I'm told that the tan will be identical to the "Toupe / Ivory" in the "02 Accords and that the dash, roll bars, etc, will be black. The red is still ALL red. Silverstone will be very low in numbers and the dealers have been made aware that the '03's will be hard to sell towards the spring / summer. The reps don't give any hints on the 2004. The official slides that I saw (of model introductions through 2005MY) stated that it would be "restyled". Don't expect a huge difference. It certainly will carry the same platform and drive train. Maybe a 10 to 20 hp. bump and shod with 17's and a six speaker / in dash six disc changer...etc. Don't be surprised if they lengthen it by 18" and do a Lexus SC 430 / SLK collapsable hard top, add 180 pounds, some wannabe F-1 gear scheme, ruin it all together, and make our '00 - '03's all that much more special.

Uh, no. Key words are: "who told" him? Engineers at the Honda Plant in Japan? An exec with American Honda? The dealer? Like they're in the loop. The neighbor across the street? The boogie monster?

It could be believable, but for me personally, I would like to see confirmed sources. There are so many topics these days concerning what is going to happen to the MY 03's and MY 04's and even '05's. I suppose it's understandable since we're in that time of year where the new models are on the verge of coming out.

No harm done in discussing it, tho.

 

We really really need YELLOW/YELLOW
YELLOW/BLACK SUCKS! It's almost impossible to keep the black interior dust free...............

 

Yo Pete..... If that is a true statement, concerning yellow on yellow. The name then fits perfectly, your kidding... right?

 

Fugly Prelude

 

I think there should be black interior in the suzuka blue. Suzuka blue IMO looks the best on the S, but the blue interior looks pretty bad. anyone else agree w/ me?

 

I'd still like to see black and tan interior as a option.

 

I heard that for the '03s, Supercharger would be an option and it is about $5000. The Honda factory warranty doen't come with this option and you cannot buy it separately. Can someone confirm that for me?

Also, occasional 1st -2nd gear grinds and engine bogs come standard, they are produced by an anti-racing device which will be activated randomly to discourage the driver from street racing.

 

I am surprised no one has mentioned the possibility of optional fog lights for the 2003 model. Anyone heard bout that? Sounds possible.
