2008 Honda Accord Options...What to Expect

There aren't any official details of what buyers will be getting with the 2008 Accord, but there are rumors. As I mentioned with my CR-V post below, I'm always a little dismayed that Honda is stingy on certain items. One gripe that I see from this partial list is the apparent bundling of Bluetooth with Navigation. Handsfree operation of cell phones is already required in NY and the like and California will see the rule take effect in January 2008. It would seem to me that if not standard, it should be available on every model w/o navigation. As some folks point out, it's a pain to take a brand new car into a stereo shop and have them hack into the interior to integrate an aftermarket kit. Factory kits look clean and have optimized mic placement, etc.

Well, enjoy the list (from Temple of VTEC). Keep in mind that it is "second hand" information and is at best only a partial list:
