Question:
Is 1999 the first year models for the newest Accord body styles? What are some of the differences between the 1999 and 2000 model Accords?? What’s the easiest way to tell them apart on the road? Micahel M.

Their are no differences that you can tell by looking at them from what I know as far as the coupe is concerned. I know one difference is that the 2000 has a different fuel delivery system, but that’s the only difference I am aware of

What : are some of the differences between the 1999 and 2000 model Accords?? : What’s the easiest way to tell them apart on the road? The Gen6 Accords began with model year 1998. One major difference between the 99 and 00 Accords are that side airbags are now available. On the road, they are pretty much the same. One easy way for a few of the cars is their color. For 98-99, Honda sold the Accord with the color "Heather Mist" (it was a very light beige) and was very popular. This color was replaced with a horrendously ugly, gold color called "Naples Gold".

Thanks for the info. My 2000 EX Sedan has 3 attach points for child safety seats behind the back seats, under the back window. These are pretty visible from the road. Are these on all 2000 Accords? Do they exist on the ’98s or ’99s? – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> The Gen6 Accords began with model year 1998. > One major difference between the 99 and 00 Accords are that side airbags are > now available. > On the road, they are pretty much the same.

They also discontinued Black Currant Pearl (deep purple) in 99 i think. That’s disappointing — when I bought my 98 EX, they said they couldn’t keep that color in stock, and it originally came out with the 25th Anniversary model (96???). Pretty color on the Accord, and my second fav was the Heather Mist. Oh well. Also, my 98 doesn’t have side airbags nor child safety seat attach points. And, I can’t see a lot of difference in the 99/00 from my 98 from the outside. The 00 seems to have a very slightly different angling in the back (lights/trunk angles), but the basic design’s the same. This is equivalent of the minute changes in the 5th generation Accords, which I also noticed mainly in the rear of the cars. BTW, Honda changes body styles every 4 years now, and as conANDave stated, Accords are in their 6th generation. Michael Stringer 98 Accord EX 64,000 miles (and taking it beautifully)
