Default Honda I am angry with you right now

So I go to the dealer even though I know better and ask about the 7th gen Accord Wagon and whether it will be available on the US market.

As of now no plans to bring it to the States

This sucks...I mean really of all the cars being produced in the current line up it is probably the best looking ride out there.

The sedans are ok but the trunk line kinda screws it up.

The coupe just doesn't flow for me at all....but better than the sedan visually.

The wagon.....OMG that thing is gorgeous the lines flow so nicely and the overall look is

So why not bring it to the States?

I think after I saw that video of it, I def. think they should bring it to the states. I think if the sales go well they will bing it to the states hopefully. But I noticed the headlights are way diff. and I find that way more appealing. The Accord headlights look like the civic si and the S2000 headlights. I just think the wagons have a nicer body line.

Did you ever see the white 02 civic with yellow interior? going for like 22 grand? IT was crazy. Had type-R everywhere. I Remeber when my pops bought the 03 accord. The salesperson said " I bet you would die for that car huh?" haha.. I said no. But I saw it on the streets the other day. Some chick was driving it. :rofl:

Actually heard from one of the guys that work there that they are planning on bringing the Type R civic to the states in order to boost sagging sales of the Si model.

He said they have had 6 in stock since they began selling them and only 2 have sold from their dealership....not a good sign at all for Honda design.

Well the guy I talked to said possibly sooner. The Civic Si is really hurtin right now and if you check on the average dealer price it will show how much through incentives and dealer markdown (does that really happen )
