Glove compartment - Tim, You got gloves? Sh*t that thing is just a place for wife's to hide sh*t while you are not looking... brushes, make-up, napkins... then they want to use it while driving!!

Cup holders - Dont drink and drive, this is a no brainer.

Moon roof - I saw a moon in Tim's earlier post... little guy, pants down

Park it anywhere without worry - This is silly, The Honda has a higher theft rating than almost anything on the planet. That and in the sea of mall cars, they all look like a white Honda... no worry, take the closest one??

Gas mileage - P-cars get gas milage too, heck even my Suburban gets gas milage... silly reason

Decent sounding stereo - Porsche stereo's dont sound good because no one wants to listen to anything other than that beautiful flat 6 out back.


Hate to be a pooper Tim, Its a great car, but who cares

(I hope you know I am just busting your chops a bit, surely no hurtful comments intended)

Biggest con - It's not a Porsche!

Well, at least my 996 had a glove compartment!

BTW - the Honda stereo is not as good as the Porsche's stereo.

Please add this to Honda's Pros:

1) No RMS leakage
2) No intermediate shaft snapping
3) You don't care where you park it.

I keep hoping I will forget where I park it, but alas, I always remember and unfortunately it is always there when I get back.

I really hate seeing it in my driveway.

Before I get branded as a snob....just for the record, I do like the looks of the new Accord coupe, but I like my P car better...and here is why...just for the boys

One more thing about the Honda, I don't mind which family member drives it.

I am sure that are many more pictures of beautiful women next to a Porsche than an Accord.

I am not so sure...
I mean there are a lot more Accords to take pictures with AND many of the people "wiling" to take the type of pictures we are talking about are just regular people. So it stands to reason that there might be more pictures of girls and Honda's then with P-cars or other exotics

Tim ? Are you holding out on us ?

Sorry Tim...

And BTW I don't mean to offend anyone with a Subaru or Subaru fans... Hey at least most of their cars have real boxer engines, they kick butt at rallies, and with the right skills they can be butt magnets as well...

With the following evidence, I would recommend Tim to consider putting more "performance" stickers on his Accord, do Lambo doors, and "tune" it up a notch after a visit to Pep Boys as a means to attract more talent...
