Accord paint by sockpuppet1969

I have an '03 EX-L with almost 55K miles and 2 1/2 years old. I have to admit that I stopped treating it like a "new car" a long time ago. I gave it a good wash and wax for the first time in a while today (almost a year?) and noted many areas of paint where there are paint chips. Most of these are on the hood but there is also one on the roof which has a little rust spot around it. Much worse than you would expect for a car this old. It's really a shame that Honda had to cut quality so much to keep up with the competition on pricing.

all car manufacturers are following this new rating. Nissan didn't follow the new ratings, the only car Nissan has under the new SAE rating is the 2006 FX 45. I doubt we will see class action lawsuits against Toyota and Honda for false advertising.

I have the auto-dim mirror with compass and it functions very well. I had a simlar mirror in another car an liked it so I got the Honda auto-dim mirror.

Actually most paint today is pretty fragile. They are water borne and the layer of paint on your vehicle is about the thickness of 3 sheets of newsprint.

I picked up the 2006 Accord brochure today. The changes from the '05 EX- V6 sedan (which have more or less been discussed here) are:
 
1) LED tail lights
 
2) available 6-speed manual tranny (as on the coupe)
 
3) 17" wheels (and wider turning circle, unfortunately)
 
4) vehicle stability (a major advance)
 
5) a few new colors
 
6) slight increase in power
 
7) power train warranty increased from 3/36 to 5/60.

Anyone know if any of the 2005 Accords have auto-dim mirrors standard?? Or at least a standard auto-dim rearview.

I own a 2005 EXL V6 and the auto dim mirror did not come standard, which is why I have been inquiring about adding it on.

Would you mind letting me know what new colors will be available on the 2006 Accords? I am possibly in the market for a 2006 Acccord. I would really appreciate the information. Thank you!

Your local Honda dealer should have the '06 brochure. And a salesman told me the cars will be in in about two weeks. So it's getting close. I'll give you the new colors, but with the names they give, it's hard to tell just what they are:
 
alabaster silver metallic (sort of dirty silver)
 
royal blue pearl (very dark blue)
 
sapphire blue pearl-EX only (bright blue--and looks a lot like a blue from last year with a different name)
 
carbon bronze pearl--EX only (dark greyish green, although hard to tell from the brochure)
 
premium white pearl--Hybrid only (light silver)
