You guys sure about the stiffer suspention ? I'd say we have stiffer suspention here in europe...

Accord here in the Netherlands has full leather in the executive, 3/4 leather in the type-S and sport. Navi (just as bluetooth) is standard on the executive and option on the type-S and sport. Option for LKAS (Lane Keeping Assistent) and ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control).

The engine is identical...

Some available colors might be different.. I just ordered an 06 in 'Dark Mocca'... trading in my 03... You guys have that color in USA ?

We don't have Dark Mocha as color options here in the states. What's the HP rating on the Type S? it's the same K24a but the UK Accord Type S only has 187bhp while the US TSX has 205bhp.

Type-S has the same 2.4L engine as the 2.4 executive and TSX. UK states 187bhp, here in the Netherlands spec say 190 HP... Might be the hp is calculated a bit differently here...

Googled a bit and found this :
A scottish dude named Watt figured that a horse could do 746 watts of work.

Germans estimated that their wimpier horses could only do 736 watts of work and they called their measurement Pferdestaerke or PS.

Conversion factor is approx 0.9866 PS = 1 HP

Personally I was comparing it to all the info I've read about the type-s, which is only as accurate at the people who posted it. (and my memory!)

There was a discussion some time ago about stiffer shocks in the TSX vs. accord type-s. I was also under the impression the type-s didn't offer leather seats.

Also, looks like the 06 wheels on this pic, but of course it could be different for production.
