Accord, yes. But thats also 1 size down from the Impala.
The Maxima starts at 32,780, which is 2 grand more than the base V6 Impala (Maxima is V6 only, so it doensn't seem fair to compare it to the 4 banger price)

Um, no, doesn't the 12 V6 Impala start at around 26k, you are having to pay 4k more to get the V6 to start out. As for the Accord, it has been considered a fullsze by the EPA since 08, so while it is technically the midsize offering, you are not going to lose much, space between the 2. While the V6 pricing pricing between the 2 is pretty similar, nmind you cannot apparently get a V6 Accord with leather, the Accord 4 cylinder is only 22k to start. Lets get even more apples to apples and start with the taurus which is basically the same price as the impala starting out, but with a standard V6 (and the 4 banger while optional is at least a turbocharged unit), for the starting price of a v6 Impala you get AWD and more options in your Taurus.
