New CU2 Accord Euro - My car, my review!

. Haven't had much time to muck around with it yet but first impressions are that build quality has improved! I'll post some more comparative shots of it against the CL9.

No. The strut supports are well intergrated into the strengthened shell structure. It is plenty stiff enough.

I am wondering how much better this car would be with beefed up sway bars?

Local dealer confirmed that not one has been sold in Darwin yet. Apparently, prospective customers are being shocked with the low amount that they're being offered for their old CL9's so much so that sales just haven't been happening. Apparently, some have switched their attention to the Accord which has a fatter margin for the dealer to play with.
