Accord never had a turbo V6 with AWD, and it’s a performance luxury sedan in the age where the market looked like it was gonna disappear. We know now that Dodge are bringing the V8s back and Cadillac is gonna keep the blackwings going, but that’s a different price bracket so less of a surprise there

edit: also stretching the definition of up-badging there, entirely new chassis, interior and drivetrain isn’t an upbadge
