I kinda like the concept but curious as to how the sedan will end up. Also curious how much the engines will be pumped up, they are a little behind the rest of the pack now.

That's like 7 years from now. Honda is cautious to bring out the big guns because they are so preoccupied with "efficiency and environment-friendly"

that is only a pic of the interior, if there was a clip of it, we could get more of an idea of how spacious it is.

The rear looks like a Chrysler 300m and I think the very front where the grille is and below it needs to be changed. The aggressive headlights looks amazing but the flat nose looks bad in my opinion. Then, I dont like how from the side view the nose hangs waaay over the wheels and looks like a cross between an Audio and Volvo.

I think they have some great ideas.....but eh, im not a big fan. Maybe it will grow on me? I think I like the new Sebring better, more hp, and it costs less.


EDIT- Just noticed the exhaust! Looks like there will be four tips...im guessing one side will be fake though. Looks sweet But may be a pain to upgrade and a lot more expensive.

I think they should stick with the 7th gen front....that was real smooth and flowing.

the four exhaust will be downgraded to dual exhaust come production time.

Looks are always subjective. There are plenty of American made cars that may cost a bit less than the Accord, but IMO, the value is not there. How long is the Sebring going to lasat w/o major problems? Have you driven a Sebring?

I have not driven the new one, but I had a couple of the previous generation for rentals last year. Driving that vehicle made me want to take the bus. My 88 accord had more personality.

This should be the 08 Accord. (Yes, I know it's the NSX/HSC)
