i was thinking that myself. but they could b just rumours about the traction control! i`m worried about all the offs people are having too.

she called about 530 to tell me it was still on for friday. im in the same boat as you. ive booked time off and sorted a lift etc. not happy!

Yep exactly the same position. Soughted a lift from someone taking time off to give me a lift, got time off myself, soughted insurance out etc.

If its switchable stability control that brakes all four wheels and cuts power it will be excellent for times when one is not at full concentration in the wet. However what is keeping me with this car at the moment is the 9000 rpm capability, hopefully the 2006 will be the 2.0 not the 2.2.

somehow i dont think honda will go to the expense of testing a 9000 rpm 2.2 engine. if they do offer the 2.2 it will be the same one as the US with the lower rev limit and i wouldnt want that!

anyway ive just posted a link on the 2006 thread about racelogic tc system. U interested . we can see if we can get discount on buy two units together!

Someone had it fitted on the vx forum and it was terrible. I think he ended up having it taken off.

Did'nt read what I wrote above, meant to say hopefully the 2006 will be the 2.0 not the 2.2.

Well i tried for a refund of the deposit and they said they had already started registering the car whatever that entails (however they don't physically have the car yet.)

23k for the car now when the 2006 comes out in december what kind of impact will that have on residuals if i want to trade 2005 for 2006?
