just drove the 2003 accords and vics

I work at Muller honda in Highland Park IL and we just got a shipment of brand-spanken new 2003 accords and Civics. Unfortunatly we only got the 4 doors, but thats because no one will be getting the two doors until JULY!! And that info is stright from the shippment manager himself. But yet the sweetness existes as full lether v6 accords. So long as your not looking at them from the back they are sweet as fu ck. the interior is real cool with a kick as head unit, if you could call it that. Everything lights up as soon as you put the key in (which by the way has all the keyless entry buttons on it). It drives nice to, but unfortunatly for my left foot we still havent gotten any in stick [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]
As for the civics, Major dash change. Everything is blue and accented by crome exept fot the needles which are red. It looks like the hybrid gauges exept that nothing is digital. The only problem with the gauges though is that they made the tach alot smaller and but the spedometer right in the middle. Not much else looks diffrent. They changed the atomatic shifter (It's a lot fatter, dosn't look like something honda would do) and they come stock with the hybrid tail lights. I didn't really get a great look at that one I'dd take some pics but I'm sure you'll see them all over sooner or later.
Thats all. I got to drive Mr MULLERS NSX, I almost c rapped my pants. Just thought I'd share

Jandree22 seems to be right, but ours is an ex and it dosn't have alloys. They come with diffrent looking hubcaps from prevous years, and they don't even look as nice as the old ex stock hubcaps, they look like the rims on the si's only you can see the steel wheels beneath, dosn't look to nice.
As for the 2 door civics, we don't have any yet, and I don't know when we will get those. My guess is the same time we get the 2 dr accords. We only have one 03 civic right now, its a silver EX, so I don't know what the lx, dx look like (wheels gauges etc...)

if you have a sedan EX, it wouldnt have alloys. Alloys are only coming standard on the coupe EX's. Kinda dumb IMHO, but oh well, that's what I'd be getting anyways[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Here, I might as well just post the links for both Sedan and Coupe Specifications in case anyone is curious[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

I just ran the Build & Price tool on Honda.com for the Civic Coupe and it says 15" alloy there. It's gotta be 15" because it'd be retarded to make something that looks exactly like Si, but an inch smaller Sounded fishy when they lowered a wheel size

What's the big deal, most people will replace the wheels and tires anyway if you plan to do any mods.
