I have searched and cannot find if anyone has posted the frontal area of the 6th gen Accord. I saw the 7th gen, but not 6th gen.

Anyone know?

what do you mean by "frontal area"? Do you want a picture of the front of an accord? I don't understand your question =[

I need to frontal area to calculate the drag that the car produces when moving.

According to my calculations, 24.5 sq.ft. If you manage to find it more specifically in a mainstream magazine (old issue) let me know if it's listed differently, but this should be pretty close.

Drag @ 30 mph: 18 lbs
Drag @ 60 mph: 72 lbs
Drag @ 80 mph: 128 lbs
Drag @ 100 mph: 201 lbs
Drag @ 120 mph: 289 lbs
