Default Wheres the towing eye!

This sounds like a realy stupid question but I have a (broken) 2005 Accord Tourer Exec and I cannot see how you can tow it as there is no towing eye. It looks as if it would be possible if you removed the front spoiler but surely that sholdnt be necessary.

The user manual is no help. Am I being stupid or have they really designed a car like this?

The Hondas don't have an actual 'towing hook'.
they have 'transport tiedowns'
usually 2 hooks at the sides on the frame in front and rear.
Some only one hook in the rear welded to the trunk floor pan.
And I understand what you mean, if you hook onto the front and then pull, the tow line will pull up into the bottom of the front bumper.

You call it a "tourer exec" so I suspect you're not in USA?? UK/Europe/Asia has a completely different car called Accord.

Still, I don't really have anything to add to the DUDE's answer.
