They're at my local dealers so I saw a couple today. I didn't stop and look but you can tell it's larger than before.

Hondas FTW for me! 3 Accords in the family out of four cars. My 1993 has 211,XXX and is running strong

Really don't think you can go wrong with either from a practical standpoint. Generally speaking Toyota is a softer ride and Honda is a bit more of a driver's car. My wife had a bulletproof Celica GT when we first married and I have had 3 Accords. Now she drives a 2002 CRV-EX (which may be the best overall of any of them to date) and I drive a Toyota (well sortof....Lexus GS400). Whether you trade one (hard to beat the resale) or drive it forever both brands are pretty much worth every penny compared to anything else.....so just find the one that suits you personally, do the routine maintenance, and happy driving! Don't forget to wash, polish and wax more than any normal human being.

well, i went to the dealership since i had some free time today and all they had were the sedans and no coupes. it seems to be longer than the previous gen accords, and not to mention all the dark colored ones had DISO all over them

. i also noticed a brand new fit on the lot that was keyed on one whole side, i just don't understand people these days...

BigAl, I stopped today to take a look and there was only one on the lot. Black/beige/DISO (rofl) with cloth interior. The coupes come out next week (9/22?).

yeah, towards the end of the month according to the salesguy. by the way, the person who keyed a total of 6 brand new cars on the lot, was some lady who was pissed off about something or another, and retaliated. yes, they caught her!

I guess there is more Hondas I would consider over Toyotas but all in all neither. Very bland brands but good commuter cars thats it.

is it just me, or does it seem like most all the newer toyota's look very similiar to the camry these days? The all-new Toyota Corolla

MyTime · 10-05-07, 03:34

why isn't anyone metioning Nissan? Right now I do believe they are offering the best rates as well as the best bang for your dollar! Check out the new altima coup too. The six has more HP than either at the moment and it's quality built just like the others

Can't compare Nissan initial Quality or long term Reliability to Honda or Toyota.. Period!

If it didn't have Corolla on the front of it....

Had a chance to see the the new Accord in person last weekend. I like it much more then in the pics. Pretty sharp all around and the interior is top notch IMHO. I just wish they didn't make it bigger and heavier like they do every year. Also, fuel economy is down on the 4cyls but I like the added power. Overall, I think it will do well as always.
