All we have to compare right now is the 04 TL preprduction photos that have been released. I believe monte and myself are saying that from THESE photos it doesn't look like an Accord.......who knows how much they will change the styling if at all.......when the production models are released.

I agree, although I hate that grille! This looks a lot better than the current model.

Yes the new model seems to have more radical styling....... somthing Honda's usually dont have, although the TSX styling seems to be going away from the traditional bland styling Honda is famous as well.

A guy at my office just bought a CRV (mistake #1), the thing gets stuck in Park and it takes him like 5 minutes to get it to Reverse or Drive.. lol

He dropped it off at the dealer, they couldn't duplicate the issue. He got it home, it happened in the morning. He came to work, called Honda and told them he had an issue, they told him to bring it by. He goes to the parking lot, has the issue, goes to Honda... no issue. LOL

They found the problem later that day and "fixed it". Apparently his wife took it to the midwest, and is having the issue again. oops, that is what you get for buying a bucket I guess..

This is a bit off topic, but have you seen the GMC SUV that has the roof that opens over the rear storage area so you can place large objects in it?

That looks quite cool, if I go back to an SUV, that one is definately worth looking at.

Yea I have seen it. Not a big fan of either that vehicle or the Avalanche/Cadillac EXT.........If I am going to get an SUV (I do have......a 4runner) I want an SUV, If I want a truck I want a truck...not some vehicle that tries to be both.

I am not a fan of the Avalanche either, I think it is a stupid concept considering that you are open to the elements when the seats are down. This is more of a 4 door pickup than an SUV.

This was a bit nicer though, an actual SUV that allows you to have a bed when necessary. I like the concept. Looks to me like GMC is really making some strides on the truck side. This SUV, along with the 4 wheel steering on the Suburban.

I had a GMC Jimmy and it was just too small to carry everything that I wanted. Then I got an Excursion, and that carried everything I wanted, from gas station to gas station. This sounds like it meets it in the middle.

I agree, I personally like the 4Runners especially the 96-02 Limiteds.

I agree and also GMC restyle of the current Sierra looks much better (just a new bumper) than Chevy's restyle which was a real restyle gone bad. The front lights look pretty bad as well as the new bumpers and red light out back. The 4 wheel steering is great a friend of mine has an old prelude with it and its great.

I like the 4runners as well, for the most part. They are a bit narrow to me, could be a little more spacious.
