It's my dad's "around-town" car, but I'm driving it until I know I can purchase a car and keep it in a safe and enclosed garage... like this Accord is. If I end up leaving for college, I don't want it sitting around outside. It's really not too bad, many car manufactures offer both. Acura, Lexus, Infiniti (all Infiniti's have HIDs and LEDs, I think), Audi, Mercedes, Cadillac, and so on offer, or include as standard equipment, both. I would still purchase a vehicle without these technologies, so long as the reflectors or projectors are well designed -- I won't if I can help it. Honda seems to do an excellent job with lighting, so it really doesn't matter too much.
