sry for the late response but i dont want to be percieved in the forum as a liar making up false things or what not. but yeah there is cruise control in the accord, well it may not be called accord but the inspire is definately an accord. here is the site, its in mandarin but you can easily get though it. go to the touch the inspire, and click on the image portraying vsc. the blue inspire has the beam on the bumper and i would definatley have to say that that, thats the cruise control after seeing the demonstration video.this is the site for the chrome issue, i think that the little touches makes a lot of difference such as on the small slit of chrome on the door handles and the huge chromed grill with the "recessed"(sorry for the lack of a better word) hood and awsome hids and fogs make it luxury.. yes Lexus..and bimmers are maybe some would say just not on the same league. but i think i have proven my case that asian accords are good enough in my opinion to compete with such top brands..
