Default Honda Releases 2003 Pricing

- Accord prices will start at $15,800 for the DX Sedan now equipped with ABS, larger 15 inch wheels and tires, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, LED instrumentation and power windows.

- The best-selling Accord model, the LX Sedan equipped with a 4-cylinder engine and automatic transmission, is priced at $20,000, an increase of $310 or 1.57 percent.

- All 4-cylinder sedan models equipped with the automatic transmission sold in California also will meet the State's SULEV (Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle) emission requirement, a first for gasoline-powered mass-market vehicle.

- The Accord V6 LX, the best-selling V6 powered model, will carry a pricetag of $23,000, an increase of $400 or 1.77 percent. New standard equipment includes a security system with remote control and larger 16 inch wheels and tires.

- Other new features available on 2003 Accord models include side curtain airbags, a Voice Activated Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation system and the second-generation Traction Control System (TCS) integrated with Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) for V6 models, and much more. Interior feature enhancements include increased front interior room and upgraded audio systems.

- The Honda Civic will increase an average of 0.9 percent on a sales weighted basis or $155, despite significant equipment enhancements on the sedan and coupe models. Improved seat fabric, rear adjustable outboard headrests, a sporty 4-spoke steering wheel and a new center console with armrest and storage compartment (LX/EX) are just some of the new interior enhancements. The price of the best-selling Civic, the LX Sedan with automatic transmission, is $16,010, up $100 or 0.6 percent. There have been no changes to the prices of the Civic Si or Civic Hybrid models.

- The Honda Odyssey minivan receives a significant number of new convenience features for 2003. An intermittent rear window wiper with washer, an automatic power down/up driver's window and a new "Wave" key are among the latest improvements. Standard equipment additions increase the price of the 2003 Odyssey an average of 0.55 percent on a sales weighted basis or $150. Odyssey pricing starts at $24,400 for the LX model

Destination and handling charges remain unchanged at $460 for all vehicles.

-----------------

I cut out the fat. www.Hondanews.com has the full story.

Once again, Honda is providing more features at almost the same price, unlike GM which makes features optional and raises the price.

I believe the "wave" key is the term for the new key used in the 2003 Accord. The keyless entry system is built into the key and I believe it is laser cut, like a Lexus; BMW; Audi; VW type key if you have seen one of those.

Yeah, I think I know whaty ou are talking about. They are flat on the outside, and have a "wave" pattern on the inside.

Also, is the key going to retract into the fob, like the switchblade style Audi/VW keys? I'd hope it does, so it doesnt poke you.

Default 03 Accord Prices

I forgot to bring my binder home, but the 03 Accord prices have only went up about $250-$350 in each trim level.
The 02 EX V-6 was $25,760 and 03 EX V-6 is $26,160.
Only a $300 price increase and the car received 40 more hp, heated seats, telescoping wheel, 16" alloys, EBD, high speed TCS, 5speed auto, dual zone climate control, side curtain air bags, etc. Any other car company would have jacked the price up at least a grand.

The 03 Accord EX V-6 6 speed is $200 higher than the sedan at $26,360.
Navigation of course is a $2000 option on all EX models.



For $28,000 you can have a fully loaded accord with navi.
A fully loaded altima or camry wo/ navi is in the $29,000 range.

2003 Honda Accord Prices

It's a bargain - only 28 grand for navi and a 6 speed in the coupe.

No switchblade style key. More like the Lexus where the black part at the top of key is huge to accomodate unlock, lock, trunk release, panic, ignition immobilizer, and the auto window down features.
