They ganked the sedan....the 6 speed manual is disabled for the sedan. Basically, Honda wants no more sedan sleepers for the Accord.

A true shame.

 

Actually, the 08 coupe is about 250 lbs heavier than the outgoing model. It does make 190 hp, but still has 160 lb/ft of torque. Given that it's making more hp but equal torque, it's about the same power to weight as the 07 LX coupe. I just added the hp and torque numbers together for both cars and figured out an average figure per pound.

I'm waiting till the stats come out on performance numbers but I'll be anything they'll be very close or the same as the 07s.

 

Saw a 08 sedan accord today. I have to say it doesn't really look too bad in person. It does however kinda look like bmw and RL mixed together. Too bad they don't offer v6 sedan anymore.

 

i saw a sedan in person, it's ok....not my cup of tea tho lol

the coupe looks a little better to me, it'll grow on me i'm sure

 

actually they do offer v6 sedan. it has vcm (cylinder deactivation for when it is appropriate). but, definitely go with the coupe for anyone that is interested. article on usatoday, and you can go on cars.usatoday.com to learn more. i was skeptical until yesterday. agree with everyone that the coupe should be the way to go.

 

photoshopped pic off the net. This is how i would like it to look eventually



My 08 accord coupe EXL V6 6 speed. Black/Black. HFP Skirt kit will be here tomorrow. 2 inch drop comming soon. Still waiting for aftermarket parts to come out. This car in generaldoesnt look good in pictures. Looks way better in person. Ive had people sell out the pictures and then see it in person and fall in love.Looks best in Black and Silver. Sedans arent as nice but still have potential. The biggest problem with these cars is the huge gap in the wheel well. Honda should have made them sit lower and killed that gap. You can probably fit 22's on this car. I have 19's at the moment. I have the stock 18's with tires for sale if anybody is interested. Less than 100 miles on wheels and tires. Would look real nice on older gen lowered accords.

 

Any word of a comptech supercharger kit for this car? (or any other kit for that matter?)

 

Your right about the wheel gap!!! It's ridiculous, seems like the gap gets bigger every generation. Your coupe looks good with the black wheels and dark tint. How much for the factory wheels/tires????

 

The only reason for the low gas mileage ratings are the new EPA standards, i dont like the new standards because they make all new cars look horrible.

I'm tried of reading magazines, and hearing people complain about styling, blah blah blah, i cant remeber how many times i've heard "i think the new accord looks like a (insert car of choice here) mixed with...you get the point. When i see the new accord, i think "new accord" not "isuzu rodeo raping a chevy aveo with a kia sedona watching" like alot of honda haters seem to think. I think that the new design is very nice on both the coupe and sedan, i just wished they would have priced them a little cheaper...im also pissed they didnt offer the 2.4 with a 6 speed, you can get a new altima 2.5s with a 6 speed for 18k

 

$1400 shipped for the wheels and tires. Top of the line Michellen All season tires. Less than 100 miles on them. The tires at a good price are $250 - $300 each new.
