I love Brissy weather! always has a chill to it...but not cold!
I am very sympathetic to automotive designers in the 21st century they have so many bridges to cross and so many restictions to meet. It continually amazes me when I see something as glorious as an Aston DB9 and realise they had to meet all the regulations just as Honda did with the Euro etc. These days designers are usually told what drivetrain they have to design a car around which is hugely restrictive aka the new VE Holden.Quote:

I guess a number of cars these days generally feel forced in their design because of all the design requirements and there is less flair. But like you said, at the same time, some designers will continue to amaze us at how innovative/stylish/unique they are with their designs... good looking cars still exist, i guess they've just become that bit more rare - IMO of courseQuote:

What's so good about your Accord?
For examle, is it the look, the interiour or what is it bro?
Thanks,

Everyone prefers the car they are driving, that's why it is their favourite. :)
My dad went through a CB7 and is now driving a CD4. I drive a CL9. Among all, I feel that the CD4 looks the most elegant. Handling-wise, the CL9 is the best among the three. Interior plastics, the CD4 wins.
No offence taken at all - valid question :)Quote:

- VERY reliable. Plenty of CB7 Accords have seen 300-400,000ks with hardly an issue
- excellent quality. The interior is still fresh in mine and its 15 years old
- Might be biased here, but the looks were definately ahead of their time
- Very audio friendly
I'd have to agree with 4thgenexi here. I would prefer an immaculate white update CB accord EXi over my CK accord VTi-L. They look so much nicer and much more conservative than that ugly in your face fatass of ours. imo.
I think the Euro especially the CL9 makes a definite style statement without having to resort to wheel bulges and spoilers. The fluidity of the shape which engenders a certain subdued agression gives out the right message for me, meaning it goes as good as it looks.

And about reliability...yeah, I have to agree too...very good indeed!
Cheers, thanks for your comments mate!
