i didnt pick a civic or a lude for the following reasons. 1- everybody and thier mothers got a hooked up civic. i want to be different and pull out the potential from a large sedan. 2- why a lude when the lude weighs about 20lb more than accordsedan 6gen. i ust want a project and i want to be different and a accord is a good enough challenge to keep me busy for a long time.
