That would be sweet if they provided something other than a foot brake :(

Well, the MPV and the Freestar (!) had real handbrakes, but the footbrake doesn't stop me from sliding the Ody around  ;D  (as long as you don't have a hand release....)

"The Accord coupe has got to be the best car I have driven this year"

On of my biggest pet peeves is the improper (is there ever a good time?) use of the word "got"..

"The Accord coupe has got to be the best car I have driven this year" sounds SO much better.  I don't mean to nit-pick, but it jumped out at me.

And just so I'm keeping this on topic, the accord coupe is a beautiful car.  I much prefer the angular lines of this generation to the previous one.   That said, the '98-'01 Accord coupes are my favorite.

So what you are saying is.  What I said sounds SO much better than what you said. :P

Me: "The Accord coupe has got to be the best car I have driven this year"

You:"The Accord coupe has got to be the best car I have driven this year"

Eeeeery.

Third gear notchy-ness and in-engagement when cold is eliminated by replacing the MTF with Amsoil.

You're not alone in your praise of the Accord coupe. I read a head to head comparison review (Edmunds I think) with the Altima coupe and the Honda won just about every catagory hands down.
My first ever GM ownership experience  can best be described as   "Fool me once...."

I like "The Accord coupe has to be the best car I haven't driven this year"
In a world where the dead are returning to life, the word "trouble" loses much of its meaning.

A 40K accord???? Crazy if you ask me given that these are some of the deals I found on US cars:
07 A4 Front Trak for about 25K
07 335i coupe for $40K
new A5 coupe for $40K
G35 sport sedan for $33K
Until Honda reflects the strong value of our dollar, there seems to be better alternatives.
