Looks like a chevy malibu from the front.

Well, your thread did focus on spy pics of the coupe...

I think the new Accord sedan is particularly ugly. Even worse than the '03, probably. But, Accords haven't looked particularly good since the '86-'89, though the '94-'97 weren't bad. From the photos I've seen, this new Accord sedan just looks like shit. They'll still sell a ton nonetheless.

The official pictures of the coupe look very good, and the butt is not as big. Even better, it'll be available with a manual transmission for the 268hp V6.

The nose is not charming.
I suspect it will be a lot like the current Accord, ugly on the outside, surprisingly nice on the inside but just never feeling special.
Unfortunately I really do think this exterior styling is very disjointed. The last car was dull, this one is just off.

The idea that the back end of the C-pillar line should line up with the front end of the tail-light line is what made the BMW 5-series the ugly duckling that it is. I don't know why so many manufacturers are copying this horrid execution.
