My Grandpas new ride...

[VTEC_Inside]

2008 Accord EX-L V6 Navi



I tried talking him into a CTS, but meh...

Picked it up earlier today. It had a whopping 4kms on it (Pre-PDI).

Nicer than his 2002 V6 in a lot of little ways, but again, meh...

Nice!  That's the proper color for that car as well.  The V6 is going to be a gem, but just let it go through the break-in period and change the oil by the oil life indicator, NOT BY THE 3 MONTH OR HOWEVER MANY KILOMETERS
'RULE.'

Nice car, boring colour.

[VTEC_Inside]

I like the colour.

I went with one of the dealer guys to pick it up this morning from another dealer.

I put a gentle 105kms on it before handing the keys over to my grandpa. Alas, he's a little rough on his cars, but he wont be winding it up to 6000rpm...

I also drove a 2008 EX-L 4cyl Coupe (auto) after dropping it off at our dealer for PDI. Not for me.

My dad has a similar colour on his Passat which is maybe why I'm bored of it

[CJ]

Our Camry and Accord are sort of that color.  Our Accord IS that color, but the Camry is a darker, deeper shade of grey.  It also has more flake.

[USA_Idol]

Nice car.  If it were mine, I'd rather have it in Basque Red.

Don't you mean nice colour, boring car?

I thought that was a BMW 5-Series when I saw the side profile. 


Congrats to your grandpa! Nice car. I like the new Accord a lot. Saw them upclose at Geneva and they're awesome, especially the design and the interior.

Don't you have a completely different Accord?

I don't mind the new Accord.  It does look a bit like a 5-Series but for non enthusiast it's a really good car.

[Pommes-T]

Yep. I guess it's your Acura TSX (?) again...

[SVT_Power]

Yep. I guess it's your Acura TSX (?) again...

yeah it is the TSX

[BimmerM3]

They're soooooo big....

I'm sure they're pretty nice cars though. He should look into some new suspension components like I did.

actually, the new accord, especially the ex v6 is a mighty awesome car. i always like driving my mom's new one. her only complaint - the size. she thinks it's too big for her needs (being that this is a second car).

[MX793]

Yep. I guess it's your Acura TSX (?) again...

Yeah, except Honda decided to slap an ungainly and ugly looking "blade" grille on the front when they made it an Acura.

[VTEC_Inside]

Looks a lot better with the door mouldings (installed today over lunch)

[CJ]

I really like that car.

[VTEC_Inside]

Anyone want his old one:

We get the same one. 

I've seen only one on the road so far and they look really nice. I checked them out in detail at Geneva and was very impressed. Wouldn't mind owning one myself.
