I think these subtle changes to the look of the car are not enough for me to be upset that I didn't wait for the '04. As a matter of fact I like my all red interior better than the two-tone. I am, however,really interested in the performance of the '04. Can't wait to see the comparo test results.

If this is officiall, I like most of the changes. The headlights are better than I expected. Front bumper isn't bad. The seats kick a$$. Gauge is ok, but 8k redline=
Tails are ok, but I don't like the orange. I like the radio door and the area around the shifter too. Wheels are nice also. I'd like to see a full shot of the rear for the bumper and exhaust. It's coming my friends....it's coming.

Sorry guys I think this is another photoshop. All the current info released by other say's 8300rpm for top power, they have to overshoot that in the tac, one would imagine.
but if it is real my take on it, they look a lot better then I was expecting, and I want to see the new stereo face, the reason. XM radio is supposed to be a option I would really like to see how they intergrated it.
Also.
1. if the center armrest is made of metal like it looks like it is, if it sits in the sun for to long we are going to burn our arms to a crisp.
2. The temp gauge is nice if it is actually hook'd up to anything, mine never moves a click after warm-up and I drive in some nasty weather sometimes.
3. 8000 rpm readline. If it means a 15lb increase in torque acrooss the curve then I could live with it.

I've seen some other differences after looking at the 360 interior pano of the 2003 on hondacars.com.
-The stitching on the door insert is different
-(as already mentioned) the tweeters are different
-(as already mentioned) the console is different, with different spacing of the top and hazard switches
-If you look real close at the instrument cluster in the full interior shot, you'll see the details exactly match the inset photo of the new cluster. The tach "0 rpm" line is fully horizontal, with the 3 buttons (clock, +, -) below. On the '03, the "0 rpm" line is at an angle, and there are only 2 buttons below.
If that's 'shopped, somebody did an *awful* lot of work!
BTW thanks for the pics!

i like:
-steering wheel
-wheels(only if they're lightweight, i dont know how much they weigh)
-2 tone seats
-gas/temp gauges are more accurate/detailed
dont like
-tail lights/head lights
-front bumper
-haven't seen the exhaust tips yet but i prefer ours to oval
this new version is pretty nice IMO but i am very happy i got my '03.

I think the car is beautiful - I can't wait for my Berlina Black to arrive!
