OO.. that wagon is pretty hot!! should have made them sooner...accord wagons FTW


EDIT: fulling feeling those stock rims on the accord in the picture too..hot!

The rear of the wagon kills the sedan. Honda really should look at a 6 speed auto - shame about 5 speed.

5 speed is OK,just need to sharpen the shifts or have a sport mode.

Some interesting changes:
- 12-monthly or 20,000km service intervals;
- compression ratio up from 10:5 to 11:0. I wonder if the new 2.4 will be 98RON only?
- "petrol engines feature a drive-by-wire (electronic) throttle, ensuring very smooth and responsive adjustments directly proportional to driver input." Hopefully no more jerky throttle.
- I could find no mention of weight.....perhaps doesn't bode well. Hope it's not too lardy.

Still hate the sedan's styling. Wagon is much cleaner looking.

It puts on approx.110kg.Power up by 9kw,torque unchanged.

Torque is 232Nm, up from 223Nm.

has the weight increase been confirmed? or is that speculation based on the weight of the TSX? Would be a damn shame if the lightest accord euro weighed 1500kg

seems the new euro is on sale in US now. check the site:

Haha you're right,232Nm looks like 223Nm.
The extra 110kg in weight is based on the TSX spec.

just another face lift

- "petrol engines feature a drive-by-wire (electronic) throttle, ensuring very smooth and responsive adjustments directly proportional to driver input." Hopefully no more jerky throttle.

The Euro has always had drive-by-wire (electronic) throttle. It makes my auto super smooth; especially at low speeds where very fine throttle control is available.....just as the advertising brochure from the dealership said.

[SPQR]

Sorry - my fault - I meant they have hopefully re-tuned the DBW throttle to ensure smoother operation (in the manual models).

I was just being facetious. I know that the manual suffers from shunting at low speed. That's one of the reasons I got the auto.
