That's a big difference; the rear looks nothing the same, they either are completely redoing the back of the Accord for both markets, or like I said...it can't be, and it's another car. The main things that made me believe that it isn't a Honda is the backup taillights near the license plate frame, usually Hondas have the rear lights integrated in the taillights. Plus, it seems too soon for honda to do such a reskin. I swear this has to be a different car, and I think it's a GM....I wish this could be confimed what it is. Whoever took the pictures, did you look in the interior? If so was it similar to the Accords? What about the Front? |
I'm going to post what I posted on another forum:
Most auto manufacturers are on a 5 year cycle. Toyta, Honda, and Nissan are to name a few. GM is not.
Honda Accord:
1- 1998.....new model year......2003
2- 1999..minimal changes if any...2004
3- 2000..minimal changes if any...2005
4- 2001......refresh model........2006
5- 2002...final model year run...2007
Now as you can see, the Accord is due for it's refresh.
If you've payed attention, Honda usually comes out with their new Accord 1 year after Toyota has introduced their new Camry. And the same applies to their refresh for the Accord. Makes sense.
1997- New Camry
1998- New Accord
2002- New Camry
2003- New Accord
The Camry just received a refresh for '05. That means it has two model years left or at this point, one and a half. 2006 is the final year for the current Camry. 2007 will bring a all-new Camry. The following year will bring the all-new Accord. By the way, Honda switched to a 5 year cycle for the Accord in 1998. Civic switched in '96.
1997/2007 - New Camry
1998/2008 - New Accord
Interesting.
