Re: '08 Honda Accord exposed

I think the Coupé looks pretty good, although I don't like red.

The blue one is your typical well-proportioned but bland Asian bread-and-butter saloon car.

Re: '08 Honda Accord exposed

I think the Sedan looks quite good actually, could do with a better wheel design though, the Coupe looks great as well. Honda has most certainly achieved a more interesting and attention grabbing look whit this car compared to the current car. I think I'd consider the diesel Accord Sedan if I were on the market for a family four door.

Re: '08 Honda Accord exposed

The coupé looks nice, as does the sedan but it seems too similar to the Hyundai Sonata.

Re: '08 Honda Accord exposed

Honda's designers must have a mandate to come up with the most pedestrian, unoffensive designs possible = bland as hell. Neither the coupe or sedan look like anything worth mentioning.

Edit: the more I look at the pics, the sedan gets even uglier and the coupe is just plain wierd looking.

Re: '08 Honda Accord exposed

The sedan is awful!

After all that avantgarde design coming out of Honda with the FR-V, Civic and CR-V, I had high hopes that the new Accord would build on the current model's sporty persona. But now...? What a backward step; I can only hope that this is a US market-only version and that JDM and the rest of the planet gets something with a bit more pizzazz.

Re: '08 Honda Accord exposed

And just look at how Honda stuck that landing! Judges scores: 8.0 - 8.9 - 9.3 - 8.2 - 7.9

My first impression is very positive. The coupe has a very nice front fascia, and the Sedan is much better than I expected.

A bit disappointed that the coupe's rear lights aren't as trick as the concept's. Still bummed that the coupe and sedan share what's essentially the same face. We haven't seen the interior yet, but I'm already convinced that this makes a snotrag out of the Camry.

I think a 09' Coupe could very well squirm its way into my carport. If the Navi is "intelligent" like the Acura units then I'm really sold.

Funny Martin, you'd think we're looking at two different cars. Remember, this is the Honda freakin' Accord we're talking about here. The sedan looks as though it could pass as an Acura... but hey, that's just me.
