Brenda Priddy just sent us three new pics: two through-the-window shots and one from behind the vehicle with an open view of the driver's door panel of a white coupe mule. Our "spy shot" budget has already been stretched pretty thin but we couldn't pass on this one pic that provides a pretty good look at the center stack (from a blue sedan). It's difficult to see in this photo, but another photo in the set from a slightly different angle confirms that this car has a 5-speed manual transmission - a good indicator that we're looking at the interior of a 4-cylinder model. While there appears to be a screen embedded in the dash, we're having our doubts that there's a Navi in this particular vehicle since we don't see any of the typical Navi-related buttons (Map/Guide, Menu, Info, Zoom, Setup, etc...) included in the array of buttons on the dash, not to mention the lack of an "i-drive" type of navigation "mouse" that such a deep set display would require. If this is the case, then we're guessing that most (if not all) Accords will have an LCD panel of some sort located in the dash for HVAC and radio functions and navi models will get an upgraded display as well as a reconfigured panel of buttons.

Also from this shot it appears that the 4-cylinder model will go forward with a single zone climate control system. A photo from a V6 model that circulated a week or so ago showed a slightly different layout that appeared to indicate a multizone climate control.
