I like the grille and headlights but the back seems rather dull and it looks like along with the coupe that led tailights are gone, and no projector headlights just regular ones. It is definatly a wider looking car i'm just curious to see what the interior is going to look like.

i agree. hatin it doesnt have projectors, but thats where retros step in. cant tell me it wont look better with a lip kit and bigger shoes.. if i wasnt so deep in the process of modding my current accord, soon as this hits the showroom floor i would be ON IT. i wanna see the 08 inspire.. this new gen has LOTS of potential

It looks ugly compared to the 06-07, IMO. Maybe I need to see it on some 17-18's with lower profile tires. Just seems bulky and bland.

Looks like something Hyundai would design. Honda is better off putting HID projectors into the 07 and call that an 08.

The sedan is Fugly, no wonder why honda came out with the coupe first. If they would have shown the sedan, people would have been like why am I even waiting for this bland car. Let's hope this is really not how it looks

I am a huge Accord fan but I am very disappointed with the look of the sedan...its just too boring looking...doesn't have a nice flow to the lines. Honda could have done better. period.

well only the 06/07 phase change had the 3rd brake light on the trunk... the 03-05's had it inside rear window just like this 8th gen. Maybe the 8th gen phase change will get it back on the trunk.

its okay... nothing a drop/wheels/retro/tints and a nice kit couldnt fix (just like the current gen) :o

I don't think its bad, it will probably look a lot better once they wash the car and get it in some better looking paint :p

Side note: How much better do you guys think the front end would have been if they retained the Acura "signature" crease going down the middle of the hood and bumper? :hide:

As I've said in previous posts, I hate the current style of most non-uber-expensive cars with their edgy Neo-Morpheus-Matrix Generation styling. Adding that "Acura Crease" would add more edginess. *Thumbs down.*

I can't wait until we get smooth and curvy cars back. I miss the NSX, 3000GT, RX-7, Supra, 300ZX, C5 Corvette, etc.

Or you could consider that that subtle crease that carries through the grille and bumper would eliminate the flatness of the front end? :o

Where the roof rools into the c-pillars looks a little Dodge Avenger-ish and that kills it. Hopefully it will grow on me. I also hope the grill is not a single piece, if so theft will be a problem!

I like it.

Yeah, it's a bit bland, but it looks better than the new Camry, IMHO :o

The shape of the doors and the side profile of the trunk and rear bumper kinda resemble a Bimmer, while from the front 3/4 view the shape of the rear resembles the current RL's. The way the body sits close to the tires is also very Bimmer-ish, but they'll probably jack up the ride height of the production version and therefore ruin the tight tire gap.

I do prefer the rear end of the 06-07 Accord sedan, though. I would've never bought a 7th gen had they not redesigned the rear end.

My ideal Accord sedan would have the 8th gen's front end on the 7th gen's body. If there's a part of my 7G that I really don't care for, it's the front. Standing directly in front of the car, the 7th gen's front end doesn't look bad, but from just about every other angle it looks awkward. It's just too rounded and bulbous compared to the rest of the car, which is relatively "chiseled" and angular. The 8th gen's front end is what the 7th gen's should've been, IMO.

It's hard to tell by the pictures, but the car doesn't look much bigger than the 7th gen. It'd be nice if they had a spy shot of the new car next to the old one. Then we could see how much, if any, size difference there is between the two.

I'm guessing that the length, width, and height are similar, but the wheelbase has been increased a few inches for more rear seat legroom (which is kinda tight in the 7G sedan, even compared to my old 6G sedan).

What I really want to know is: What's under the hood? It better be something good if Honda wants to be competitive with the current crop of family sedans. That means no dinky 3.0L V6 with a torque peak way up where nobody can reach it on a daily basis. I'm hoping that the rumors are true, and that Honda is using a 3.5.

I look forward to driving an 8th gen AV6 in a few years, provided they do put in a beefier motor.

BY FAR, the best looking accord!

WAYYYY better than the 7th gen (which i think is hideous).

but this is my favorite part:

Engine choices are still under wraps, but expect an updated version of the
automaker's 3.5-liter V-6, which should make somewhere in the neighborhood of the 270 hp
range, along with a 2.4-liter four with around 180 hp, which was likely powering the
production mule seen here.
in a couple years when i'm done with school, have a job, and buy a house i think i
will be getting the 8th gen sedan with v6, 6spd.

