New Taffeta Coupe w/Black Interior

[arasheht]

Here it is at last! My new Accord! Bad pics because it has been raining for the past week, but once the sun comes out I'll post new ones.

That sucks that the US doesn't get the black leather option in its Taffeta exterior. The tan is too old looking for me.

[Accordgal]

Pacific Honda, closest one to me on the North Shore

Haha, yes it is! I transferred them from my old civic. I figure it keeps the originals clean for another 6 months until I throw them out.

Nice, I love the color combo wish we had that option here.

Acctually i am thinking about buying 2005 Acura RL just because black leather isn't available on taffeta white 08 accord coupe.
What if you buy white coupe in Canada and bring to US - i'd have to go for service to the dealer i bought it from or to any dealer in USA? It sounds kinda crazy but i cant live with ivory leather in white car.

[peazs]

^ i believe you can bring it to any certified honda dealer for service. but they are called stealerships for a reason :D bring it elsewhere if u can

[Andrew 212]

No, i mean for warranty service - for free service. After warranty i would not go to a dealer for service - too much $$$$$

[Andrew 212]

Is accord more expensive in Canada? It seems like aero kit is double the price.

[arasheht]

I got this accord for around 44k, thats with taxes and financing and extended warranty, plus the areo kit, fogs, and tint.


I would say its much, MUCH more expensive. Having said that though, most the accessories i did get were at employee pricing. Kit cost 1500.

[Andrew 212]

Wow! I can get same car in US for 10k less. Damn. I'll have to go ex-l v6 at no navi red, black,or gray metallic with black leather. Acura RL is nice but only premium fuel and 16 city/24 highway isnt great.
What mileage you guys get with v6 automatic whoever has one? Fueleconomy.gov says its like 19 city/28 highway.

Honda did their research on the color combos and in the US, particularly California, people wanted a tan/wood interior with a white interior as it feels more high class like a Mercedes or BMW. however, I think they screwed up in not making the black available with white exterior on the coupe, as the coupe is playing to a different market. Had I purchased a white coupe, I would definitely have wanted black interior. I agree that tan color in a coupe just doesn't look right, but it's perfect for the sedan IMO...

I'm just gonna randomly throw this out here, but I love the black interior with the white body. It looks sexy on both the inside and the outside. The black actually makes the car sportier IMO. Had it been tan with wood interior I would have leaned towards the black coupe.

[dbassett74]

I fully agree regarding the coupe as I indicated. I sat in a black interior (silver exterior) sedan at the dealer and just thought the black interior cheapened up the looks quite a bit on the sedan. The black definitely is more sporty than luxurious... I was initially disappointed that black wasn't available with white exterior when configuring the car online. I almost didn't even look at the car because of this. I have always liked black interior. However, once I saw the white sedan in person, I was instantly sold on the tan. It looked like a Mercedes...
