Anyone know if EX or maybe just EX-L will have a power passenger seat?

Got the brochure myself..... power passenger seat on EX V6/6MT :yay:

The Accord is now slowly encroaching in on the Acura TL's turf.

Default Some info on the coupe......

Just got the brochure on the coupe, and no power passenger seat for EX V6. Must be just on the sedan only.

Oh, well. Not gonna let that little oversight deter me.

On the positive side, the coupe looks much more sporty for '06 They've reshaped the decklid and tail lamps so it looks much less like an inverted bath tub and more like a sports coupe. Integrated HMTBL (just like sedan) and LED tail lamps eliminate the need for a rear spoiler, in my opinion.

I think that Honda making VSA standard on an Accord (V6 models) is, again, revolutionizing the industry a bit. How many sub 30k cars are out there with traction control and 4 wheel vehicle stability control standard?

I also like the fact that they have gone to an oil change reminder system that takes into consideration driving habits and environmental conditions, not just mileage. I used to be hard set on changing oil every 3k, and on my car I still do. But the way motors are engineered today (at least Honda engines), changing oil that often is probably a waste of money and oil.
