Thorn, I think the Euro looks better than the Legend from the outside. The Legend is a very generic styling, but its a great car otherwise.
I don't mind sitting in the back!!:angel:Quote:

But mine's a friday special! Have you ever seen an Euro where the dealer replaced the glovebox under warranty because it was bent? Or one where they replaced the wheel well liner because a chunk was missing? Plus my body panels use to click when you pushed against them. LOLQuote:

Oh wow.. thats one special Euro! :honda:
Do u think it'll actually decide its had enuf and collapse when it sees my fat a$$? hahaha
I've had 3 other guys in the car before, so if it got through the 200kg sausage fest, I'm sure the car will be alright with you ;)Quote:

Well... Like I said before, I dont think I would trade our Euro to get another 1, simply coz there's not much thats gonna be "new" about the car... few minor changes by :honda: but for me, there's just no excitement about a new car like what a NEW car would bring!
If I had a choice, I wouldn't replace my '05 Euro with a newer model. I haven't had a chance to drive the Legend yet but the price seems 5-10% more than the price I would pay for it. I really don't understand why Honda can't make BLACK Euro's with BLACK interior. That tan colour just doesn't have much youth appeal! So we had to settle for the generic graphite colour for a black interior :(
Chances are the missus wants to upgrade our 2001 CRV to the new 2007 model (I don't really care where it's made) or maybe even to a Odyssey. So maybe the Legend has to go on the backburner for a couple more years.
My folks would most likely disagree with me about changing cars so soon. If they had their way, changing cars occurs when the car is 8-10 years old!
The black Euro now comes with a black interior in 2007.
BTW, instead of an odyssey, why not a new Tarago? For $54-55k, they come with a 3.5L Aurion engine.
the 07 model comes black on black, the legend is a be to rich for me to.
never driven an odyssey, wifey wants one cos she wants 6 kids!, me dont think so
Exactly :cool: Mine is a 2007 Nighthawk Black Pearl with black interior, but was manufactured in Oct 2006. Dealer have assured me it is a 2007 model, previously that colour combination was not available for 2006 model.Quote:

I didn't like the shade of tan leather either.. I like beige leather, but it has to be light and is too easily dirtied! :(Quote:

And actually, I was just flicking thru the :honda: magazine last nite and the new CRV is cosmetically quite appealling - dont know about that performance tho! And the spare is now under the cabin not outside...
Too right! Guess they finally started listening to their consumers...but as you said, a bit late.Quote:

Hhahah...6 kids! I know what you mean...Quote:

neither man!?!?!, we cant afford six kids, i work hard cos, i want a nice house a nice car maybe a s2000 and gtr (i love gtr's as a weapon, love hondas for the cruise and nice drive) and a bike, would be happy with a yzf r6. not so we can have extra kids or move to the north shore (i got nothing against the north shore btw just rather stay in western sydney and have other things)Quote:

originally i wanted black to, i think i said before nothing looks better then a nice shinny new black beast with some nice wheels especially at night, the tan leather is terrible, i had a few freinds have bad experiences as Ms GTi said, gets to dirty to easy, and imagin when the kids would be around. supposingly im bad enough as it is, not letting the wife pt her feet on the dash and stuff, imagine how bad i would be with tan leather! anyway black leather compliments my black asian head!!!!! lol
man i feel like and old man talkin kids lol, im only 26.
Mmmm.New CRV looks hot(esp.lux one)Made in Thailand.Not so sure.:(Quote:

this is my first and last Euro... never again..
Its too subtle for my needs... I'm going over to Nissan next.. need turbo lol!
LOL, we warned you about that before you sold off your Type S :)Quote:

depends on what you were expecting with a euro. For all out power, you would be better off with a turbo to begin with. The euro is a great cruiser that can hold its own 4cyl n/a to 4cyl n/a and for me, thats all I'd be looking for. If not a cruiser, a wrx or xr6turbo ftw.
If the Euro comes in a V6 six speed Manual Wagon.. I'll take it :D
Buy the 4WD wagon, and drop in a J35A into it. Winnah!!
Id like to see an Accord Euro hybrid. If its priced around same price as luxury it could do well
It wont come out with Hybrid with the current shape (although a Diesel is planned). Who knows what the next shape will have on offer ;)
Although I doubt they will hybridize the Euro, that would be better suited to the normal Accord imo
Im getting a new CRV lux in the next month. But im keeping my 05 Euro only 25000ks for a second car ! Lucky me!! Jtune...

i-CTDi is designed to sound like a petrol engine and doesn't emit black smoke.
Where does the black smoke go to instead? Into the oil (sludge alert)? :pQuote:

There are 2 cats. The first is a reactor with a custom catalyst (I don't think anyone has used it before) that binds the diesel particles and then through a regenerative catalyst, turn it into CO2, CO and water (plus what ever impurities that are in the diesel like SOx and NOx). That then goes into the 2nd one, which is like a conventional cat so that the SOx and NOx are bound and reduced.Quote:
