While this is true, I think it has grown to the point of being obese
and this is what the OP is trying to point out. It is almost in Avalon
and 300 territory, and surpasses the Explorer and Pilot in length.

It is bigger, yes, and as I get older I prefer larger cars. As much as I
would love another Civic for its better gas mileage, I could no longer go
back to one after 4-1/2 years with my 2004 Accord. So I'M not complaining.

Yes, this is my point. It is as if it is not an Accord anymore.

The same can be said of the last six generations.
Ever seen what was called an accord in 1981?
Every generation since has grown heavier and larger.

Well, it isn't just an Accord anymore. The Acura TL is built in the
same factory on the Accord platform. But I like the interior room of
the new Accord. I think the '81 Accord has been functionally replaced
by the Fit.
