heres some pics from hondas websitewith 360* views of the sedan and coupe. the coupe doesn't look that much different than the concept.

At least they upped the HP to 190 in the 4cyl and 268 in the V6. Don't see the torque yet or the weights. I am not a fan of the styling though. It will have to grow on me.

 

The fuel mileage for the 4cly seems to be a good 5 mpg lower than the 7 gen.

 

i really like the coupe, but i have to say the sedan does not do it for me. i cannot believe the coupe and sedan are the same car!

 

i dont like either of them. not only because its got more power than mine, but it looks like a cross between the new eclipse and a saturn ion

 

i'll stick to my 5th gen

 

i actually kinda like it but ive grown used to the somewhat bubbly 7th gen accord. the new ones are somewhat sharper now. i like that body groove on the side of the sedan that kinda reminds me of the tl. its also cool that they brought back the engine difference between the ex model and the rest. i didnt like how i paid more for the ex and didnt really have that much of a performance advantage over the lower models with the exception of rear disc brakes

 

not bad...can see some similarities to the 7th gen in the over all lines, but they did a lot of squaring...

 

Yeah, looks like a Saturn Ion from the side, and an Altima from the front.

 

Am I looking at it wrong, but under specs for the sedan, does it say 4cyl only gets manual?
