You're talking about the stripped down model. You could use the same argument for everything, like unpainted door handles to crank windows (they're Powered in Gen 7, but it's the first to be so). It probably wouldn't cost that much more, but they're trying to save costs. And an extra two speakers do save money.

moo and s2k, enough with the running dialog. Takes up too much space.

Moo, you know your opinions do NOT count. But we do like hearing them

I don't think you're going to get 80hp out of I/H/E and an ecu upgrade.

I wouldn't mind. I'm thinking 5-speed, ABS, 160hp engine for aroudn 15k is a bargain.

That stripped down Accord has more features and power than your 94 Accord. I dont think that you understand that by offering the DX model they can say, starting at 15k or whatever. Not to mention that its a great deal for those who need something bigger than a Civic but dont have much to spend.

Just becuase you want an EX or LX doesnt mean everyone thinks the same.

Let's compare Altima


To Camry


To Passat


And then the Accord


Well, at least the Passat gives the Accord some competition.

I'd like to see what the turn signal looks like with red over it. On the RSX board there's a mod we do using red film and a heat gun over the orange in the taillights, and you'd never know it WASN'T originally all red until you got up real close and felt the surface. Of course you get the idiots that red out the back up lights too
If the tail light housing is clear, it must use an amber bulb to be street legal.
