http://www.hondacars.com/models/model_overview.asp?ModelName=Accord+Sedan :) Cool beans! :)

Well, they're not really "EXCLUSIVE", since you can go to your local dealerhsip and look at them, but you get my point :) Here's the pics that I took at my test drive of the sedans (LX Black - not pictured - and the Grey V6, which is pictured). I would have more, but my digital camera died :( :

Green EX w/ tan leather: Front - Front 2 - Back - Interior (Drivers) - Interior (Passengers) - Windshield - <a class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://mywebpages.comcast.net/rbloedow/accord16.JPG" target=blank>Dash
</A>Grey EX V6 w/ black leather: Front - Back
Comparison of '02 Accord and '03 Accord: Fronts - Backs
Silver LX w/ Grey Cloth: Front - Back - Wheel - Interior (Car had yet to be detailed) -
Black EX w/ Tan Interior: Front - <a class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://mywebpages.comcast.net/rbloedow/accord6.JPG" target=blank>Back
</A>
I posed as a student who was doing a comparison article on 4 door sedans for a marketing class. They took it hook line and sinker! I even got to test drive the V6 sedan, and a 4 cylinder LX sedan. I sedan seems very peppy, and the v6 is quite a powerful car (it feels just as good as the V6 the Nissan Altima Has). I wasn't able to push the car to it limits, since a salesman accompanied me on the ride :| I can't tell you much about the ride, since I'm no car EXPERT, but it seemed very nice in both cars ('03 LX and EX V6). The seats are more comfortable in the '03, with the leather feeling more luxurious, and it has MUCH more room. I looks much better in person then it does in picture. The car just "feels" more expensive. All of the doors close with a solid "THUD", and there was also very little road noise in the cabin.

I read that there's lots of hard plastic on the dash of the new Accord and it's no better than the dash on the '03 Altima according to some people on the Car & Driver Forums.

LMAO! No. I'd have to sell a kidney just so I could have money for a down payment :) I'm just curious :) I need to make up a good story about why I want to look at it, and take pictures! ;)

haha.. cool. i do that all the time, just go and test drive cars.
its really hard for me to make believeable stories though, because i'm only 21 and roll up to the dealership with a brand new car.. its hard to fool them into thinking that im looking for a new one.

I guess they don't want the Mozilla user business. I guess they only serve the camry and accord of browsers: IE and Netscape. I guess they figured out that people who use mozilla are smart enough not to buy a car just because 400000 other people did.

Well, I'll be rollin' up in my 89 Maxima, but I have already used the "looking to buy a new car" story before, and the same dealership. Hmm, maybe I should tell them that I'm doing an editorial for a website..... :) I'll just tell them that I'm writing it for Anandtech :)

Would explain why I can't get to the website.

Oh well, doubt I'll be trading in my perfectly good 97 Acura CL 3.0 for one of these.

ALright! I've got pics! They'll be up in a minute. I posed as a student who was doing a comparison article on 4 door sedans for a marketing class. They took it hook line and sinker!

I'll have quite a few pics up in a second :)
