thoroughly test drive the accord highway and side streets.. get comfortable with the VCM engine and be sure your feel NO vibration in the wheel , seat etc at highway speeds.. if its is fine.. go for it,, but the new TSX is awesome, no VCM surging/lurching and is roomy inside and out... you sacrifice the v6 but gain peace of mind ,,IMO

With the new 2009 TLs now hitting the showroom floor this week, the 2008 TLs will be DEEPLY DISCOUNTED. This may put a non-NAVI TL nuch closer to a price of a 2009 V6 Accord.

That's a great observation, go mdx1. A couple of months ago, I almost bought one at $28,400 w/o navigation. For some reason, my family didn't like the seats in the rear of the TL, but I sat back there and liked them. I suppose it had something to do with individual tastes, but I was kind of sad to not get it.
On the other hand, I'm really loving my "09 Accord.
You could probably get a new TL for under $28,000 now. I think they'll a great balance of things in a single car.

Effers, here's my Accord. Unfortunately, it doesn't look at all like the real thing. Maybe it was the light, maybe the photographer. The Pearl White is not like the real thing. The chrome doesn't really shine in the pictures. Even that girl doesn't look like my daughter. At least I tried.

Its okay, it looks good to me, it is probably the most classy looking Accord. That is the color I would get, along with the chrome. I also think the red color looks classy on it as well. Very sharp! I am going to either try for this Accord next spring or get the new TSX. If I get the Accord, I will get the 4cyl, and get the navigation.

Hey, thanks. 
I like red cars as well. Notice, my daughter's red Fit next to mine. If I had gone with the new Mazda6, I probably would have ended up with red, although I would have wanted to see it in blue as well. With the last generation Accord (my other daughter's) to the right on the street, that makes us a three Honda family. My wife's Prius is in the garage.
As for the TSX, it is a good example of how seeing a car in person is such a different experience. I wasn't impressed with pictures of the new TSX, but when I saw one at the dealer, I thought it looked very sharp, inside and out. I was very tempted by that car.

Honda changed the 2003 model mid production run (2003-2007) because there was a lot of criticism of the design of the rear panel - no other reason. Other than that - having owned an '81,'83,'97,'02,'04 - they NEVER change the body style once set. Perhaps rearrange the taillights like in Gen 6 - location of signal bulb versus brake, but I cannot recall any other changes.

There are usually some cosmetic changes within generations. I know the 91 and 92 models had different front bumpers, and also had different wheels on EX models. The EX wheels changed again for 93. They often change more than just the lights, but it's usually just a matter of one or two different parts. I doubt much will change at all, between the 08 and 09 models. They usually wait two or three years before changing anything major. They could have come up with a different wheel for 09, but I haven't noticed it.
