Those refer to the trim levels.

The EX will have the options fitted to the lower-spec LX, and more.

Wrong thread.

Besides, over here, you said you'd bought one:

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-350093.0.html

I'd stick to that thread, rather than cluttering up the board with another.

Point of correction

babyboy and bullet are different.
Babyboy - Honda Accord 2000 model
Bullet - Honda Accord 1998 model. Actually looks like a bullet when viewed from its side.

Bulldog - Honda Accord 1996 model. Also looks like a buuldog; wide face (bonet), thick butt (trunk).
Re: Words Used To Describe Cars? by Ladealm: 10:48pm On Mar 02, 2010

Midas02:

Most nicknames or monikers have a very specific meaning and are not just mindless slangs. Also a lot of people without a clear understanding of automobiles mix up the names/monikers. "Christino" you are right about the order of Honda monikers. "Kubiboy" you have it wrong about end of discussion and beginning of evolution.

Chassis!/Cha-cha/Tear rubber = Brand New Car
Honda Halla/Skira = 1990-1993 Honda Accord
Padded =  this first refered to the Mercedes Benzes that had body coded plastic molds in the lower body sections, they looked padded e.g V-boot or W-124 series 1990 - 1995, W-126 series 1988-1991(also called padded Shagari) however people generally call cars with similar plastic mold body styling "padded"
Bulldog = Most people have it wrong today, it originally refered to the 1994 - 1997 Honda Prelude however since most people mix cars up, they started using the moniker for the 1994 - 1997 American spec Honda Accord which became far more common.
Bullet = This is the name for the 1994-1998 European spec Honda Accord
Academy = This is the original moniker for the 1994 - 1997 American Spec  Honda Accord
Muscle/Bakassi = Current model (2007) Toyota Camry
Babyboy =  American Spec Honda Accord (1998-2002)
Beast = This was the ultimate Mercedes Benz S-Class W-140 series; this cars were massive and impressive hence the name
End of Discussion = American Spec Honda Accord (2003-2005)
Beginning of Evolution = Not a very popular moniker yet however it refers to American Spec Honda Accord (2006-2007). Major difference with the "End of Discussion" is that the Rear light/bumper assembly was revamped and restyled. Front assembly remained unchanged!
Pencil light = 1997-1999 Toyota Camry (refers to the back light being narrow and straight across)

Beautiful corrections to all the mix ups been fed here since (Esp Accord 2002 which is a ''baby boy'' wrongly referred to as ''bull dog'').
But just a small dissent, IMO, Accord 2006-2007 is ''Discussion Continues''

In addition;

Accord 2009-2011== ''Evil Spirit''

I stand to be corrected!
