The Euro doesn't have the grey leather trim or sunroof, but it does have the bigger donk - 140kW versus 114kW.

Yeah, the limited edition tourer is very very nice value. That sat nav is a 3k option on the Luxury.

The problem i had with buying the luxury Euro, it was my first option by the way was that the body shape is being replace within the next year or so ... i'll wait a couple of years to switch back to the euro after they work out the initial new model kinks as invariably there will be some ..

hey bigbuddha, can you post the ambience light? can you took it without using the flashlight so we can see how it actually looks?

Mate ... i tried and tried to get a pic of the blue accent lighting .. i turned off the auto flash ... turned off all the lights in the garage ... i could see the blue glow on the view screen of the digital camera but every time after the picture was taken, you could only see the smallest speck of blue light it was very wierd .. i tried like 20 times from different angles just wouldn't register in the final photo for some reason.

I have a Canon ixus70 if anyone knows a setting i could use that'd be much appreciated.

Yeah I would really like to see the accent lighting also. Have you got the camera set to AUTO mode buddha? Could imagine it being a hard photo to take though...

Maybe you can change it to "night", "low light", "indoor" or "slow sincronize flash"

Trick is to use a slow shutter speed, but not to long as you would overexpose the lighting.
Don't use flash, defeats the purpose of showing off the accent lighting, don't use other modes for night time use either, they are not designed for what you're trying to achieve.
You need to go into full manual control to do what I described though, that's if your camera has such an option.

Low ISO + slow shutter + tripod = results

Ok. i'll try all those suggestions ...

gl buddy!

How much does the accent lighting cost? Is there somewhere you can go to look at the pricing of all Aus Honda's accessories?

When i got the light, it was about $300 including installation
