Beautiful color. So much better this year than the '07 Red...that crap was nasty ugly.

Nice ride...congrats. Do you love the Navi or what? =)
 
That looks exactly like the color of our Nissan Pathfinder. Ours is called Merlot Pearl. It is a beautiful color... lots of pearl flecks... very sparkly.:cool:

But as rich looking as it is... it is like black in that it looks dirty and shows spots whenever it rains at all. When it's clean and dry (like it will be here in Florida for the next 6 months:)) it looks fantastic.

To this day, we still get compliments on what a pretty color it is. Just be forewarned: it will take lots of upkeep to maintain it's stunning looks.

Cloud Rider Stainless Steel bumper inserts????
To protect the wide open AC condensor from small stones,birds,insects and road debris. There are others out there that make them, but I do perfer the Cloud Rider because of the quality of their Stanless Steel.

Man it must really get cold where you are, battery blanket and an engine block heater. I will have to say that red has to be one of the nicest reds I have seen on a car in along time. I like the one you have better than the Salsa red that Toyota has.

Nice car. That's one of the two colors I'm considering.

What part of Canada?
 
Very nice car (and color) :thmsup: I'd have a tough time choosing between the Basque red and polished metal.

IMO, the 8th gen Accord would have also looked great in Noble green pearl.
 
That's easily the nicest shade of red since Bordeaux Red.

Enjoy.
 
Love the color! That deep red reminds me of my grandpas old Cadillac with the white top.

Anyway, you have any pictures of that grill insert?
 
Honest-to-god.. After seeing the 08 accord sedans, i told myself i wouldnt even consider one, i just liked the 7th gen sedans esp the 06-07's so much more.

But now your car got me liking them :)

LOVE IT!


Love the coupes too, id be hard pressed to decide betweent the two

Which of your past Hondas had Bordeaux Red?

I'm trying to remember the name of the dark red on my '88 LXi. They changed the dark red slightly for '89, making it slighly lighter and slightly more towards the "tomato" side of red. This new color reminds me of the darker '88 red.
 
You mentioned that your new 08 Accord Sedan had a BACK UP Camera included with the NAV unit. Is that standard with the Nav unit on all 08's with Nav? I don't see a back up camera listed in the equipment list provided by Honda? ????????

The '08 Accords w/Nav do NOT come standard with Backup Camera. It is an extra accessory than can be ADDED by the dealer.

I think it was kinda dumb to exclude the camera when everything else (except Civic) come standard with it. In my opinion, the Accord is large enough to warrant the camera as standard equipment. But it was probably a price-point decision on Honda's part.
 
More pics please....

:banana::banana::banana: Awesome looking in that color! Can you show us a few pics with a direct SIDE view (I'd like to see how the larger rear flip looks in direct side profile). Right now I am planning on getting the smaller trunk air damn. Also give us a few FRONTAL :thumbsup: shots.

Thanks for the views!
