From TOV...

Looking at an official document right now, the HP for V-6 is 273 hp not 268. Plus there is no engine with 190 hp. Three engines all together, 180 hp for LX and LX-P, 200hp for EX, EX-L, and 273 for EX V6 and EX-L V6
Engine Type
Engine Block/Cylinder Head
Displacement (cc / liter)
Horsepower @ rpm (SAE net, Rev 8/04)
Torque (lb-ft. @ rpm)
Bore and Stroke (mm)
Compression Ratio
Redline

V-6
Aluminum-Alloy
3471 / 3.5
273 @ 6200
250 @ 5000
89 x 93
10.5 : 1
6800
Makes more sense to have slightly more power than Camry and Altima.

If the TSX doesn't get a Turbo or possibly has a 2 engines I assume we can expect at least 225 from the NA 2.4.....

Nevermind.....

3213 / 3274 (LX) lbs 3221 / 3281 (LX-P) lbs

so the next Accord V6 will have more hp than the current base TL

The Accord I4 Ex will have the same hp almost as the TSX.

Likely specs are V6 268 and I4 177 & 190. More than the TL but less than the TSX.

Biker, who believes some idiot would pull out in front of him whether in a sea of DRL equipped cars or not.

Aren't those weight numbers backwards in terms of AT/MT?

on the spoiler.


Until Honda calls it a Prelude, I will remain semi-erect. Give it F/R and I will sport full blown hard on.

I'm sick of how Honda/Acura does the front spoilers. They should be a bumper replacement, not a tack-on job. If Mazda can do it, so can Honda.

I think more aggressive rear taillights would help a lot. The current ones are far too plain. Hopefully the after market will have some nice alternatives.

I'm just sick of the nose-heavy FWD-ish look of Hondas. I would love to see some short front overhangs on their cars.

I take it from the above that no one knows for sure on the embargo lift date and that there are some unhappy honda people…remember it is just a car and not a major life source for us….it will be better than the last one…it will fulfill your needs but maybe not all your wants…true with every car….I have to tell myself that too from time to time

Why did Honda take a step backwards away from LED's?

Intro date is supposed to be 9/12/07, but embargo date is tomorrow so you will get all the info (maybe except price) then.
