saw the new 08 euro today

Not too sure yet on the tail lights but overall it's always nicer to see in the flesh rather than in picture. I need to see with my own eyes before I can judge. Thanks for the pics.

Interesting. I said earlier this year that the rear looked like a new Corolla and that it would be released in July 2008 and I got pounced upon for such a bold comparison and for the release date!

looks like an aurion

I called up a honda dealer a few weeks ago and the sales manager told me its gonna be released in july too.

yeah end of july is release date

There seems to be a few cars coming out with the saggy soiled-nappy rear bump look. I wonder if there is some new regulation somewhere in the world (probably USA) that's causing this symptom. Or it could be a misguided Japanese design fad.

is this the same as japanese honda accord as per the current euro?

All about minimising pedestrian injury from impact. And I though the 03-07's Euro bumpers were big, now the 08 is not only big, it is high and sticks up like super-booty.

If that keeps up, we'll be driving cars that look like PT Cruisers.
The Vintage car look is coming back lol

Not if we the public do not buy them.

Some 2009 Acura TSX videos on Youtube:

Remember, our Accord Euro version won't have the ugly grille of the TSX and will have less equipment than the TSX.

Also, the fuel consumptions quoted in the videos are miles per US gallons. US gallons are smaller than Imperial Gallons (3.785 Litres versus 4.54 Litres). So, to convert, multiply quoted figures by 4.85 and divide by 3.785. This gives our version of miles per gallon. Then, the constant number 282.2 divided by the imperial miles per gallon gets you L/100km.

One of the videos claims that the auto will be more economical than the manual but this might just be the bias of the standard test they conduct in the USA.
