No, at least not in the sedans or automatic tranny. Maybe on the coupe? The steering wheels have all of the audio and cruise functions though.

ya word I was wrong...


they have it in a concept vehicle though:

"Other Honda products on display at the 2002 SEMA show include a 2003 Accord Concept that features a 300-horsepower 3.2-liter V-6 engine, paddle-shift controlled semi-manual 6-speed transmission, widened track, wide-body styling, custom body kit and interior, and extensive use of lightweight materials."

no production vehicles just yet. The new accord does not even have sport shift as an option.

Probably my only disappointment in the car.

It was also very dissapointing to see them KO the prelude SH's Automatic Torque Transfer System when they switched to the new K series 4 cylinders. I was really hoping to see it land in accord coupe or even the TSX(european Accord) but nope, no such luck. Ah well, they'll learn soon, i hope.
