Accord road noise

I bought a new 2012 Honda Accord but on highway trips I find the road noise, especially on coarser surfaces, appallingly loud. I thought Honda would be much better. I am thinking of trading the car, perhaps for a Holden Commodore, but will it be a quieter option? Any other suggestions in the medium or large class under $40,000 would be appreciated.

Before you jump out of the Honda, head to a tyre specialist (Bob Jane T-Marts is usually good) and talk about switching to a quieter tyre. A change of tyres can really help and it's a lot cheaper than a change of cars.
