2008 Accord?

Kowalski · 05-27-2006, 09:53 AM

Looks like a BIG Civic sedan.

Old Dood · 05-27-2006, 09:54 AM

No over hang. Not bad looking...but is it really an 08 model?

gm_scott · 05-27-2006, 10:27 AM

looks pretty nice.

This looks quite like the concepts Honda has been showing of late, so there might be something in it. Definitely a million times better than the current one.

I think it looks great

black93sts · 05-27-2006, 12:42 PM

Good looking car, a little less bland than the last few accords for sure...

Chopping off the back and the rake of the wind shield really give it some performance character in appearance. Shortening the back that much seems too extreme for Honda to do to the Accord, but ya never know.

They really pushed the envelope with the Element and the Ridgeline's styling as well as the overall concept of the new Civic Si. They also went a little radical with the Civic's dash. Even so, I would think they would keep their sedan more conservative, but they might feel they really need to push it to keep pace and pass the new Camry.

Bottomline: I don't know what to think.

Whatever it is, it looks pretty good.

Lump of mud with wheels. Typical ugly style these days. I doubt we'll see an Accord in the USA styled like that. I'm just one of the masses with ordinary tastes so take it for what it's worth.

I don't like it. Reminds me of a jellybean.

Looks like a mix between the Civic & the Acura TSX. Not a very good combination.

It's not terrible, but it's not attractive either, IMHO. Why can't Toyota or Honda produce a *Good Looking* car? Is it really that difficult?

Looks like Acura CSX
