I've just ordered an '05 Euro and have been told it will come with 17" wheels. The dealer doesn't know any other info. I didn't know about the clear tail lights till I stumbled across this thread. Hope they don't look gay.
If they are exchangeable, that's the first thing I'll do to the 05 euro if it came with clear lights.
Congratulations on your car Lowenhart i hope they dont have clear tail lights there really gay
I don't think there will be clear tail lights cos both the JDM Accord and Acura TSX don't have it, and the Accord Euro is pretty much a rebadged JDM Accord. Also, Honda Japan always have new stuff coming to them first, and from the website, there's no change to the Accord whatsoever.
how did you order the 05? Did you have to specifically ask for it or is there pretty much no more 04 stock left?Quote:

Spoke to a honda dealer on the weekend and he confirmed that the only difference between 04 and 05 is the 17inch wheels on the luxury model.
Honda Aust are holding all 05 until all 04 stock has been sold first, but that reallyl shouldnt take to long.
Ah damn it, all 03' 04'luxury model owner should entitle to a free 17'' wheel upgrade...
Or realistically, a discount......
Hell yeah!. Discount or upgrade. That sucks nutz. Gotta love it when a car company shafts you like this, "let's see how much bitching and moaning there is from our guinea pig customers about small wheels, when we offer 17"s as an option everywhere else in the world". When confronted by this at a recent Honda evening their head technical guru said "Oh no, can't go bigger than 16's, the suspension bushings and geometry is all wrong" Then asked "well what have they changed to now provide the ability to offer 17"s on the '05 model" and "from an engineering and economic standpoint please explain to me how they justify such a unique difference for a small market such as Australia" he shut up. Bombarded the guy with a shedload of ?'s and he wasn't able to answer one of them honestly without resorting to the company line. Doesn't bother me anyway now with 18"s all lined up :D
