2006 Euro Accord - folding mirrors? And other things...

The '06 Euro Accord has automatic folding mirrors. They close up when you park to prevent damage. Pretty nice. Will that be coming to the TSX as well? Also, the pics of the front bumper of the Euro Accord shows pop-up headlight washers. I don't remember seeing that on the TSX. Did I just miss it? Finally, and this will make somebody mad, but the Euro Accord Navi system also provides traffic info, just like the RL. Pretty sure that's NOT going to be on the '06 TSX...

The TSX will not get either the pop up headlight washers or the power folding mirrors.

We're apparently not worthy enough of these things

The Accord Euro has always had folding mirrors atleast in Japan cause all cars have had them there for a long time. I mean even cars in like 95 had them due to the narrow street. I want to get a set for my TSX but they are 1100 this modding thing while attending college is getting harder and harder. But I am not going to lose the fight.

$1100 for folding mirrors? I'll gladly lose that fight.

I think integrated traffic on navi is much more widespread in Europe than it is in the US. I rented a crappy VW Jetta station wagon on a recent trip to Germany and it had traffic on navi and it wasn't even an upcharge by the rental agency (National). I've read that the traffic control on the RL is not the greatest because it is only supported in major metropolitan areas in the US anyway. I was driving about an hour outside of Munich (boonies) and the traffic control bypassed a huge construction site for me. Saved me at least an hour waiting in traffic. From what I've read, the US just doesn't have the infrastructure for the automatic traffic signals yet.

So with that said, I'm in no hurry to have it on my TSX...I'd rather wait until it would actually work here.
