[CU2] 2009 Euro Launch for Ozhonda members in melb!

[Drew]

Well I drove a manual standard one this morning...

I like the feel of the 17" wheels over the 18"s on the Luxury... Seemed quieter and not as harsh a ride

Manual Luxury Nav w/ std 17"s will be the go for me, just holding out for more info as to when the diesel motor is coming over

Why do you want the nav drew? Doesn't seem to be good value - although reversing camera is nice.

Mainly if I'm getting a new car, might as well get built in navigation rather than having my sat nav hanging off the windshield plus the reversing camera will be useful in the dark

If the standard had HIDs I'd get that instead... But since I want HIDs that would have to be the Luxury; sunroof, electric seats, rain sensor, heated seats are all a nice touch too but I don't 'want' them... I just want the HIDs

Looks like we need a CU2 subforum already

Has anyone got good pictures (in sunlight) of the CU2 in the Cobalt Blue Pearl colour? This is an old Honda colour that I believe was available in the 1990's. Most of the photos on the internet of this colour are in dark lighting conditions and the Honda website doesn't help either: Not a good representation of the colour.

Dealers over here all say it's a good year away untill the auto is ready.
They don't want to make the same mistake as other manufacturers releasing manual only version when most of their sales are auto's.

I think all the colours look great on this model. I absolutely love the crystal black, It looks so lux.... but it would be such a bitch to keep clean.

I've asked aarong once before but instead he would rename this subforum to something like "Accord Euro CU2 & CL9" although it would be better if CU2 can have its own subforum. But anyway it's his decision

I can't add any new sections. Only the admin can. If he agrees, then there will be a CU2 section, but for now, the amount of traffic doesn't warrant a new section. Anyway, I envision that in the long term, the CU2 threads will take over the CL9 section because almost everything about the CL9 has been discussed.

Lucky AUDM model doesn't have that shit grille the TSX gets.

I am pretty sure someday CU2 section would be added as there would be more CU2 owners. Seems Type R Positive is first CU2 owner registered in OzHonda forum but therefore no point for him to post by himself in CU2 subforum and there is no other CU2 owners yet. For a time being you were right there is not enough traffic yet

Thanks for the Blue photos Type R Positive. Much appreciated. The Acura colour is Vortex Blue Pearl. I wonder if it is the same as the Honda Cobalt Blue Pearl?

It's a weird thing but some yanks actually like it. I remember reading an article in one of the motoring mags that explained why the Monaro bombed-out in the USA. It had something to do with it's curvy styling and non-pronounced grille. Apparently they like their grilles bold in the USA and that's why a lot of their cars come with disproportionately oversized and over detailed grilles. Cars have to compete for attention with the mini-trucks that many yanks seems to prefer.
