New Accord Press Release and Pics
For anyone that cares (I have had it for awhile so this info might be old to some of you):
All-new 2003 Honda Accord Debuts
TORRANCE, Calif., July 29, 2002 - The all-new seventh-generation 2003 Honda
Accord moves the Accord lineup to a new level of world-class style,
sophistication and performance. Both the Sedan and Coupe have been redesigned
and re-engineered to top the midsize class in engine performance, ride and
handling, comfort and convenience features, safety, quality and refinement.
The rapid growth in the popularity of SUVs and "crossover" vehicles has
expanded consumer choice and increased competition for the already highly
competitive midsize buyer. As a result, the Accord development team targeted
not only its traditional competitors, but also the finest European sedans in
terms of design, engineering and "emotion" in an effort to move the Accord
lineup to a higher level. The result is the finest selection of Accords ever
made, setting new marks in key targeted areas while maintaining the
durability, quality and reliability (DQR) and value that made the Accord one
of the best-selling cars of the '90s.

Model Availability
Accord Sedan
As in previous years, the Accord Sedan is available in DX, LX and EX trim
levels. The well-equipped DX Sedan is powered by a new 160-horsepower,
2.4-liter,
i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine and is available with either the new 5-speed or
5-speed automatic transmissions. LX and EX models are available with either
the 4-cylinder engine or the new 240-hp V6. All LX and EX models are available
with the 5-speed automatic transmission, while 4-cylinder models also offer
the 5-speed manual.
At the top of the model range is the Accord EX V6 Sedan with leather interior.
For the first time in an Accord model, a navigational system is available in
EX sedans, the next-generation, voice activated Honda Satellite-Linked DVD
Navigation System.
Accord Coupe
Accord Coupe buyers can choose between LX and EX trim levels and both are
available with a choice of either the 4-cylinder or V6 engine. The 5-speed
manual transmission is standard on 4-cylinder Coupes, with the new 5-speed
automatic available. The LX Coupe V6 comes with a 5-speed automatic. The EX
Coupe V6 is available with a 5 speed automatic or 6 speed manual transmission.
Body Design
Honda stylists used a fast jungle cat, the cheetah, as an influence when
starting on the new Accords. Even at rest, it appears to be ready to move. The
animal runs low to the ground, and has powerful leg muscles to propel it
forward. These are classic cues used in the development of high-profile
sports-car bodies but they are rarely used in the midsize segment.
Body Construction
The Accord's all-new unibody design is 27 percent stiffer in torsional
rigidity while maintaining the same excellent bending rigidity of the previous
generation. Extensive use of high-tensile steel and advanced engineering and
manufacturing processes have also contributed to the Accord body's increased
strength and stiffness. This helps to improve Accord's safety, performance and
handling.
A new front subframe uses hydro-formed steel components. This system attaches
to the body with special rubber "floating" mounts that reduce noise and
vibration from the engine and front suspension. It's also designed to slide
under the passenger compartment to deflect and better disperse crash forces in
the event of frontal impact.
Engineers aimed putting the Accord at the top of the class in safety. Using
supercomputers to model how collision forces are distributed throughout the
Accord's unibody design, and Honda's state-of- the-art real-world crash test
facility, the Accord meet its safety targets in internal testing, pending
final testing by NHTSA.
Powertrains
As in previous years, Accord Sedan buyers can choose between an inline-4 and a
V6 engine. Both are new for 2003 and feature a number of unique technologies.
The 160-hp, 2.4-liter 4-cylinder features all-aluminum construction, twin
balance shafts, chain-driven dual-overhead camshafts and i-VTEC (Variable
Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) with Variable Timing Control,
(VTC), which provides continuous phase adjustment for the intake camshaft.
This new i-VTEC provides a wider powerband and improved drivability, along
with higher fuel mileage and lower emissions. Balance shafts have been
incorporated to limit noise and vibration. In California the 4-cylinder engine
used for the LX and EX automatic transmission sedans will meet SULEV emissions
regulations, the most stringent in the world.
The new 3.0-liter V6, which also features all-aluminum construction, increases
output by 40 horsepower-some 20 percent-for the 2003 model year. This power
output positions it at the top of the midsize class.
The newfound power comes primarily from five areas: 1) improved induction
