Wow, that looks great for an Accord. Very nice work by Honda. A little Ridgeline influence there in the grill. I like the offset on the wheels too. The side crease is taken straight off the G35.

I think it looks nice. And, I also think this really isn't a "concept." I bet this is the next-gen. Accord coupe but for a few small details (like exhaust outlets). Looks very production ready. I do wish the front end was a little softer, though. All our cars don't need to look as though they're ready to plow through a cinder block wall. Also, I don't care for the slats in the opening below the grille. Looks busy. But, the flanks are beautiful. Nicest application of the Bangle surface treatment yet (maybe he WAS on to something but just failed in his executions?). There is, however, no way an Accord will be RWD. SH-AWD would be nice, though...

Well, there's a new video that says thsi Accord is gonna be close to the actual production model. Remember, the NSX is still very "concepty" and I'm sure the closer we get to the release the better it would look.

I feel weird

because they always introduce the new generation Accord by the 4 door sedan first, isn't it?

This is really interesting. I wonder what the price point is going to be for the big engine version. Especially if they add in SHAWD... I bet youre looking at 30 easy for an accord. I would also not be surprised if this is the first step toward a 2 door TL.

I'm a little disappointed. I've been talking this up to my wife for over a year now. She wants a new Accord and I've been making her wait for the 08. Too bad it looks EXACTLY like the car she has now.





Oh well, I'll probably still buy her one. Maybe we'll get an 07 instead.

Looks good... nowhere near as aggressive as the concept drawing everybody was freaking out over though. I wonder if it will get watered down a lot by production.

I love it. Make it 4WD and I might consider one for a daily driver. Im still crossing my fingers for an AWD TSX.
