2014 Honda Accord V6 Coupe 6MT Long-Term Test: 37,000 Miles and Counting

Cars were dirty, stinking things when I was a kid. They've never been cleaner. You hardly ever see a car smoking out the tail pipe or smell it running rich these days, even the most clapped out 20 year old POS. Hybrids are even cleaner.
