wasn't too impressed with the look of the brown press-release car, but that silver one is stunning!:thumbsup:

If anyone wants to look at the whole Honda stand, have a look at

Without body kit, the front bumper looks lower than our stock already.. they also add eyeliner to the margin of the front parking lights.
the alloy wheels look like BMW 5-series's M-sport pack 18".
The 17 inch wheels on these cars in the photos have been OEM options available in the UK and I think also in the US for the TSX.
yet more pics from evolution42!:)
little things to look for:
new steering wheel design with pronounced grips at 10-2
new parklight design/clear front indicator
flat wiper blades
door sill plates
new AT shift knob design
the wide-angle portion in the exterior mirror of the last pic (like some european cars have)
matte silver console trim?
Australia probably won't get the navigation system (and the extra buttons on the steering wheel which comes with it), but one could always hope:p

the overall car looks good but i don't like the rear lights for some reason
on the rear lights in europe, the left reverse light isn't actually a reverse light- its a rear foglight. the right one is a normal reverse light
UPDATE!!! Guys look at:
http://www.honda.co.uk/
See on top left corner - click on "the New Accord".
Check that out including 360 degree view. Folding mirrors, blue cluster, new thicker steering wheel, etc.
We will get at least some of the interior changes - and I am fairly sure we would get all the exterior changes. I am also tipping we we get fuel to empty display on the dash.
Nice....... I take it the 06 would be available at its earliest in January06 in Oz?
Test Driven the 05 and am all but committed to doing the deal on the luxury but as i've never owned a Honda before not sure when they release the new models usually? Don't want to buy something and have it superseeded in 2 months, especially if it has Km to empty on the trip comp.....
wow - now i'm jealous. the new style changes look a lot better in these new photos than i originally thought.
not necessarily. Honda usually update their cars before the new year and sell them as 06 complience. I reckon we will see this updated model at the Sydney Motor Show and it may go on sale around November/December.Quote:
