I was able to see the Accord two weeks ago inside the Honda dealership at the Fort (not yet in the display area).

Looks nice and sporty. I heard they're planning to sell it a very slight premium to the Camry.

No wonder they have a promo for the Accord, kasi may bago na palang lalabas and they need to get their inventory sold....

One of my colleauges in the office has one since Dec 2007. It definitely is an improvement compared to the one it replaced. At least on the exterior.

Although it still is smaller compared to the bulkier 2007 Camry, i would'nt mind it if company is getting me one.

I've seen the "New" Accord but I don't know if it's going to sell in 08? Baka sa 09. Is it like my Accord? http://tsikot.yehey.com/forums/showt...t=4207&page=8p

About interior room, its slightly bigger up front, and slightly smaller at the back.

Interior dimensions... (these are from the USDM models, but the interior dimensions are almost identical to the ASEAN model, so more or less you have an idea of the size)

Hmm... A little shades of a BMW??

Here are the things I've observed with the new accord: more sporty ride, superb handling, more spacious inside including trunk capacity and i definitely think it looks better than the older model.. and it now comes with VSA, 5 speed A/T, telescopic steering wheel adjustment, TPMS and this system, i just don't know how they call it, but it would tell you about your oil's life.

On the other hand, the sound system sucks, by the way, i'm driving the 2.4 model, and comparatively, without any prejudice since I'm a fan of Accord eversince.. but because my dad owns a Galant 240M, i'm able to compare the two. Performance-wise, i'd go with the 240M, it's more responsive and more sporty than my accord, even if it looks like pang "thundercats"..

Hi syano! May I know which Honda branch has the 2.4 for test drive? I went to Honda Makati the other day and they only had the V6 (which was a very nice drive btw!).

I'd like to compare between the 2 engines and the Mazda 6 I also test drove not long ago.

Thanks!
