We don't normally keep track of family cars such as the new Accord but when one was recently bought and wanted some lighting upgrades, we obliged and studied the car up close.

Honda has really come a long way from their older Accords! Everything from the meaty key fob (push button start) to the interior leather, dual LCD screens and overall build says HIGH QUALITY

This particular 4 cyclinder model did not include HID or LED DRL's so we upgraded a few items but overall the car needs nothing.

Agreed. Honda really did well with the new Accord. Still not quite sure how I feel about the new Civic.

I think Honda really neeeed the Accord and Civic to sell well, I like their updates

I'm also a fan of the new accord, it only took them to rip off the hyundai genesis rear end, but hey the car is finally a looker all the way around. I'm still undecided on the interior quality vs. its predecessor, but still a quality piece, definitely my pick for that market segment.

So I saw a 2013 accord the other day and the back end reminded me of a beemer...Anyone else think this?

i agree. but liking the new design much better than the previous generation...wonder if this similarity was intentional?

Oh, i love the look of it no doubt. It's just what popped into my mind when i saw it lol.

Looks good.

I sat in a coworkers new Camry yesterday and was far less than impressed. The plastics felt cheap and the "leather" covered dash was tacky looking.
