No.
Over engineered. Too many gimmicks. Hybrid. Rides like shite based on the look of tires/wheels, and tire replacement will be often and expensive (see low profile curb grabbing wheels).
Why does every damn car manufacturer nowadays think that sticking a 10" screen in the middle of the dash looks like anything other than an afterthought?

They actually do AWD very well even the NSX has a version of SH-AWD. From their POV they see AWD as a better option for 99% of SUV customers which is probably correct since AWD is better on pavement in almost any condition.

Honda is an odd company in some ways. They are extremely diverse in some ways and yet eschew some of the large US market sectors.

This falls into the same category as fat chicks and mopeds.

That thing is not going to get 45 MPG unless you are doing highway driving in Kansas and Oklahoma.

And replacing that 10k battery in 10 years is going to be awesome also.

I could get 41 mpg on my commute from Baton Rouge to Metairie in my 2016 4 cylinder Accord if I stayed around 65 mph on I-10. It would drop to 37 mpg if I cruised at 72-75.

45 mpg is absolutely reasonable for a hybrid 7 years later in 2023.

My 2007 Honda Accord got 25 mpg just for reference of improvement.

I have forgotten more about cars than you will ever know about them.
You are not getting 45MPG out of it under normal daily driver commuting conditions. EPA estimate might be 45, but that is not realistic.

If I got it as a rental, sure.

Honda really missed the boat on the redesign of the Accord/Civic and even CR-V. Took all the personality away.

Agree with some of the other posters that the last body style with the sport wheels was a head turner even for a midsize sedan.

They discontinued their Accord hybrid the first go around due to low sales.

The hybrids are great until you have to replace the battery. If you dump it before then I guess that works but resale would suck I assume.

As far as looks, it looks very bland and boring.

I wouldn't buy one if I were in the market for that kind of car.

My Accord Touring gets 45+ mixed city/highway, real world. I have Trip B set to reset at every fill up, so I look immediately before. City is actually markedly better if I’m looking trip to trip. And the battery is like $2,500. I think I’ll survive.

Eta: EPA estimate on mine is 48/48

That's going to be a tall order for a midsize truck in the near future.
