they definately were not available in 97 in a 5spd
so i'm guessing the 5th gen V6 was only available in automatic
but if it was available in a 5spd they're rare as hell to find
(i'm still searching)

can any one give more info about this?

 

2003 = first year V6 Accords will have a manual tranny option

 

:werd:

and even then, it's only in the v6 coupes. sedans get no lovin

 

That's because the TSX will fill the role of a 6 spd accord sedan, only far sportier/better looking.

 

I always know that the good cars, the ones that are real nice get the alloys and on the 6's. The 6's also get the dual pipes and the chrome tips. I do live the 4th gen. Love how they sit, love the rear lights. Just an appealign car over all. I hate as balls the front wheel drive and the hendeling. ****, they handel like a 14yr old girl with no bra!. Loose as a mother. And I hate that part, sides, I do love the factory wheels offered in the LX of the 93 / 93.

Something else. Does it matter if I swapped 14's for 15's on the Lx of 92?

 

4th gens Accord are pretty cool. It is much simpler in design than the 5th gens. Owning both I've found that before my H22 swap on my '94, the '90 was a great deal quicker. It also handled better! That was probably just the tires though. It seams easier to fling around. Its strange, my '94 with the swap, suspension, and 17's feels like a tank, put it holds great. The '90 with absolutely nothing, bone stock feels like a Civic, and doesn't want to hold but somehow does. Irritating. I think I'll put the H22 and the suspension in the '90 and call it a day.

 

:thumbup: Really, you think it's second best?!? I do love mine, and what 165thou said about the lights is also true. There's just something about the styling. IMO, the back end of the 7th gens is too.....too something. I might actually like the 6th gen coupe style better than the 7th.

 

The 7th gen tails look similar to the Benz S500, IMO.

 

The last comment, i think is way way off. The Mercedes is in the league of its own shared by BMW. I just beloeve that Honda is a league of it's own.

Example: I have always believed that the 4th gen Accord was the one who made the Acura name. They took that model of car and made it longer, hence The Legend, The Vigor, and now the CL TL and RL. But now they use the Civic as the RSX.

I just think that all the work was based on the 4th gen Accord Sedan car. Maybe I am biased on the 4th gen Accord, Could be, I love my car.

But I want to say, I have seen the 7th or new version of the Accord Coupe. It is definately a copy of Merc S500 tailights. I like the older ones, simply cause it was based on earlier accords and had their type of tail lights.

I also like knowing that the Accord Sedan hasn't shanges sizes on its exterior measurements. I used to think the 4th gen is longer then the the 6th gen. It's not, its is just the long tight lines and the low slung look of the 4th gen.

Although the Accord Sedan has similiar taillight treatment to the earlier sedans. I am still biased to the steel and light mixture.

 

The 4th gen was to the Accord line as the current 7th gen is...it's gonna set the standard for a decade with power, style, reliability, and comfort. However, The Accord Sedan has changed exterior measures greatly. Go check the measures of a 5th gen and then look at a 6th gen. And the CL, TL, and RL are not based off the 4th gen Accord platform. CL and TL are Global Midsize which is based off of 6th gen Accord, and RL is Global Fullsize.
