yah, see. hahahaha. i like that new accord too. been always kind of a fan of the TSX which is the euro-accord in japan.
but im not really a sedan kinda guy. this will be for the wife.
i have no idea, krunk. i dont know anything about the new accord other than it looks nice, supposedly smaller than the earlier gen, nimble, MT is pretty fun to drive. not that im getting the MT, but that's wat i read.
for me though, it will be another year before i get one cause i let the dealer do the 40k mile service on the 09' last summer (i literally had no time to do the work) so i want to make sure i get the last drop out of that before i trade it in. btw, the oil is still over filled (by dealer) since the last service.

DI engines sounds good.
here's wat i worked on today... DRL on/off switch. switch is a Daystar KU80011 (20A)
terrible pict, but i made these prongs by breaking a standard mini-fuse and soldering wires to the tip.
i have an in-line 7.5A fuse for DRL which is that little black rectangle behind the arrow.
then wired it up. the switch fits perfectly into the stock dummy sw cut out. no cutting needed.
and here's with the LED on. the LED lights up when my DRL is on. pretty cool.

lots of driving in the '12 on saturday to do a lot of kids stuff. got hung up in congestion on the expressway on the way home, but no issue. the clutch is light on this car so didnt get tired at all. looks like we might have a rainy weekend coming up, so i shall do more driving in the '12.
