I just got an 06 I4 accord sedan and the gauges are a grey with white needles. I am curious, the brochure shows the gauges as being bluish with white needles. Are the V6 sedan gauges different from the I4?

I never remembered to even looked at the V6 when I was shopping for my I4 to see if they are different. :dunno:


EDIT: added sedan to clarify which body style.

My 2006 EX V6 6spd Coupe has white gauges with little red markings between the speed denominations, and orange-red needles.

I'm also in Canada if that makes any difference... :dunno:

My bad, should of specified the Sedan, I know the coupes have different gauge coloring alltogether.

My brother has a 05 coupe and I really like the orange color of all the lighting at night, especially the gauges.

The sedan has white guages, white needles, and light green backlighing of the buttons.

The coupe has red needles and red backlighting.

My 06 sedan has black backing and white needles with white lighting.

Bad picture, but you get the idea,

Maybe the backlight is turned down a bit making it look darker (more gray).

The brochure does for the 2006 Sedan does indeed look like bluish gauges. I had noticed this, too. I'd bet that it was just a slight printing descrepancy.

Correct, the sedan's gauges are white and grey. I did notice that the brochure shows the grey areas as being blue... but as mentioned above, it was probably a printing descrepancy. The LCD displays seem to have more of a bluish tint in the brochures as well.

Edit:

The gauges look blue in this photo as well

I would have definitely preffered the blue over the grey. I hope the 8th gen Accord gauges are a bit more exciting.
