All I can say is WOW! The Accord has come a long way! I am considering a purchase. As a former Lexus owner I am very impressed with this new car.

What's the price on the new Accord ?

A very big spread; something like 10K. The top of the line maxed out is $32K.

We recently picked up one of these for my wife. What a riot this car is -- a total sleeper. It's got 243 HP, handles like a go-cart, and looks like something your grandmother would drive.

It's also got an awesome sound system and sun roof. I love driving it, especially on twisty mountain roads. Meanwhile, I'm stuck driving the Chevy Suburban.

You know its funny, I was just commenting on how good they look and how affordable they were. But we need a truck, anyway, I would buy this car if I was 18!

You think that's a sleeper... the new Accord V6's are up to 270HP.

I'm on my third Honda Accord. I live in a rural area and would love to have a pickup. But I drive long distances every day. Besides we already have an old chevy p/u.
I am going to check this baby out. I usually go 4 cyl. LX due to price. HEY, ya gotta live a little, right?

Im sorry, but Accords, while they do handle decently for a sedan, do NOT handle like a go-cart. If you want a great handling car, spend some time in a 3 series BMW, a Lotus Elise/Exige, a Miata, a Mitsu Lancer Evo, etc.

I do like it's looks on the outside, but upon looking into my neighbors new one parked in the street I saw that the leather [?] looked nice and it looked roomy the dashboard had this large ugly knob on it - it may be very handy and work much better than the BMW wizard thing, but it is so out of place. It still doesn't compare to my 04 TL in style and the interior, wow.
