The Sept issue of Road&Track has an article (pg 86) on the new Accords upcomming
from Honda. It states "The new domestic Accords, by the way, were unveiled in
Japan in early June, while the US market models were not to be shown until the
end of the month, with a publication release date for the November issues."
Does anyone know how to translate that into when I can buy one?
Now for the quick summary (ie why I'm interested in the first place):
3 body styles: a 4-door sedan and 2 hatchbacks
new more aerodynamic styling; C(x) = .032
engine options include a fuel-injected 2.0 liter 16 valve DOHC
developing 160 bhp JIS (==~ 135 bhp SAE)
top speed ~120 mph
anti-lock brakes optional
handling "very impressive" but "not as crisp and quick as the Prelude"
If anyone has any more concrete information, please let me know.
