Optional sat nav?

How does the stereo sound?


Still havent seen one at any local dealers yet, must be keeping them under wraps

4.5L 202Kw @ 6200 RPM, 339Nm @ 5000RPM - 10.0L / 100Km

4.5L V6? Sounds tasty


10.0L for a 3.5L V6 is very good.

How heavy is the car? 1590kg?

[Atjo]

i've got a few phone pics to post myself. but yeah i agree wth VT3C that the new accord completely shits on the old model.

awesome awesome car, the V6 is a great engine to drive. you dont even really notice when it changed to 3cyl and 4cyl mode

and yeah as VT3C said there is alot to come from honda aust in the next 18months or so

-Sat Nav
-HID Headlights
-Leather seat trim (with differential fading vinyl backs to seats and other selected place)

-Reversing Camera
-7 spoke 17" x 7.5" wheels

Price range $29,990 to approx $47,000 plus on-road costs and the dealer delivery extra-cream fee on top. Big jump in price between VTi to VTi-L. Not so big between V6 and V6-L.

So how does this drive compared to the Accord Euro, or is it in a whole different ball game?

[EuroDude]

Its basically an upgrade of the previous Accord designed to rival the camry so it wont be as sporty as the euro

My local dealer drove the 4 cylinder in Adelaide and said that it seemed a bit less zippy than the out-going Accord VTi (despite having more power) and that the steering is lighter. He tried to be positive and said that you get used to the light steering.
