2008 Honda Accord Sedan Rendering

This rendering was sourced from the Hollywood Extra website. If the real 08' Accord sedan stays true to form it wont be as bad looking as I thought. The body seemed to have been shortened some and more in-line with the Acura TSX (Euro Accord). IMO it looks slightly more upscale and a lil' less conservative or homely looking than the current one.

The front end has a lot of Lexus in it IMO.

Re: 2008 Honda Accord Sedan Rendering

I didn't think too much of the Accord Coupe Concept and found it quite ugly. But this doesn't look too bad (minus the spoiler)

Re: 2008 Honda Accord Sedan Rendering

its okay, but i think it might fend some people off because it looks to sporty/aggressive for an accord

Well I think if the more aggressive look appearing in this Accord make it to the production model it will probably be used as an exclusive special edition model similar to that of the Toyota Camry SE. Honda and Toyota seem to micmic eachothers styling in some respects. I think this would be all the more reason why GM needs to rush the Saturn Aura RL into production.

Re: 2008 Honda Accord Sedan Rendering

I think some of the lines are conflicting. However, overall, it's pretty good looking.

None of her internal organs are working. But overall, she seems in good health...

OK, here's what it would like if Honda bought Chrysler and took the by far superior Sebring to replace their slow-selling Accord by doing some emergency sheetmetal work... I think we all know the difference between that and reality...

No kidding. Honda's styling keeps getting uglier and uglier. The current Accord with the 06 freshening (the 03-05 sedan rear end looked fugly) looks great, in fact it's the best looking Accords in 10 years. Why ruin that? I don't mind daring designs, but at least make them look attractive.

Re: 2008 Honda Accord Sedan Rendering

I wouldn't mind that car. I am saying this from seeing that one little small picture. I am going to have to see a whole lot more to make a real and final decision.

I'd rather see GM give the Aura a MCE with the body kits and fender flares. The regular Aura looks so....sedate.
