’ve had 5 Hondas, 4 manuals and 1 automatic. My parents have had to Acura Legends. All great cars, but Honda and Acura no longer make cars I’m interested in.
