It's been a competitior for the last year, and someone actually plugged the new 6 speeds numbers into CarTest, and found that the car will not be significantly faster than the 5 speed auto. The same thing happened when the manual IS300 came out, it was barely quicker than the auto (now that I think about it, the 6 speed Maxima isn't much faster than the auto is either. Hmm....

 

Nothing the 2002's and some 5 Speeds can handle.

 

ummmmmmm.......CL-S 6spd!!!! Black, black leather, lowered, 17" Motegi Mr7s in Gunmetal....ummmmmmm

 

Medic, Why is that ? Is it because technology is getting better or what ? Seriously this is interesting...

 

I like the guy who has a 5speed tranny swap and an 80 shot of NOS... he runs a 14.0 I'll never be afraid of a V6 accord again

 

Someone said yummm to motegi rims...he he he

 

whatever man, the Gunmetal Mr7s will look sweet on my car!

 

haha. more like ewwwwwww

 

"when I was a child I played with childish toys, when I became a man I did away with my childish ways"

Motegi? Put the toy rims away and go with something real.

 

SLC I see you're still drinking your years supply of HATERADE!

 

Nuthin but love for ya.
I'm just lookin out for joo

 

Gearing and better technology. Just wait for the CVT to go mainstream, they should run as fast as a manual transmission.

 

Yup.

 

they can make an auto as good or as fast as they want.

it will never be fun to drive like a manual.

 

Fly a plane, now THAT'S fun, driving a car is child's play.

 

I've flown my uncle's jets (a corp. pilot), it was fun, but nothing like driving a car... I say driving a car is more fun.

 

 

i hear motorcycles are fun to drive...

 

yes son.

 

Yes they are.

More heat for the 2003 Max to be something different. I sat in the 2002 CL Type S at the auto show, and those seats are really nice. The CL is unquestionably better looking than the Max. I don't know the reliablility facts but I'd guess that Acura does better than Nissan. Thing is you'd never be able to get that car for anywhere near 22k, so the Maxima will always be the price/hp leader. Upcoming rebates will make sure of that. Too bad most will be autos though.

 

i've always liked acura and honda's interior..
the luxury ones I mean

 

I agree, and theblue, saying that the auto will never be as fun as a manual is purely opinion. Some people (deezo,myself,medic) like rollin the seat back and just cruisin'

Ride pimp, and still have the ***** to take out most cars on the road.

 

 

Cars don't have enemies. The only competition is within the driver, if they feel like they have to prove something.

 

Amen to that

6-speed-V6-Accord

 

Add me to the list

 

 

 

You want to be added to the "I dont like automatics becuase they are not as fun as manuals blah blah blah" list.

 

NO! I want to be added to the list containing MediaSonic , deezo and you. I'm an auto man for life

 

I thought you were 5spd!!



Well in that case, YOUR IN!

So is your new M3 gonna be auto ?

 

Andy, MEDICSONIC!!!!

 

Sorry no shifting gears here. I need my hands for other things


AUTO 4 LIFE

 

I'm getting either 2001 530iA or 1999 540iA, both with sport package. I haven't decided yet but leaning towards a newer car though.

 

YES!

 

If you got the skill you can do both.

I used to drive a stick that had no power steering and I liked to eat while driving. To top it all off the car did not have a cup holder, so you were forced to hold the cup the whole time. Needless to say it was a little interesting.
