Yeah let's see some pics if you can post. If that car is as tight as you say it is, then I'm doing this car stuff all wrong.

My Accord is tight, and I get attention. All I have done to the exterior is put on tyc heads and tails, a type-r grill, 15% tint, cl-s rims, and let my car's black paint bling. I got more bells and whistles besides that, but I'm just talking about exterior. I spent a little money on exterior to customize my car and 'bam', I got a unique looking ride that people are curious about. Believe what you want, I wasn't expecting to get any props on an acura site for owning an accord.
I'm not trying to say that I'm the number one stunner in my accord, I'm just saying that it does turn heads on a daily basis. I would be willing to bet my accord gets more attention than a lot of you acura drivers and my overall cost to achieve this attention is probably siginificantly lower than what most of you have spent.
Keep in mind before flaming me for my opinion on the accord, that I would take a cl-s anyday over the accord and I don't care if it doesn't look as good, I'm about the power. I would post pics of my car but I know what kind of reaction I'll get, so there is no need.

her car also has the tilt side mirror when in reverse, plus the rear sensor.
and the turning headlights are amazing...they turn in the direction you are turning and can see more around corners...
i truly dont see any great features on my 02 CL (no navi) that a 96 accord doesnt (other than HID and LSD). just a nicer honda. and YES...it is a honda...

I should probably start another thread about this, but my buddy said I should get an IS300 with the 5-speed manual. I have always liked these cars, but I could hang with them in my 2 GSRs easily when they first came out. The 5-speed is a little quicker, however. And I hear the "fun to drive" factor is pretty big. The styling, RWD, and 4 doors are all a plus. The 2JZ engine is turbo-friendly if I ever wanted more power. I don't race anymore, even though I get challenged on the freeway on a weekly basis, simply because I drive a GSR, losers. So I don't know if the straight line speed will be that big of a factor for my decision on a car. Several of you own/have owned other cars, so what do you guys think about the IS300 (other than the fact than a CLS 6MT would whoop its ass at the strip any day)?

Although not as bad as the Accord, these things are still a dime a dozen.
all in all. I love the car. I love the styling, and I love the mod potential. If there were less of 'em around, I would definitely say IS300 over the CLS6

Oh, and the accord is faster...........feel free to yell at me for that.
So why buy the CL-S?

Theres a poop-load of little stuff that an Acura has over a regular Honda.
I live & breathe Honda & I actually wanted a 6-speed Accord .... for ever! The thing is that my '99 Accord EX-L was taken from me & burned four days later ... screwed was I. I had a year left on my lease which would have been about mid-03 (right around the 'estimated' arrival of the Accord 6-speed).
Well, long story short, I got my '03 CL-S 6-speed & love it to death.
Now, I've worked @ a Honda dealership for 5 years & this issue has been put to rest several times due to the fact that sales people come & go ... you know that, we all know that. But theres always a hot-shot that would bring it up & I'd say, grab the damn keys & lets go!
My point, I've taken well over a dozen 6-speed Accords. Some are close races, most I pull quite decently (only consider clean races w/good drivers, not clowns!).
