I prefer the Euro better:

Although this version has less interior space, I would sacrifice it for a much better looking exterior.

Do you get both version in Singapore?

Mirage77 · 06-07-2006, 12:06 PM

Yeah we do. But the butt of the non-Euro version is differently styled. It's very confusing, apparently the model we get here is specifically made for the South-East Asian market:

Thats also what our pre-facelift non Euro Accord, otherwise known as the American Accord, looks like Mirage77. Maybe you guy will also be in line for this same facelift?

Either way, its still U G L Y. And to think Honda's marketing had the gall to say the car draws inspiration from a cheetah.

More like a hippo!

I wouldn't mind as well. Is there anything wrong with wanting it...?

Yeah Mr. Mercedes, I don't what they were thinking styling the American Accord so differently (and far more hideously) from the Euro Accord.

Well, it's just that it's a Honda! Wouldn't you prefer something like a Ferrari!

IMO, it's like wanting to have the Ford Mondeo as your wallpaper!

Sure, a Ferrari would be great, but the Honda Accord is a sensation, IMO. It certainly isn't any Ford Mondeo.
