SH-AWD Accord

[dualacord]

Has anyone heard of it well ive seen a couple videos of it on honda and the model that they were test driving was in fact the Accord oh my god it looked sick as hell cant wait till they start releasing them to the public, but yeah check it out at the Honda web site.

[ACC0RD22]

yea, wow, I got all excited about nothing . . . no pictures or anything to substantiate your claims?

[NAiL05]

I think that is already applied in the RL but i can be wrong. I dunno if they are gonna put in the accord but i have seen the video on the temple of vtec site.

currently yes, it is only in the RL, but I would like to see it in an accord, would make for a pretty sick car IMO.

This thread sucks.

Thx here you go.

Well here it is

it doesnt explicitly say that that accord has the sh-awd system installed. even though, if it did, it was probably just a test mule. it doesnt seem like it, because it looked finished.

[FuriousJDMLBM]

It said in the blurb at the bottom of the video that the SH-AWD system would be installed on USDM RL's and JDM Legends. Look at the tail lights...that's not an Accord.

Besides, the USDM Accord and the JDM Accord aren't the same.

[accordaffair]

It certainly looks like they stuck it an an accord in the video to me. The front end says honda and its an accord front end...the back looks like an accord except the lights. Perhaps that's the legend in japan. I did hear that would be in an acura in the states.


So deever, thats what you need to save up your money for!

[daived]

isnt our version of the accord, the inspire in japan? that would account for the headlights. and the JDM Legend is our RL.

Well thx for informing me but it look like an 2006 front end and in other countries the new Accords look identical to the TL and RL .

thats a tsx. in europe and asia, their accord is our tsx and the inspire is our accord. rewatching the video, i know for sure that the white sedan is a tsx/euro accord, the black minivan is the jspec odyssey, and the black sedan is the usdm accord/ jdm inspire-even says so on the license plate. none of which normally come with sh-awd. if you carefully watch, the inspire has the same taillights as the us accord.
now, im not sure, but i think that the RL is based off its own unique platform- which is why it has awd in the first place. if this is true then none of the cars in the video have sh-awd and are there just for eye-pleasure.

heres proof of the tsx/accord

[DeathFromAbove]

anyone with eyes can clearly see inspire on the would-be USDM accord if not the actualy emblem, the licence plate. and yeah the jdm accord is the tsx. as ^^^ said and yeah rl is legend, duh..

what i wanna know is....what is the TL elsewhere? or is it a USDM car only? I would have thought that since the vigor was the inspire....that the tl replacing the vigor would have also remained the inspire
