Hope to join you guys soon. Yeah, about the colors, I'm flexible. I just wish Honda offered some more variety. I know I really am not interested in the silver UNLESS it is an emergency and that is all I can get. I do want a 6 speed coupe, I don't like automatics, even though most of my driving is in rush hour Wash, DC traffic. Honda makes some incedible manual/clutch combinations that are a joy to drive rather than a chore.
I've got a Prelude 5 spd "base" model now with over 85,000 miles. The car has been great, few (but not NO) problems and the car is still a joy to drive. Too bad they don't make the Prelude anymore 
. I think the Accord will be a more accomadating ride though. I'm not complaining about the Prelude's ride by that last sentence, what I mean is its a little tough to find a comfortable driving position and the seats are so/so as far as comfort is concerned.
Not to start a huge debate or anything, but I've been in both, and the Prelude isn't half the car that the Accord is.
On another note, go with the graphite pearl color if you get a 7th gen, I regret not getting it.
