Honda holds that out for Acura. Hey, there has to be some reason to get you to pay an extra 10K for virtually the same car.
As far as the blue tooth. Mine has worked every time so far. Both with inbound and outbound calls.
I definitely would not consider it at all if it cannot read the street names for you.
My new coupe's nav, as well as the three others i've owned, does this.
If if works like the manual implies, it will be cool. I'm going to try it right now and report back.
Ex. "In a half mile turn right onto Main Street". "In a quarter mile turn right onto Main Street". "Make the next right turn".
If you are traveling somewhere where the turns are occurring in less than 1/4 mile (like a neighborhood) it will only give the final prompt, which does not include the street name.
To change the setting:
1. select Setup
2. Guidance Prompts
3. Max
I've used navigation system voice guidance since December 2003, both with and without a system that speaks street names. I've yet to experience too much voice guidance. The more the merrier. Bring it on!
Actually, I was thinking about that yesterday when I read that. How is it controlled? My StreetPilot has a handy thumb wheel to turn "Carmen" (my friend named the female voice in my GPS Carmen Garmin) louder or softer.
For some reason, from a rear 3/4 view, it reminded me of a Bentley! Not something I have ever heard about a Honda before!

I am strongly considering the polished metal with black interior? However that white diamond pearl looks stylish with the ivory leather ? I want an upscale look but actually I am a little concerned about the light color? I am a family person with kids and a dog that will be riding often . Someone help me out. I have already made my mind up on the v-6. By the way what does anyone think of the gray it seems a little light in the pictures. It seems like the black interior goes better with the polished metal color.
There is an adjustable control for the guidance voice volume on my 2004 Accord's setup screen.

I thinking now that were talking, I won't get black.
There are folks who complain about black interior in warm places, but I don't see it as an issue here in Texas. Besides finding the color more appealing (and sporty), it is easier to maintain and seems more durable. To provide an idea, the steering wheel in my Accord is a darker shade of gray (matches the top of the dash). That happens to be one area that tells the age of my car. The places where I hold the steering wheel has turned black as the leather is worn down. If it were black to start with...
Same with wrinkles, especially at the corners. I think that black looks richer too, and provides a better contrast to the rest of the stuff inside. But when it comes to that, you have to go for one you feel looks good.
Something to consider is tan comes with faux-wood trim, while grey and black come with aluminum-look accents.
When cleaning, folks need to be extra careful around those plastics. A scratch, and it will become a permanent feature. I can't imagine a strip of real aluminum (like in the TL) being too expensive.
As for the polished metal, I think it is awsome. At night, it has a stealthy-covert look. In all lighting conditions, the color appears to change depending on it's surface orientation to the light source. I have an excellent pic showing what I'm talking about, but don't know how to post it. Nowhere near cheesy IMHO....
Or, you can email to me and I will post them for you: munster1234@yahoo.com
Have any of you used that black wax - I can't remember what brand it is, but it is extremely effective at filling in swirl marks and hairline scratches, if you are like me and got seduced by the dark color and then regretted it later. I've even used it on our "midnight blue pearl" Odyssey and the finish was absolutely gorgeous when I was done. There were no swirl marks or white lines/white dots where the normal white residue settles in. I would highly recommend it for anyone who has a black car. Just FYI...
I saw a white Accord yesterday, and it looked pretty good. I have seen polished metal a lot more than other colors, and I really liked it.
Look behind th rear side window a">s one example...
Some website might restrict you from posting pictures on the web. Try Pat's advice (I learnt something new today), or as I suggested, go flickr/shutterfly etc.
And it is lovely!
Is there any reason that you don't just stop into your local Honda store and look at the interiors and exteriors first hand? That would be much better than just reading here.
