Default need info about the US Accord

I'm thinking to buy a the Honda Accord, but can't find any data about the

performance! At my local dealer (Dubai)....they couldn't tell me any

performance date (acceleration, top speed,...etc)... by the way its not the

same as the European verion! I think its the same as in the US!

Anyway there two engines...the 2.4 with 173Bhp, and a 3.0 V-tech with

270Bhp...(the 3.0L comes with a 5speed auto.)....




If you know any test drives or anything concerns this car please send it to

me!

Thanx in advance!

270bhp? must be running on octane boost. its should be around 240bhp

my parents have one and i absolutely hate it. it looks so old styled its fit for an old man to drive. the only thing i can say about it its comfortable. it glides over bumps. i guess thats typical of american desgined cars

are you sure there isn't anything else you might want to look at?

Not sure if you guys can buy the Acura TSX (european accord) over there
I think it looks much better than the US Accord
