the base ES330 gets heated&ventilated memory seats standard, for example, while the loaded Camry does not. The Lexus is also quieter (less NVH) and has one touch up/down for all windows, plus better materials and perforated leather). All that alone is worth the price over a Camry IMO.

Coupe spied at Vtec.net
Accord Coupe Spy Shots
It looks like the rims are straight from the old TL/CL! And the headrests as well

^ So you noticed the headrests in those pics too. Makes you wonder if the 06 TSX is going to get LED taillights now that the Accord has them.

I miss my 03 CL-S :(
253/232? That's almost like a last-gen TL-S!
Glad they changed the rear but it almost looks like a Ford 500. It's still better.
I guess that's what the new navi looks like, too? Looks like they just reskinned it.

It also irked me how you could only get it in the top-of-the-line model but Toyota/Lexus are doing the same thing so I guess that is the norm.

Much better! I still can't believe the power on the hybrid. Is this just a result of the new calculations (causing the numbers to increase), or did Honda tweak things like the exhaust and intake for more power?

My 03 Accord goes off lease in late November. I guess I'll pick up one of these since it was a pretty trouble-free 3 years. I wasn't going to get another Accord because I didn't want the exact same car, but these changes are enough for me to get another.

There'll be takers of a 4 year old TSX just as there are now - the only thing that will change is that the resale values will come down closer to historic values (cause now they are a bit high).
Biker, who drives a 99 Accord and is very tempted by that V6 6MT.

Okay, now look carefully (very carefully) at the tachometer.. look beside the gear position indicator. Am I the only one who sees a dark black box? Is that the smart maintenance light, or is that a possible SportShift box?

I think that a lot of changes have got to be due to competition from Mazda who treats their cars as if they are luxury .... 4 year warranties, Xenon lights, nav, heated seats ... even on the 3 - so it I can understand why they are upping the Civics & Accords.
In turn, I hope that this means that Acura will also be making changes like a 5 year warranty & what not ...

Someone over at tov said the brochure shows that the hybrid has mirror mounted turn signals. Can anyone confirm?
