Ive read that the CRV/Accord K24 has VTEC on the Intake only, which is why its only around 118/127 kw
isn't the one in vt-i has more torque in lower rpms? as the US accord is heavier... just my guessing...
The cut-down K24 is simply missing the exhaust vtec cam, lower torque and hp
but the maximum torque 218nm for vt-i is at 4000rpm compare to euro's 223nm at 4800nm...so for for in-city driving/constant stop and go... vti "might" be more fuel efficient than euro... correct me if i am wrong...
i rekon it looks good...reminds me of like a 94' accord but just with newer cleaner lights cross bred with a camry
Saw a white one yesterday...holy s$$t they are ugly..thought it might look better in nighthawk or graphite...saw a nighthawk one today and a silverstone ish colour...ummm no improvement..perhaps the boot lip spoiler will give it a much needed help!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't buy the new design. It's like turning the clock back 10 years. This is a mistake from Honda :( The previous v6 looked better, more class. This one looks like it's back in the 90s. How pissed would you be if just bought bought an accord v6 to cop a facelift model straight away, $$$
Just checked honda website, damn it's here. omg it's a camry.

Meh looks like a saab/camry mixup.
Honda should have used the existing style and slightly modernise it (which is basically the Euro's rear lol):

It aint no Euro in the looks department but come on you put a decent set of rims say 18-19 inch car colour black it would look pretty hard its got a real vectra look about it which isnt a bad thing... look much more like a cruising car then anything
trying to look like a merc e-class rear end.
interestingly they decided on an S2000 style rear spoiler / brake light.
fugly in my opinion... but is it an improvement on the old one??
Yeah I tried getting used to the previous one, but I still find it fugly.
The new one is an aquired taste - just give it time ;)
ps. that 3rd pic at the front right angle, reminds me of the current Sube Liberty IMO
Are these on show yet in dealerships?
