hehe well u need some good brakes to stop them superb wheels

yeh and a 6 speed manual would top it off nicely.

also there r 5th gen accord station wagons around, just not very many of them. probably most popular one around is the maroon 5th gen accord station wagon rollin on 19's (i think) and has a full airbag suspension setup. very pimpin indeed

no idea calvo..

honda said diesel engines werent their game..
cause they claim to be very noisy.. which honda dont really want..
but they gave it a go,, and added a turbo to it.. and WOW.. they are introducing it to the accord Euros.. due to the car being very fuel efficeint

but everyone has to agree.. all honda's are quiet..
my dad went for a test drive in the new accord euro..
the closing of everydoor was god dam quiet..
even the CD player.. no eject noise.. just quiet..

Honda... its really " Power Of Dreams"

Diesel turbo is not exactly what I'd call Honda style ... Kinda expecting i-VTEC tweaked technology instead.

In fact, the Euro Accord handles pretty well, but suspension is slightly soft for a performance orientated ride. Nothing a set of good suspension upgrade can't correct. Not to mention, there's VSA (A first as yet?) standard across the range and 6 speed manual, 7KW down from a DC5R? Not to shabby indeed for a sedan. :wink:
