Irrespective of their stated goal
,Mulberry outlet                                                           The beginning of the new year is filled with all manner of content on resolutions, keeping your resolutions, etc. This year it seems there is a budding meme on the importance of simplicity in investing. For example a recent post at looks at some research by Vanguard on the value of the simple 60/40 balanced portfolio. They show that many asset classes claimed to be diversifiers do not hold up to scrutiny. In short a simple asset allocation avoids the complexity and risk of a more daring portfolio, Jason Kephart writes: "“The risks of trying to avoid the risks [of the 60/40 portfolio] are greater than the risks themselves,” Mr. Kinniry said,Mulberry bags. The reason he is confident in the classic strategy is that over the past 20 years, nothing has been a better hedge against the downside in equities than investment-grade bonds." Roger Nusbaum at notes how the big push in to commodities has fizzled out as well as investors give up on the presumed easy diversification benefits,Mulberry uk. Roger writes: "I don&#8217;t know if anyone is still preaches putting 20% in REITs and commodities respectively but long time readers may recall I have been saying that was a bad idea before the crisis and I still believe that now; 20% is way too much." To a certain degree individuals are simply taking the lead of institutions. Prior to the financial crisis the endowment model was one commonly aped by institutions. That push by institutions into alternative asset classes seems to still be at work. However there is a big problem. Julie Segal at highlights some findings from the State Street&#8217;s Center for Applied Research: "&#8220;Irrespective of their stated goal, institutional investors are exhibiting a herd mentality by increasing their exposure to alternatives,&#8221; says Suzanne Duncan, the report&#8217,ugg boots uk;s Boston-based author. &#8220;While there is nothing wrong with alternatives,ugg boots uk sale, what&#8217;s worrisome is that investors feel unprepared to handle the risks and complexity.&#8221;" Embracing simplicity is something I have been writing about about an. One of the overlooked reasons to embrace simplicity is that it helps you avoid in investing. If your investments are ones that don&#8217;t require active management or involve potential incentive issues you can bypass some of these potential pitfalls. In short, an index fund does not worry about its own performance at year-end. Year-end is also a typical time that investors look to rebalance their portfolios. Barry Ritholtz at the asks (and answers) why investors should have a plan in place to rebalance their portfolios. He writes: "Why do this,louboutin uk? Because history teaches us that all broad asset classes will eventually mean revert. The goal of the rebalance is to take advantage of the short term volatility and price swings to move you back towards your model 60/40 allocations at more advantageous valuations." A quick glance at recent asset class performance reinforces why both diversification and a systematic approach are important. It is easy to get caught up in the movement of the next, new great asset class,louis vuitton handbags. The flip side is also true. It is easy to get caught up in despair when markets tank. Roben Farzad at looks at how a boring portfolio would have performance before,Cheap Ugg Boots, during and after the financial crisis. The results are not too bad. Unfortunately for many they were unable to hang on and gave up on the stock market altogether. Farzard writes: "In reality, those who stayed sober, diversified, and total-return minded (and bothered to remember their brokerage log-ins) should be feeling ecstatic. Indeed, many had reason to celebrate three years ago. Thing is, ecstasy―like panic―does not often visit this cohort." It is easy to forget that one of the byproducts of active strategies and frequent portfolio changes is high costs. As I note in my book it perfectly acceptable to accept investment mediocrity provided you don&#8217;t pay a high price in terms of time or money to get there. James Picerno at the echoes this sentiment: "The lesson for most folks is that broad diversification across asset classes, and periodic rebalancing of those assets, will capture average to above-average returns on a fairly reliable basis through time. The flip side of this lesson is that trying too hard in money management boosts the odds of ending up with high-priced mediocrity, or worse." It is easy to extol the virtues of a simple investment strategy after a good year for the stock markets. One thing I can guarantee is that at some point this year there will be a time when a simple strategy will look stupid. Either the stock market will have taken off and anything non-equity related will look like a dead weight on a portfolio. Or the stock market will correct and any kind of equity exposure will seem like too much. That is unfortunately the nature of the beast. Sticking with your strategy, as imperfect as it is,coach handbags, will seem like a herculean task, not unlike all those other resolutions we undertake at the beginning of the year,louboutin shoes. Then again, what is the alternative?  Related articles:  both want to win this one. tort or otherwise Dan explained what had transpired. &ldquo</li> </ul>

CommScope Inc
- A major Iranian partner of Huawei Technologies offered to sell at least 1.3 million euros worth of embargoed Hewlett-Packard computer equipment to Iran's largest mobile-phone operator in late 2010, documents show. China's Huawei, the world's second largest telecommunications equipment maker, says neither it nor its partner, a private company registered in Hong Kong, ultimately provided the products to the telecom, Mobile Telecommunication Co of Iran, known as MCI. Nevertheless, the incident provides new evidence of how Chinese companies have been willing to help Iran evade trade sanctions. The proposed deal also raises new questions about Shenzhen-based Huawei, which recently was criticized by the U.S. House Intelligence Committee for failing to "provide evidence to support its claims that it complies with all international sanctions or U.S. export laws." At least 13 pages of the proposal to MCI, which involved expanding its subscriber billing system, were marked "Huawei confidential" and carried the company's logo, according to documents seen by Reuters. In a statement to Reuters, Huawei called it a "bidding document" and said one of its "major local partners," Skycom Tech Co Ltd, had submitted it to MCI. The statement went on to say, "Huawei's business in Iran is in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations including those of the U.N., U.S. and E.U. This commitment has been carried out and followed strictly by our company. Further,louis vuitton handbags, we also require our partners to follow the same commitment and strictly abide by the relevant laws and regulations." In October, Reuters reported that another Iranian partner of Huawei last year tried to sell embargoed American antenna equipment to Iran's second largest mobile operator, MTN Irancell, in a deal the buyer ultimately rejected. The U.S,Mulberry bags. antenna manufacturer, CommScope Inc, has an agreement with Huawei in which the Chinese firm can use its products in Huawei systems, according to a CommScope spokesman. He added that his company strives to comply fully with all U.S. laws and sanctions,Mulberry uk. Huawei has a similar partnership with HP,coach bags. In a statement, the Palo Alto, Calif., company said, "HP has an extensive control system in place to ensure our partners and resellers comply with all legal and regulatory requirements involving system security, global trade and customer privacy and the company's relationship with Huawei is no different." The statement added, "HP's distribution contract terms prohibit the sale of HP products into Iran and require compliance with U.S. and other applicable export laws." Washington has banned the export of computer equipment to Iran for years. The sanctions are designed to deter Iran from developing nuclear weapons; Iran says its nuclear program is aimed purely at producing domestic energy. CLOSE LINKS Huawei and its Iranian partner, Skycom, appear to have very close ties. An Iranian job recruitment site called Irantalent.com describes Skycom as "a leading telecom solution provider" and goes on to list details that are identical to the way Huawei describes itself on its U.S. website: employee-owned, selling "solutions" used by "45 of the world's top 50 telecom operators" and serving "one-third of the world's population." On .com, several telecom workers list having worked at "Huawei-skycom" on their resumes. A former Skycom employee said the two companies shared the same headquarters in China. And an Iranian telecom manager who has visited Skycom's office in Tehran said, "Everybody carries Huawei badges." A Hong Kong accountant whose firm is listed in Skycom registration records as its corporate secretary said Friday he would check with the company to see if anyone would answer questions. Reuters did not hear back,coach outlet store online. The proposal to MCI, dated October 2010, would have doubled the capacity of MCI's billing system for prepaid customers. The proposal noted that MCI was "growing fast" and that its current system, provided by Huawei, had "exceeded the system capacity" to handle 20 million prepaid subscribers. "In order to keep serving (MCI) with high quality, we provide this expansion proposal to support 40M subscribers," the proposal states on a page marked "HUAWEI Confidential." The proposal makes clear that HP computer servers were an integral part of the "Hardware Installation Design" of the expansion project. Tables listing equipment for MCI facilities at a new site in Tehran and in the city of Shiraz repeatedly reference HP servers under the heading, "Minicomputer Model." The documents seen by Reuters also include a portion of an equipment price list that carries Huawei's logo and are stamped "SKYCOM IRAN OFFICE." The pages list prices for HP servers, disk arrays and switches, including those that already are "existing" and others that need to be added. The total proposed project price came to 19.9 million euros, including a "one time special discount,coach outlet." The proposed new HP equipment,christian louboutin uk, which totaled 1.3 million euros, included one server, 20 disk arrays, 22 switches and software. The existing HP equipment included 22 servers, 8 disk arrays and 13 switches, with accompanying prices,Mulberry outlet. Asked who had provided the existing HP equipment to MCI, Vic Guyang, a Huawei spokesman, said it wasn't Huawei. "We would like to add that the existing hardware equipment belongs to the customer. Huawei does not have information on, or the authority to check the source of the customer's equipment." Officials with MCI did not respond to requests for comment. In a series of stories this year, Reuters has documented how China has become a backdoor for Iran to obtain embargoed U.S,Mulberry sale. computer equipment. In March and April, Reuters reported that China's ZTE Corp, a Huawei competitor,christian louboutin shoes, had sold or agreed to sell millions of dollars worth of U.S. computer gear, including HP equipment, to Telecommunication Co of Iran, the country's largest telecommunications firm, and a unit of the consortium that controls TCI. The articles sparked investigations by the U.S. Commerce Department, the Justice Department and some of the U.S. tech companies. ZTE says it is cooperating with the federal probes. TCI is the parent company of MCI.

Introduction Even though the original C70 was launched way back in 1997, it's still something of a novelty for many to see a sleek and curvaceous Volvo product. The post '06 C70 remains one of the best looking coupe-convertible cars around, its lines doing a good job disguising the long boot that's required to house the roof in cars like this. In fact,louis vuitton Wallet, it's tough to believe that the C70 rides on Ford's C1 platform, the chassis that it bases the Focus range on. As a used buy, it makes a lot of sense as the only real point counting against the C70 is that its price from new is stretching the limit of what a car of this size and provenance should ask.

Models Models Covered: (2dr coupe-convertible,louis vuitton outlet online, 2.4, 2.5 petrol, 2.0, 2.4 diesel [S, SE,cheap louboutin shoes, SE Lux, Sport]) History Some cars were never particularly good yet somehow wormed their way into the national affection. Just such a car was the MK1 Volvo C70. The first spy shots were seen in 1994 and they were enough to get letters of intent flooding into Volvo dealers. It was good looking and solidly screwed together and this, along with the other Volvo corporate values, were enough for most customers. The fact that it wasn't particularly great to drive was beside the point. Sales were strong and the car lasted right through to 2006. Its successor is,cheap gucci bags, by any objective measure, a massively superior proposition. Melding the coupe and convertible versions of the old C70 into one car, the 2006 C70 features a folding hard top roof and a sharp chassis. It has also singularly failed to capture the imagination of the market in the way its less able predecessor did. Perhaps this is as a function of improved competitors or the fact that savvy car buyers realised that there wasn't a vast amount of difference between the C70 and the Ford Focus CC in their basic architecture. Nevertheless, the Volvo remains a well respected product. Perhaps aware of the premium pricing issue,coach outlet online, Volvo took steps to reduce the C70's perceived cost by introducing keenly-priced 2.0-litre diesel variants in autumn 2007. In late 2009, the car was facelifted with more stylish headlamps, reshaped front wings, in-vogue LED tail lamps, a redesigned instrument panel and plusher fabrics.

What You Get Unveiled at the 2005 Frankfurt Show, this C70 retains the sleek good looks of its predecessor, but augments the offering with a folding hard top and improved driving manners. With the hood in place, you probably wouldn't guess that the C70 is capable of flipping its lid,ralph lauren polo. The rear deck isn't overly long (the usual giveaway) and the roofline is smooth and beautifully integrated with the rest of the bodywork. The old C70 coupe used to sell within five seconds of customers clapping eyes on it and this generation model has proved similarly successful. After all, many of the basic ingredients are much the same,Ralph Lauren Sale. The stance and proportioning are similar, it'll still sit four adults in comfort and it still adheres to Volvo's impeccably high safety standards. Volvo developed this C70 to offer new standards of preventive and protective safety in the convertible market, the car including an advanced body structure, greater torsional rigidity and several innovations that make it unique among open-top cars. An example of this is the door-mounted Inflatable Curtain (IC), part of the C70's integrated Side Impact Protection System (SIPS). As the IC cannot be fitted in the roof, as with the rest of the Volvo range, it has been innovatively fitted in the door to inflate upwards instead of downwards. Volvo's safety engineers have also fine-tuned the IC to be extra stiff, so it can stay upright and help protect the head more effectively. In addition, the curtain then deflates more slowly to provide additional protection if the car rolls over. Also adding to the safety of the car is a torsionally rigid body. Improving the driving experience is another benefit of a stiff chassis and the C70 is stiffer than its predecessor by between 10 and 15 per cent.

What You Pay The C70 is in reasonable demand and plump used prices reflect this fact. You'll need to front up with around &pound;23,000 for the first of the 06 plate 2.4i Sport models and about the same for a slightly higher mileage SE. The T5 SE starts at around &pound;25,000 for a decent example. Diesel models are a little tougher to find but kick off at around &pound;25,500 for a D5 SE. Insurance for the C70 isn't cheap, with the bigger diesels and petrols ranging between Groups 15 and 18.

What to Look For The big ticket item to check with the C70 is the hood mechanism,coach outlet store. It's one of the more reliable actions of its type but you'll need to make sure everything is working fine and that the boot cassette engages properly in its mount. The underlying mechanicals are tried and tested parts and shouldn't give cause for concern,gucci shoes. The interiors are also more hard wearing than most. Check for bumping bumps and scrapes as some C70 customers don't have the best spatial awareness.

Replacement Parts (approx based on a 2006 C70 T5)  Expect to pay around &pound;175 for a clutch assembly, while front brake pads won't see much change from &pound;70 for a pair, with rears weighing in at a more lightweight &pound;38. You'll be looking at &pound;180 for a radiator and the best part of &pound;200 for a starter motor.

On the Road In the UK, this C70 was offered from launch with two in-line, five-cylinder petrol engines - the range-topping, turbocharged T5 producing 226bhp and torque of 320Nm, plus a normally aspirated, 2.4-litre unit producing 170bhp. In addition, there's a five-cylinder, 180bhp D5 diesel engine, plus the later addition of a four cylinder 136bhp 2.0D unit. At its introduction, Volvo claimed the C70 to be the only four-seater premium convertible with a folding steel roof and as such, the Swedes believed that they'd stolen an important march on any perceived competition,. The most impressive engine is the D5 common-rail turbo diesel. The 178bhp output indicates strong performance and the 0-60mph sprint of 8.8s is very rapid for a vehicle of the C70's bulk but it's the engine's hefty torque output that defines its on-road character. A muscular 350Nm is generated between 1,750 and 3,250Nm and this endows the car with strong and instantly available acceleration across a wide range of engine speeds. It also helps the D5 work nicely with its 5-speed Geartronic automatic transmission. The gearbox doesn't have to work hard to keep the engine on the boil and it all adds to the tranquil atmosphere inside the C70. The car produces a 38.7mpg combined fuel economy figure and CO2 emissions are pegged at 193g/km. If you don't need all that power, have a lower budget and want to improve emissions, a four cylinder 136bhp 2.0D diesel version is on offer. The Volvo is no slouch but it's not a particularly rewarding car to drive fast. The pleasure with the C70 is to be gleaned from folding that roof down and going for a leisurely cruise on a sunny day. The throttle response is quite lethargic and the steering isn't particularly rapid but wind-buffeting is minimal when the roof is stowed and engine noise is far from intrusive. It also corners keenly when committed.

Overall The Volvo C70 does a very good job for the sort of customer it's targeted at. These buyers will likely be older, with kids who have left home and would like a feel-good car that doesn't impose tiresome sacrifices. On those counts it's a winner all the way and used examples make access that little bit easier. The D5 diesel is the pick of the bunch but given that many C70s cover very modest mileages, the 2.4-litre petrol models are the most plentiful.

tough sentencing laws that keep recidivists off the streets
<div class="sBody p402_premium" style="display: block;"> Often depicted as one of the more violent countries in the world, the has almost never been a safer place to live. The on Monday reported that violent crime dropped in the US for the fifth straight year, this time by 4 percent, a trend that has defied some criminologists’ thinking about the link between personal and property crimes in tough economic times. According to the FBI, which culls from information volunteered by some 14,000 law enforcement jurisdictions from to, violent crimes dropped in all four major US regions: 4.7 percent in the West, 4.9 percent in the Midwest (a region where the murder rate actually rose slightly), 4.5 percent in the South, and 0.8 percent in the Northeast,christian louboutin sneakers. The national murder rate dropped by 1,.9 percent. In the property crimes categories, car thefts and larceny thefts decreased nationally,cheap gucci bags, but burglaries ticked up slightly in all regions except the South, the FBI reported,Ralph Lauren Sale. The falling crime rate amid the worst economic downturn since the has puzzled some criminologists, since crime historically spikes during hard times. But countering that trend, some say,, have been improvements in US policing tactics, tough sentencing laws that keep recidivists off the streets, an aging population, the popularity of video games that keep young people inside, and even communal solidarity in the face of economic adversity. Yet even as crime rates,ugg boots, including the murder rate, approached historic lows, some experts also sounded a note of caution in the newest report of preliminary figures. Firstly, a growing number of violent and property crimes in the second half of the year partially offset the trend,cheap gucci handbags, causing criminologists like of  in  to suggest that the US may be coming to “the end of the trough” in violent crime. And in areas where people know tend to know their neighbors more intimately � small towns � there are indications that communal solidarity may have begun to slip. Indeed,ralph lauren polo, the murder rate in towns with 10,000 or fewer inhabitants spiked in 2011, going up by 18 percent,polo ralph lauren outlet. At the same time, some experts note that may be a statistical anomaly,, since the violent crime rate in small town America dropped by 23 percent just the year before, in 2010.

Ironically
<div class="sBody p402_premium" style="display: block;"> is the land of immobile women. No other nation prohibits women from driving or indeed moving in any capacity without male consent. As of today, Saudi women are protesting the kingdom’s driving ban from behind the wheel of their cars. These women unnerve the state, for while popular opinion is on their side, so, too, is Islam. When I moved to Saudi Arabia to practice medicine from 1999-2001, I left my car in. For the first time, as a Muslim woman,, Islam was now the basis for my confinement and not my freedom,ralph lauren outlet online. The Saudi, when 47 veiled Saudi women defied the ban and drove in a 14-vehicle convoy on the highway in. They were inspired by American female GIs in their military vehicles during Desert Storm and by Kuwaiti women who had arrived in the kingdom as attacked. For their insurrection, for several hours, and their passports confiscated. They were summarily dismissed from their jobs and banned from traveling overseas for one year,gucci outlet. Soon after, Saudi authorities issued explicit fatwas, or religious edicts, banning driving by women. Ironically, the ban is particularly problematic for an Islamic monarchy since it is fundamentally unIslamic. Muslim women lacking male relatives have been making solo pilgrimages to for centuries without restriction. Their journeys reflect Islam’s recognition of their rights as individuals. Islam gives women freedom One need only look at the very genesis of Islam � the ayyam-al Sahaba (the days of the companions of the ) � for evidence of women’s freedom of agency. Early Muslim feminists are role models that every faith-literate Muslim holds dear. The most preeminent, Khadija, the first Muslim and the first wife of the prophet, and Aisha, the prophet’s later wife, are canonized in Islamic history. Khadija, a wealthy merchant woman,ugg boots, was at first Muhammad’s employer, and later (through a trusted intermediary) she offered him a proposal of marriage. She continued her business dealings after marriage and is considered the archetypal Muslim female entrepreneur. Khadija exemplifies the possibility of economic gender equality within Islam,louis vuitton outlet online, and as a merchant she traveled frequently and independently. Aisha was famed for her autonomy,louboutin shoes, knowledge,cheap christian louboutin, and exceptional leadership which would fully blossom during her widowhood. The prophet himself recognized her scholarship publicly: “Learn half your religion from that red-headed one,ralph lauren polo!” Both women are counted among Islam’s most esteemed as the Umm-al-Momeneen � Mothers of the Faithful. These women are seen as trustees of the entire Muslim flock. Both are clearly depicted in Islamic writings conducting their business, whether trade or education, independently,christian louboutin sneakers. Both have been documented to be riding camels and horses as a means to complete their activities,ralph lauren polo. Both operated outside their homes in workplaces at a time when Arabia was agrarian and pastoral and allowed women’s roles to span home and work.

the two-door Accord Coupe hails from Marysville
<img id="largeMotorsArticlePicture" src="/images/used/large/honaccordcoupe.jpg?statme=1&ws=A041&d=01210744&id=jpress" alt="Car Picture"/>

Introduction Consider for a moment the concept of the 'world car'. Ford coined the phrase when launching the Mondeo, a car that was sold in a number of global markets, but a truer example would probably be the fifth generation Honda Accord,gucci handbags. This acme of Japanese cars is bankrolled in Japan and sold all around the world. The saloon and hatch models are built in Swindon, the Type-R models developed in Hiroshima. The car we examine here, the two-door Accord Coupe hails from Marysville, Ohio in the industrial heartland of Uncle Sam. Would putting a used one on your driveway make you a part of the cosmopolitan cognoscenti or would you merely be depriving the global village of an idiot? Find out here.

Models Models Covered: 2dr Coupe 2.0, 3.0 petrol [ES, V6] History Before the fifth generation Accord Coupe was unveiled in July 1998, Honda had been bereft of a coupe they could be proud of. Yes, the manic Integra Type-R was gaining plaudits, but Honda's showing in the sort of market sector that the Ford Cougar and Vauxhall Calibra had made their own was lamentably poor. The fourth generation car never had the style or substance to attract the notoriously fickle UK coupe customer and the fifth generation carried a great deal of hope. Unfortunately it bombed. Why? The reasons are complex and have little to do with the fact that it was a beautifully engineered and elegantly styled car. It seems that British buyers expected Honda coupes to either be rock hard buzzboxes like the Integra (which sold well) or bloated barges like the Legend Coupe (which didn't). Given that the Accord Coupe was never cut from the same cloth as the Type-R brand, it was instantly, and somewhat unfairly, labelled a duffer. Two models were imported, a 145bhp 2.0-litre ES model and a197bhp 3.0-litre V6. Both sold in criminally tiny numbers until they were quietly withdrawn in early 2001,louis vuitton handbags. Tracking down a used version will therefore mean that you may have to compromise on your exact preference on year, colour and trim but it's almost impossible to find a lemon. The staid image and mature ownership profile means that the Accord Coupe has steered clear of the boy racers. It's difficult to go far wrong.

