It just doesn't look like an accord to me...

 

The coupe kind of looks like those nissans...but I still like it. I guess i'm not as much a die hard accord enthusiast as you, sir nasty hehe.

 

I like it even tho it doesn't look like an accord. Gotta remember tho its a new style. I personally like the front bc it looks like a badboy. My only gripe about it is that the back looks like a half *** job, control panel looks ugly bc it's so wide and its so heavy. Other than that i like it.

 

You may be on to something here dude. Im not a die hard Accord owner. In fact Ive been driving pickup trucks for the last 15 years. I bought a car because I couldnt afford a big truck any moreand wanted extra room for passengers that a small truck doesnt have and I chose the Accord for its legendary build quality and overall quality and value. However the looks of the Accord have always been kinda boring to me. I actually wanted an Altima more but they couldntgive me the deal Honda did.

That being said, I really like the new Accords, and from what Ive seen so far, would rather have one of the 08's as opposed to my '07. They look "tougher" and a little more sporty. So I think other people like me will like them as well and while the Accord fans will likely stick with them, the new more muscular look will draw in newcomers.

 

I may drive one tomorrow...interested.

 

Let us know what you think of the test drive as well please.

 

well, if it's sporty you want, don't buy an 08. I've driven Camrys, Altimas, and the Accord has always been more nimble handling and felt more tossable, rev happy. But these new models are overweight and don't have any of the agility I've always liked about the Accord. They may "look" sportier, but it's deceptive.
