then even if 2008 accord is available in sept 07 it will not fit your expectation of putting 2 child seat and a adult behind.
Yupe ..... if it has to be a Honda, then the answer is either a Stream of Odyssey - just MHO :wink:

I used to think we have a very nice interior design in our CL7's. Definitely beats the previous generation Camry with that ugly looking CD player and Mazda 6's easy to scratch plastics.

......until I sat in my friends new Camry. Interior design has been upgraded and glows very nicely at night. Meters also look nice. They also got dual air-con controls now and some kind of air purifier.

I really think it's time for a New Accord.. starting to feel dated a bit.

The CL7/9 is narrow. The MarkX has a big hump in the center.

The Camry is wide, has a flat floor/seat and rear aircon vents. I think it is possible to sit 2 child seats and still fit 1 adult fairly comfortably. I am hoping the new Accord will also be similar.

I am also looking at something a little more luxurious/executive than the Stream/Odyssey. In my test drives of various vehicles, sedans are in generally quieter and more comfortable than MPV/SUVs. Even while the Lexus RX is very quiet, it is still a bit bumpy over humps. And I still think sedans generally look better, although MPV/SUVs are practical if you need the space/seats. (I am currently driving a Forester)

Does the new Camry has a flat floor at the back like the Civic?

I sat in front and din notice. I only noticed the air con vents at the back.... wish we had those.

Yes it does. (there is a very slight hump) The seat is also like a bench which makes it suitable for child seats and squeezing more people in a row.

Think the 4door looks better than the coupe...
But the front grille looks a bit Cadilac-ish..
I wonder if Kah will put in a taw-kay looking grille instead...like they did for the local camry :lol:

I'm sure thats the USDM model rite?

Wonder if the bulge on the headlights is going to be on the real car or something to throw spy photos off?
