I don't know if they are still a part of the Touring Elite package, but that would have been a dealbreaker for me as well.

Honda has a real habit of absolutely fucking you if you go from second-best trim to best. The price premium for rear backup sensors and some miscellaneous other convenience tech is outrageous. That's why I know a billion people who got the EX-L and no one (except you) who sprang for the Touring. What galls me is that, at least until recently, Honda considered a trip computer to be a luxury item. I'd love to know my mileage per gallon, but not so much I'd spend $5,500 for the answer.