system and intake manifold; 2) a 3-rocker VTEC system; 3) increased
compression ratio and the addition of a knock sensor; 4) larger intake valves;
and 5) high flow exhaust system technology. An advanced engine mounting
hardware in the new Accord features a unified "hybrid" design that integrates
elements from the previous 4-cylinder and V6 systems. The new V6 Accord also
meets ULEV standards for California specification vehicles.
Chassis
The 2003 Accords also have a new dynamic character. Engineers modified the
double-wishbone suspension to improve ride and handling-in particular to
reduce fore-aft body motions under acceleration and deceleration and to
provide flatter cornering.
Engineers have tuned the 2003 Accord's chassis for a sportier, more European
feel. In keeping with this effort, both the Sedan and Coupe are now fitted
with larger, more performance-oriented tires that enhance ride and handling
characteristics. The power rack-and-pinion steering also features new
technology to provide more stability and reduced kickback.
Braking has likewise been significantly enhanced. Anti-lock Braking Systems
(ABS) are now standard equipment on all Accord models. The 4-cylinder EX
models and V6-powered models also add EBD (electronic brake distribution) as
standard equipment for the first time. These components enhance chassis
stability under braking and help trim braking distances in real world
conditions. Engineers also enhanced Accord brake pedal feel and stroke.
Interior
The interiors of the new Accords blend driver-oriented features with
information-oriented technologies. The higher beltline, along with a more
prominent dashboard, provide a feeling of substance and solidity to the
interior.
LEDs provide instrument illumination. When the car is at rest the instruments
present a black appearance. The instruments light up in stages as the driver
enters the car, inserts the key and starts the engine, revealing new large,
bold meters. Dramatically improved driver and passenger seats and a more sport
oriented driving position reflect the renewed effort that has gone into making
the Accord the fun-to-drive standout in its class-whether you're going around
the corner or cross-country.
Audio and climate control systems have also been significantly upgraded. EX
4-cylinder models with leather and all EX V6 models provide separate
temperature controls for the driver and front passenger. Controls for the
audio system, climate control and even the available next-generation Honda
Satellite-Linked Navigation System (NAVI) are consolidated into a single,
easy-to-use display. The new NAVI system features voice activation for
navigational tools, as well as audio and climate controls. The controls set
new standards in terms of speed, ease of use, and amount of available
information.
A host of new safety features can be found in the Accord's interior. In
addition to dual-stage front SRS airbags, side airbags are now available on
the LX 4-cylinder models and standard on all EX and V6 models. As with all
Honda and Acura vehicles, the front passenger's side airbag is controlled by
an innovative sensing system that disables the airbag if the passenger is in
its deployment path. Accord EX V6 models also come standard with a side
curtain airbag system covering both the front and rear side windows in the
event of a side impact. This system leads the industry in terms of speed of
deployment, inflated coverage area, and maximizing inflated bag thickness
while minimizing internal pressure.
Competitors
The 2003 Accord Sedan has two primary competitors in the mid-size market
segment. The first, the Toyota Camry, is a sales-volume competitor. In recent
years Camry has been Accord's chief rival for the honor of America's
best-selling car. The Camry-based Solara coupe is virtually the only
competitor for the Accord Coupes.
Accord's other competitor, the Volkswagen Passat, with its distinctly European
driving character, is more of a "lifestyle" competitor than a sales-volume
competitor. It sold 95,028 units in 2001, about 23 percent of the Accord's
total. The Passat has also been successful at attracting younger buyers. Other
competitors include the Nissan Altima, the Ford Taurus, and Mazda 6.

Yeah, that is actually what I had heard. I personally think the new Accord coupe looks like a combo of the RSX and the Prelude (Basically a bigger RSX).

Rep Power: 0 The new Accord definitely will be something worth checking out. 6spd close-ratio tranny and a 240 hp engine? Wow. It should arrive in dealerships sometime next month, and you can check out this month's Motor Trend for an in-depth review of both the coupe and sedan models.

[hr]Yeah, that is actually what I had heard. I personally think the new Accord coupe looks like a combo of the RSX and the Prelude (Basically a bigger RSX).[hr]
