Imo, the accord euro would look better with larger wheels, it looks too much like a whale with its stock ones.

poid: unfortunately we wont get the accord euro coupe. its a very nice car and has quite the go and potential :D. aus gets roughted once again :P

I wasnt expecting a euro coupe, but rather the big US coupe...well i'm not expecting that either but would be nice if we got it for once.

Seeing as there is going to be no moew preludes i reckon they should bring them in!
26-08-2003, 04:06 PM
Calvo

yeh i reckon the accord coupes would sell alrite down here.
my dad went to have a look at the new euro's, and theres already a waitin list on the top model with full options (factory kit etc)
26-08-2003, 04:11 PM

Yup there is a waiting list, Honda are selling them about twice as fast as they thought they would.

A mate's gf is getting one very soon, though he has a few contacts and so wont have to wait :wink:

Calvo

heh. yeh my dad spoke to dude who we've bought several honda's from, and he goes the shortage is due to the new V6 model being released in september. so they thought that the Euro wouldnt sell, but the new V6 is the normal shape. i like the Euro better :D
26-08-2003, 07:30 PM
poid

yeh if i remember right they expected to sell 375 euro's a month...first month they sold over 700 so since then there is a waiting list :)

Not surprised, its a damn good car, not only in the looks department!

forgive me for me ignorance...

Excessive lowering...equals declined level of positive handling...(looks cool though)...excessive wear on dampers and struts....and control arms...will cause premature wear...

Fat rims = decreased in acceleration....increased roational inertia...

Big exhaust...as in a cannon style...well depends on taste!...

Not trying to pick on you Sam....I have given Bennyboy a hard time on some occasions as well!....LOL! :lol:

But i suppose to each his own....as you can see im ANTI - rice... :P

It's nice to see that at a time when Honda Australia/Honda are giving us cars that look like they have been designed by Toyota - that the Accord stands out.

New Civic = fugly - It's bad when you can't find anything nice to say about its looks - even the CTR is pushing it (not that we get it - TY Honda, shafted again).

Jazz -looks like a Civic except that if you leant on it, it'd topple over. Actually, I prefer the Jazz to the Civic - but that's not saying much.

Integra - looks ok but cant say it grabs me the way the earlier ones did. Horses for courses, I know they are a great beast, but there's something about the back and interior I don't like.

Accord = sex on wheels :) Nices bit of styling I've seen from Honda in 2 years :) The Euro Coupe would be even better ;)

the 7th gen civics (wagon-Vi) are pretty nice looking, once you lower it and put some nice rims and a wing IMO.

as for the jazz...it'd b the other choice after the Vi cos it's cheaper :lol:

There's this guy in Syd who's done it..lowered it on it's arse on 19s i fink. The blue !?! colored one with XA3X plates. I lived in the same apartment with him b4 and everytime I would pass his car to get to my parking spot.

Made me love that car ever since. But is there any engine swaps/mods that can be done to those cars-jazz and Vi?? Anybody know??

i doubt we will get the coupe :) and imo the euro looks much better than the luxury version like the brand new V6L... the mugen one is nice... saw something similar at TAS03
04-09-2003, 08:21 PM
Calvo

the new V6L one looks but ugly. its like a retarded lexus GS(wateva numbers). to curvy for my liking. i like the sporty look of the euro.

Why else would you quote and revive a thread that's over a decade old.
