I'll dare to be different and say that I like the way it looks. Much better than the 5th and 6 generations. I don't think the Accords have ever looked bad, but they have never been anything special from a styling perspective. I've owned two Accords. The 1990 was an okay car to get me through college, but the 1982 sedan (with trunk rack!) was a bit of a dog.

I think the exterior looks like a mix of Chevrolet, Hundai, the new Chrysler Sebring and a hint of BMW. The front overhang is huge and the car looks unbalanced.
The steering wheel is hideous and it appears Honda has stooped to copying GM.
Here is the Pontiac G8 steering wheel (this was out for over half a year now):

The new Accord has gotten huge, and has a smaller trunk - seems like Honda is caving in and TRYING to emulate other car companies, instead of being the pioneers they used to be.

I actually like the new look ALOTT. Specially the sedan. The rear on the coupe looks like a Pontiac (G6) or Mitsubishi (late model Galant)
I'm sure its gonna be a blast to drive in the manual too.

I think the interior is spectacular, even though the wheel is a bit frumpy. I can see similarities to the GM wheel but I think the Accord one looks better - less chunky, more edgy, more attractive (but still not good looking).
Overall, I think this car looks quite a bit better than the last generation. With the improvement in interior room, I'm somewhat tempted to get this (with V6, since mileage is almost identical the I4) instead of a CR-V.
