Simply Euro and GS.

    Ill tell you what the Honda euro was built to compete with, this was from the 2009 Honda Accord Euro CU2 review
    "Premium mid-sized cars like the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat will compete against the new Accord Euro from Honda"
    Now tell me which Honda car review did you read that states the Honda Euro was built to compete with Lexus IS or GS.?

    Why compare price in the States which is on the other side of the country + maybe because the Yanks love their American Muscles and maybe that could be why the price of lexus there has dropped.
    Why not compare price in Japan which is closer to home, the difference with Lexus GS and an Accord Euro.
    G36, not GS. Who said GS? Makes your rant kind of pointless......

    Why compare prices in the states? It is a better indication of car comparison than Australia.

    yeah, I know, but same car in different market, with same spec level shows you what the euro is truely competing with.

    AUDM we miss out on most cars, and the ones we do get are soooo overpriced. IS250 case point. Go drive one. See for yourself. Makes the Euro even more special.

    Pricing for starters:
    $80990 IS250 sports luxury AT
    $48290 Euro lux navi AT

    Accord euro are a great VALUE luxury car, but you can't say with complete conviction that they're anything to be compared with a IS250. yes, both cars are seemingly similar, but are aimed at completely different markets. hence why you see 30 cu2/cl7/cl9 on the roads everyday and a lot less IS250.

    both cars are not within the same price bracket for a reason. fact.

    in terms of wheels, i agree with Rein, wheels for cars should be price relevant. for instance if you've bought a brand new $45K + car like the CU2 does it really do it justice to throw cheap wheels and tyres on? if anything you've reduced the quality of the car in doing so. spending 2K on wheels and tyres for myself for instance as I drive a 2000 Accord is more feasible as my car is only worth sub 11K.

    would love to see a IS250/GS/G36 vs Accord Euro comparison to back up some of the previous statements.

    carry on... just my 2 cents

    on the AUDM.
    Everywhere else, they're the same price LOL! FACT!
    $31k for the IS250 in the states vs $32k for the TSX tech pack.

    Now, tell me is the IS250 worth $30k more here than our Euro?

    this also needs to be lowered, but suits the car well.