What You Get Here is a car which allows four to stretch out in luxurious comfort, defying the traditional restrictions of the coupe concept. Most other rivals in contrast, have rear benches good enough for little else but transport to the local hostelry. And, you could add, comfort levels that hardly fill you with anticipation for the next tiring journey. The fifth generation Accord Coupe is far bigger than any of its predecessors, despite a wheelbase reduced by some 45mm. Somehow, the designers managed to create 22mm of extra rear legroom and this,christian louboutin sale, along with repositioned A-pillars and redesigned seats, means that it can be considered a true five-seater - unique in the class. To some this will be a virtue whilst to others they will denigrate the car as merely an Accord saloon less the utility of a pair of back doors. As you might expect, both the Accord Coupe models come exceptionally well equipped, with air conditioning,louboutin shoes, cruise control, twin airbags, ABS,, leather seats, alloy wheels and electric everything,ralph lauren outlet online. The V6's tally is identical to that of the 2.0-litre, save for larger alloys, twin exhaust tailpipes and a gas-filled bonnet support strut (why not on both?),Ralph Lauren Sale. Each model boasts a large boot. Honda, after all, were out to create a Grand Tourer in the true sense of the term.

What You Pay If you can live with the lack of aspirational image, you'll benefit from some affordable resale values. The 2.0-litre ES model starts at &pound;3,500 on a 1998 R plate, rising to around &pound;6,000 on a 2002 '51' registration. Add another &pound;400 onto those figures if you want the more desirable automatic. The muscular 3.0-litre V6 (only available with an auto box) starts at &pound;3,700 and tops out at around &pound;6,500 for the last of the rare 2002 51-plated examples. Insurance for the Accord Coupe 2.0 is a very reasonable Group 11, but you'll get stung if you opt for the V6, this boulevard cruiser being rated in the same Group 17 insurance bracket as the rocketship Accord Type-R saloon.

What to Look For Look for a bargain, look for accident damage, but don't expect to find too many Accords with inherent faults. These are well-engineered cars with an impeccable reliability record but the V6 is hungry on front tyres. It's also an engine that needs the right fluids, so make sure the oil has been changed regularly and that the head gasket isn't on its way out. Body panels for the Accord Coupe can be difficult to source and correspondingly pricey, so check bodywork carefully.

Replacement Parts (approx. based on a 1998 Accord Coupe 2.0ES - EX VAT) A clutch assembly is around &pound;175 and an exhaust system about &pound;420. Allow a budget of around &pound;45 respectively for front brake pads and &pound;40 for the rear. A front headlamp should be around &pound;180,louis vuitton outlet. A radiator is about &pound;180, and a starter motor around &pound;280.

On the Road The entry-level 2.0-litre ES comes in manual and automatic forms and, though a little slower than its predecessor, is rather smoother thanks to twin balancer shafts in the engine. Variable valve timing makes it feel more eager too. The V6 flagship model on the other hand, has the figures to back up the feeling. Rest to sixty occupies 8.5s on the way to 140mph, so it's a little sad for performance enthusiasts that it comes in automatic form only. Nor is there a sequential shift transmission system to allow you to use the auto 'box like a manual. Never mind. Honda say there's no need,coach handbags, believing that the Accord Coupe will be aimed at an older, less performance orientated clientele. Sales data seemed to back up this claim. Certainly, you wouldn't blanch at the thought of a trip to the south of France for this is a luxury mile-eater par excellence. Refinement has obviously been a key priority on the engineering agenda, yet shift down a gear and both engines reveal a sporting sound and character that reminds you of Honda's past motor racing successes,coach bags. Strangely it's also the only way to get hold of a V6 engine in an Accord, Honda deeming the 2.2-litre VTEC engine quite capable of mixing it with six-cylinder rivals in the executive saloon market. We'd beg to differ.

Overall If you know what you're looking for and that something is a car that's comfortable, reliable, well-engineered and sleek without being ostentatious the Honda Accord Coupe could be just your thing. Sales figures would dictate that this sort of customer is something of a rare beast and your best opportunity for tracking down a well looked after Accord Coupe may well be via a franchised dealer. Some cars make all kinds of sense new and suddenly become awful; used buys. The Accord Coupe is the opposite. There were always several more compelling new buys in the Accord's corner of the market, but second time around the Honda's blend of reliability and owner profile make it worth a look.
