Default Well guys, here it is..


Honda's new Accord has been spotted, completely undisguised, on a brochure shoot in Canada. The new Accords will reach the production line this coming September or October, with the first shipments to dealers shortly afterwards. The sedans and coupe spotted are likely all V-6 cars, but Honda has publicly talked about more horsepower, better fuel economy, cylinder deactivation, and lower emissions for the V-6-powered Accord. And although there's no word from Honda, we're anticipating a 3.5-liter V-6 with about 270 horsepower, and a 180-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder.






Sedan








Coupe





I am really feeling the coupe...... jury is still out on the sedan for me... styling is too generic for the market these days.... kinda like the last one..

The sedan looks like a JP version of a VW Passat -- both very unremarkable

I think the sedan is Camry-ish... but then they are direct competitors.

The coupe is sharp, although a bit bulky looking.

One thing that I'm very disappointed in is how the Japanese companies have stepped away from fenders that tightly wrap the tires and gone to large wheel gaps similar to mid-90's domestics.

It always surprises me when people call Accords and Camrys "boring" or "unremarkable." When were Accords or Camry's anything other than "boring" or "unremarkable." Why can't they just be accepted as the ordinary cars that they are designed to be?

Meh... Same ol' ish... Decent, I guess, as far as the coupe goes...

Nothing spectactular as usual from Honda...

I agree with 00CivicSi... Too "camry"-ish for me...

No offense intended. But why can't these cars have better styling? I think the older B5 Passat had clean lines for a family 4-door, but the new Camry's, the latest Passat, and this new Accord, each seem to have been designed by multiple teams -- one for the front, etc., etc.

For me, the overall look of the sedan when compared to the present Camry sedan...

The coupe has a hint of TL to it, esp. the front end and headlights... Of course the TL is the Accord everywhere else I believe??
