Looks different!!!what engine is it? only ask because of the single exhaust

Good looking cars these. i was following one yesterday and my dad thought it had an aftermarket bodykit on it the way the styling was Out of curiosity is her name Lyndsay?

[CatherineJ]

I really like the new Accord.

[D6GMB]

It is the 2.0 engine.Yes her name is lynsey and decided to treat her to a new reg.
Think i got a bargain from dvla got it for £380 all in!!!!!!.
This is our third accord and really like the reliability,running costs,comfort.
I have a focus st (you can see it sulking in the background of one of the pics)

Nice motor. Really like alot of the newer stuff to come out of Honda. Saying that though, I love the majority of the old stuff too

Is it just me or is a Ford Focus about as "tacky" as you can get?

I think that colour is called Polished Metal. They are making the Civic in that colour this year too and the one's I have seen look really good.

Sadly my company car allowance wouldn't stretch to it, nor could I wait 5 months for one to be built so my Civic comes next weekend is red.

Always comes from those with no cars listed...

I like it, nice colour, looks very grown up. They have done a good job!

[BelperJim]

Nice motor. They do look better in the flesh. My friend used to have the Type S was a fantastic everyday car. Was a laugh on country roads and not bad on the M6 toll either

Very nice, really like the look of these!

Can't help think that paying £380 for a reg that just looks like a normal plate is a bit daft though

[delboy735]

Good looking car..............its just that it appears to suffer from the same aesthetic problems as the Avensis, it's wheels just look lost in those arches. Only Audi as a mainstream manufacturer seems to get its wheel sizes looking right.

Having said that, I like it rather a lot!!!

Not a big fan of the new shape accords but who knows may grow on me. Nice colour too.

I wanted to get my wife a private plate that spelt her name.
Her name is lynsey,the only plate that i could get with anything close was lyn53y at a very
reasonable £34995!!!!!!!!!!!!!.So ly59nsy at £380 in my eyes is a total bargain.
Also my wife is delighted with the plate.

Fair play

To be honest the pics dont do the wheels any justice,in the flesh they dont look to bad.
But i do agree with what you say,i think it is all down to the sheer size of the bodies on the cars nowadays.
The new accord feels and looks sustantially bigger than the previous model.
I have a set of penta alloys (grey 5 spokes)that i had on my old accord and decided to try them on the new car and they look cack
they actually look smaller than what is on the car even thought they are the same size.I was going to keep them and swap them about to be a bit different but think i will try and sell them.
