look at hondapreview.com 6-speed in sedan, VSC, DLR, heated mirrors, 244 horsepower. No mention of LED taillights, but that is supposed to happen also. No pricing yet, But I would expect about a $500 increase.

Accord V6 vs Acura TSX by usafgarrett

I just wanted to say how funny it is that the European Accord is the Acura TSX in the states. I looked at the Euro prior to ordering an Accord EX-V6 from the states. The only market that they sell both with the Honda nameplate is in Australia. There the TSX(Known as the Euro Accord) goes for $4000 less than the Accord V6. It's amazing how we Americans are so gullable to spend more on a nameplate. Great marketing by Honda!!!
 
 What do you guys think of that??

Yes, I emptied the glove box, CD player and console. It didn't help.

are tempting. Especially the V6 6-speed version. It will be a tough decision between keeping my 04 at the end of the lease or buying a 2007 sedan. Even the new Si is catching my eye.

Thanks for the specs.
 
I don't like the trend toward bigger Accords--the car is already too big IMO although that didn't prevent me from buying my '04 EX-L sedan which I like very much.
 
The extra 1.6 inches in overall length isn't much, but the trend is discouraging. Also, I wonder what Honda did to increase both the height and the width by .1 inches--inconsequential, but odd.
 
I don't care if the new tail treatment is slicker than the 2003--05 Accords because I'd rather have the shorter length to park. The new tail lights are OK, but look too much like most other cars now. The previous tail was more distinctive.........Richard

Black cloth shouldn't get too hot--leather is much hotter after exposure to direct sunlight. If you do get leather, use a leather conditioner frequenly.
 
Silver is a great color--or non-color because it's really a metallic, light gray. I don't have a facility for washing my car at home and go many weeks without a car wash. The silver still looks good after I wipe off the dirty windows.
 
Metallic paints in dark colors rot in the sun which reflects from the aluminum dust in the paint and destroys the surrounding color. It's common to see dark cars with a grayish rash-like area on the roof, trunk, or hood where the sun exposure is intense. Stay away from dark metallics if your car spends much time in direct sunlight.
 
Silver is a good choice for a metallic, but the best color for a car exposed to sunlight is white with no metallic particles in it.............Richard

I'm sure the dimmesion changes are due to cosmetic fascia changes - the only metal changes are around the trunk/rear.
