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??

| 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. | |

Replying to: biker4 (Aug 14, 2005 9:41 am) 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

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

Replying to: dgsxrr (Aug 11, 2005 6:19 pm) It sounds like you are not at fault. You should be able to collect under your policy and have them chase the other insurer. The only thing you may have to go after the other company for is your deductible and rental car. I've never dealt directly with the other insurer except for the the above items - my company handles everything and then goes through the subrogation process. As far as new vs. used parts - you may not have a choice. All insurers specify used or after market parts once the vehicle hits a certain age/mileage. You can pay extra for OEM parts or have the bodyshop work with the insurer to get OEM parts. But they have to prove that aftermarket will cost more in the long run. Good Luck. |
