Accord Euro question

[Jordan]

Hi Guys,

Currently my parents are in the market to buy a Honda Euro. Now I have been advised by Honda that the shape will be changing this year and we should go for the current euro shape as there run out models. Do you guys this we should wait for the new shape?

Wrong section. Moving to the Accord Euro section.

Yes, a new model is coming and there will be run out sales when that happens. BTW, them telling you that a new shape is coming doesn't really want to make you buy the old model, so how does that work out as bull? :)

If it was me, I'd wait to see when Honda Japan releases the new Accord Euro and then decide if I want the old or new model. If it was the old one, I'd pay much lower than RRP for it since the new one is coming.

I heard that only the Accord is having a new model while the Euro is still the existing model.

I heard that the replacement EuroR is probably not coming in....will be getting the Thai or Inspire version instead. And the V6 engine can run on 3 cylinders to save fuel.

there should still be a while until they introduced the new shape Accord Euro.. or i should say it will approaching to 2009 when it will be released.

The current Euro, IMO is good enough which is a 4 door sedan with sporty feel.. see the new US spec Accord and compare its new design and old design... i personally like the old design better.. but it all depends on your parents!

According to drive.com.au the new Euro (based on the concept shown here) should be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in March and should be due here in the second half of this year:

So before we can start taking delivery of the new model were looking at 2009

Curious to see how much power the new euro will make, anyone expecting a noticeable increase?

i dont think the new model will any major increase in power, will either stay the same power, or slight increase at the most. That picture above gives you a good idea of what to expect on the new euro accord in terms of the line, as the concept contains alot of the what the actual car may look like.

Not really.I'm fairly certain it'll run the current 2.4L with an approx.5%increase in power, torque will be pretty much the same.One thing i'd be concerned about is will the new model put on weight?

[tron07]

The new accord with the V6 engines looks promissing... if the new euro comes with that, it would be great.... can run on 3 cylinders, 4 or all full 6

im guessing theyll go the same way as the tsx... having different cams, maybe slightly different tuning, prob around the 150kw at the fly mark....

if we're lucky! lol

I read somewhere that the Euro woas due just before xmas this year, while the normal accord was due around march?

[Jaso]

Sounds about right. Its hard to see a new 2.4 Euro being more than 150kw at the fly.

[SPQR]

Speculation on American websites is 20 to 30 bhp (15kW to 22kW) power increase. The current Acura TSX is listed as having 153kW. Does that mean the new Euro's engine would be capable of 168kW to 175kW? If so, it would be worth waiting for.

See my new thread on the new Euro. The Euro/TSX should be released to the world in April 2008 and in Australia in September 2008.

[integral90]

With the Accords we get a more mild tune than the Americans, I think they're usually getting roughly 8-10kw more. So that American website speculation doesn't nessecarily apply here.

Thought the new bred of engines coming in for hondas is the new vtec called " Advanced vtec " which would have progressive vtec or someting.... but maybe im wrong..
