Default Accord Updates for 2006

Excuse this thread if someone has already posted on this. But, I was just on Honda.com and there are quite a bit of changes to the Accord for '06. The biggest being a 6-speed manual Sedan now. I was shocked to see that since I hadnt heard any mention of it until now. Other changed appear to be minor(some new colors, different wheels, etc.) Just a heads up...If you all are not already aware of this.

bah! 6-speed looks datedwith the old TL-S rims.
What happened to the old 6-speed coupe rims those rocked.
Honda pulled a GM, reused some parts bin junk......they did the same on the 7th gen civic coupe once too, bah!

I actually really like those rims. They look good on the 6 speeds I think, but they should have kept the split spoke for the coupe. Have you seen the new 16" rims on the Civics EXs? Those are pretty nice.

I'm gagga for the 17"s on the new Si.....
the HFP 17's for the Sedan rock too. I'd love the see the optional 18"s the civic Si will get too.

Yeah I like the TL-S rims, just not on the new Accord, they looked great on the 6th gens. The split spoke fit the 7th gen better IMO.

They look just like the Concept Si wheels that I saw at NYIAS.
