Its a honda inspire.. thats what they are called. We never got them here, but they are very nice, kinda halfway between a Legend and an Accord, but they are still FWD, don't let the engine location confuse you

They still make honda Inspires by the way... its not an accord at all

I am thinking it would be a nice car for my grandfather... But he might get a Stagea.... LOL, i'm serious too

The Inspire looks great I reckon

But it'd still be FWD....and tough to fit with the transfer case, you'd have to use the Inspire gearbox....

Hmm, would be sleeper material, but the Inspires are pretty weighty from memory... although, I think they are only 1300kgs, and the S2000s aren't a whole lot lighter... but I am sure it wouldn't be cheap including custom tailshaft....

The Current Inspire, uses the same body as the Accord widebody, built in Thailand not the Euro.

McChook
17-03-2004, 12:47 PM
Yeah, they also have a widebody Accord coupe....
The Thai factory is where the CRVs are made, as well as the civics we recieve I think... Correct me if I am wrong

Koo.
Still thought maybe there was something else, maybe a car we don't get here or something. Its is actually a very good plant, one of the best outside Japan.

i think if you include cars not available to OZ then there are probably others, they has a JAZZ with a boot, really ugly car, i think its only available in SE asia.

The Thai Factory builds the old Accords and the new American ones. They build the Honda City there too..
