Honda has shrunken its popular mid-size saloon in the interest of handling

Wasn't interior space the name of the game in such cars?

That was definitely once the case for cars like the Honda Accord which rivals the Toyota Camry and Nissan Teana. However, Honda is seeing things differently today.

Agree with Pitanu.

Although I applaud Honda (and any other brands for this matter) for quitting the war of growth.
Any where else but China (and developing countries) do car sizes really matter in terms of practicality.
With both growing economic recession and ecological awareness, consumers ought to realise that any luxury be it creature or cool gadgets always have a price to pay for.
Packaging, though is more and more important these days for the masses.
But, uh, Honda got it totally wrong with American-esque designs of late - they're really awful for the rest of the world.
