2013 Honda Accord Gets Sport Model, CVT For 4-Cylinders, 6-Speed Manual For Certain Trims

A leaked spec sheet (from Temple of VTEC)  for the 2013 Honda Accord shows that manuals aren't dead yet, but CVTs are also in – at least for 4 cylinder models. The CVT will replace Honda's automatic transmission for 4-cylinder Accords, while V6 cars will retain the option of a 6-speed automatic gearbox. The 6-speed manual will be offered on all 4-cylinder sedans save for the EX-L. V6 sedans will be available only with the automatic, while 4-cylinder and V6 coupes can be had with the stick shift. Those who want a two pedal coupe can choose from a 4-cylinder and a CVT or a V6 with the automatic. Also available for 2013 is a "Sport" trim level on the sedan, which will ostensibly compete with the Toyota Camry SE. The Sport will be available with either a manual or CVT gearbox. V6 models have a cryptically named "TRG" package – perhaps it stands for "Touring"? from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
