nick: i like the honda accord you showed me before.
i think it's more practical for my needs.
john: alright, sir. you are making a good choice.
honda has made a lot of design improvements in the new accord.
nick: what does it come with standard?
john: on all our new cars, the standards include:
air conditioning, anti-lock brakes, air bags, and an am/fm stereo with a cd player.
but on the accord, there is another standard item as well.
the accord comes with cruise control.
nick: cruise control? i don't like that.
john: why not, sir?
nick: i think it's dangerous. what if i can't turn it off?
john: well, sir, i know some of our customers are concerned about cruise control.
but honda has never had a single cruise control malfunction that led to an accident.
nick: i wish it didn't have cruise control. my wife doesn't like it either.
john: you know, sir, you don't have to use it.
you can turn it on or off. if you don't want to use it, you just never turn it on.
nick: i suppose. and what about the sunroof? is that standard?
john: no, the sunroof is optional, sir.
nick: i see. another important question is the time i can get this car.
i need a new car rather soon.
john: well, i can say that the new models will be here in august.
if you order one now, we will have it for you in august.
nick: that's good enough, i think. what colors does the new accord come in?
john: we have this new model in red, white, black, or silver.
these are the standard colors.
of course you could specially order from various other colors too. 
nick: my brother has last year's accord.
and his car is a kind of soft purple color mixed with silver.
i really like that color. i wonder if i can get that color on my accord.
john: i know the color you mean. is this it, sir?
nick: yes, i think that's it. can i get that on the accord?
john: yes, you can.
that color is very popular with honda buyers. so we've kept it available.
nick: well, i think i want to order the new accord then.
it looks like an excellent car.
john: you have made a good choice, sir.
i drive an accord myself. they are very solidly built machines, very reliable.
nick: yes, i know. i think honda is the most reliable car on the road.
i would never change to anything else.
the honda i have now almost never has service problems. it runs smooth as silk.
john: alright, sir. i will get the paperwork ready for you. just a moment.
