Cheers!:D

looks like a cheap TL....Good job honda

The side and back of the coupe looks like a 3 series, and the side of the sedan looks like a TL...but it doesnt look bad, it looks quite nice actually.

Isn't that basically what an Accord is?

Looks like the Mitsubishi Galant to me. Don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

Yeah this car reminded me of a lot of different cars...hehe...I like the coupe version.

I wonder if they will ever come out with a sporty version...hmmm.

Isn't that basically what an Accord is?

Well considering the Accords been out a lot longer, i'd say no

^Id say the TL is an upscale Accord:rolleyes:.......NOT!!! They are two totally different cars in different categories

Isn't that basically what an Accord is?
yeah, exactly.

no Johnny, you can't talk mister Yay area

looks like a sedan version of the suzuki sx4(from the front end)

ooo it does, nice observation!

The sedan is ugly but the coupe is sweet. 268hp V6 with a 6spd manual? I'd take one in black.

Wow, great picture, it has that "in your face!!!" feel to it.

It shares some styling cues from the ugly (but highly functional) duckling, the Honda Ridgeline. That grill is obviously similar to the higher end Ridgeline grills.

It'll look great in coupe form as Attaus mentioned. The sedan might not look as good.....

Nice car, but isnt this the third redesign in the past few years?

Oh, and nice avatar Chriz. :D

i like the new coupe too looks very good and sleek .

Whooo! How marginally interesting with a touch more soul than the new Camery.

^don't make me call VTEC Dreams, he'll be on your ass like a mutha****er

it doesn't look good to me.

i think that Honda goes backwards, the previous ones looks so much better i don't know but this reminds me on BMW 5 series

:eek: Holy shiznipples, it really does!!! :shock: How could I not notice that as a car enthusiast?!?! Actually, don't answer that, blame the placement of the reverse-gear white lights.....

well then teh 08 accord is a poor man's 5 series lol...

I just saw a few at the dealer lot a few hours ago, looks pretty good.

cool, how do the curves look like in person?

Great. I was skeptical about the styling from the initial spy shots and pictures, but in real life, it's great looking. Reminds me of my wife's '98. It's got the same stance and some of the same lines. That's a good thing. Also, check out the hoffmeister kink in the rear window, and the way that the rear taillight goes with the line of the side windows. There's a lot of attention to detail in the '08 that doesn't usually go into "family cars".

I'm not so happy that it's gained 200 pounds across the line, but it's not a sportscar, so it's not a huge deal, and 200 pounds isn't much of a gain compared to some others around this cars size...especially considering that the interior is almost a foot bigger in every direction compared to the last gen. Supposedly it wears it's new weight incredibly well. In comparison to the last gen, Honda recalibrated the double wishbones at all four corners, lowered the engine's mounting a little to lower the center of gravity, and quickened up the steering a smidge...and the 200 horse K24/5 speed combo in the LX-S is truly old school Honda magic.

I dig it.

uummmm the coupe looks great....268 hp...and great mpg¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ its a must have

Whooo! How marginally interesting with a touch more soul than the new Camery.
I don't know, those Camry's are pretty sporty-lookin'! :rolleyes:

New Accord looks like what every other Midsize commuter sedan strives to be - boring. It has the same qualities of a BMW from the side, but at least BMW actually made the 5-series look good from the front and a more shapely rear. If anything, the new Accord is to the BMW 5-series as Kia or Hyundai is to Mercedes. A cheaper, somewhat similar looking car that has an unmistakeable touch of boredom.

The coupe will look better, of course, because it has some slightly more stylish cues, but that first picture is a bit of an overstatement. This is the kind of car you and I will see:

Pretty atypical if you ask me.

the coupe looks like a crossbreed between a dbs and a new 2008 m3 coupe