Well, until they actually get serious about making a performance oriented more-than-four-cylinder car, and ditch the emissions super friendliness like how they did with the NSX (which wasn't ULEV or anything), Honda has lost a customer in regards to new car purchases. If Nissan rounds out the Z like they pictured in Road and Track's estimate as pictured below, I'll be going with them.

LMAO! Now you know you are a DAMN lie and it must have took everything in you to muster enough strength to say something as ludicrous as "looks better than the Camry IMO". Wow, you just cant take the fact that the new Camry is the ****t! That new Accord is beyond ugly. Its fugly! This the comment I wrote on Motortrends site:

"OMG! Has thine eyes deceived me? Or is this the so-called "Camry Killer" i am currently looking at? Now I don't want to laugh because maybe this isn't the US version of the Accord sedan but I cant hold it back....AH HA HA HAAAAAAAAAA! ROTFLMAO! This is the car that is going to set the industry standard?! Thats going to CRUSH the Carmy style-wise?! That's going to "steal" all of the Camry sales? Yea da fukk right lmao! Wow! It looks like the last-generation Hyundai designers made that thing. It's fugly! It looks like a Saturn married to a Sonata. I would rebuy a Camry over this monstrosity and I can't believe I am saying this but a Sonata, Altima, Aura, and dare I say...Fusion, over this abomination. YUCK YUCK YUCK! LMAO. There is a God after all. Wow. I can't wait to post this on other forums! Wow I was really expecting something quite nice from Honda. Well, I think its safe to say Toyota and Nissan can breathe a sigh of relief (if they were even worried in the first place) because this Accord is THE NEW GRANDMA CAR!"

Does the Camry V6 have a 6spd manual tranny available? Since when the heck are Toyota's sporty youthful cars? LOL. Crap, the RAV4 that my sis just picked up is sportier and better looking imo than even an SE Camry which looks tacky and fake with that bolted on body kit. It looks like some space invaders ricer deal. Horrible IMO. Other manufacturers manage to get sporty and aggressive yet classy looks without being too gaudy or tacky like the Camry SE.

And as you so candidly pointed out, everything you just mentioned is SUBJECTIVE OPINION and NOT FACT! The FACT that everyone in my area seems to driving new Camrys and MOST of them are younger than 30...and the fact that when I first got my car about 95% of compliments came from MEN under 25...and the fact that my friends seems to like my car more than their cousins new BMW 3-series, really goes against YOUR opinion. People right now are buying new Altimas and Camry's in my area. If you think the Camry is ugly, perfectly fine. Toyota doesn't care one way or the other and you dont care either. The Camry will still continue to outsell the Accord and remain #1. The 08 Accord is UGLY and I would bet my life that if there was a Camry badge on that contraption, you all would be slaughtering that car and bashing its looks.

You are possibly just another biased Honda fanatic. My response to the MT forum was warranted because those people on there are tremendously disrespectful, and they bash the Camry ever chance they get, even if it has nothing to do with the topic. Again, the fact that the Accord has been out for all these years and I see more people driving 07 Camrys, says a heck of a lot. And on TN there are SEVERAL people who were Honda loyalist who traded-in their Accords when the new Camry came out. So I guess we'll enjoy our "grandma cars" and you can enjoy your "great grandma" 08 Accord.

Like I said the Camry isnt the end all product. There are comparable cars. But for me and a heck of a lot of other people, the Camry won the sale.

No hard feelings, this is just an auto forum. You invite hostility when you try to belittle someone in a thread instead of doing the "tactful" thing and sending me a private message. Thank You.

I am sitting here laughing and looking at tv. So Ihave nothing to calm down about. And, my feelings arent based on "pride" its based upon the fact that the Accord didnt appeal to me, not the compay.

(1) why are you still commenting to me?? (2) the fact that you have nothing else better to do than to dissect everything I say shows how immature and pathetic you must be. I suggest you go out and purchase a life. (3) Even after I ignored you and told you I was over the situation, your panties were so much in a bunch that you just had to show your true age and continue to be immature and TRY to insult me.

In conclusion, you are just some internet jerk that I dont care for, don't have to care for, and can now TRULY choose to ignore you. I dont care what you like or dont like. Sorry, not interested. I am not indebted to you in any way shapre or form. I feel like I'm arguing with a 14 year old who hasn't taken his meds for the day to calm himself down. Please don't address me anymore and I certainly will not address you either whether u choose to comment on me or not. Thats the power of ignoring for you. Happy trails. You are the epitome of a hypocrite and as such, you will be ignored. You have absolutely ZERO credibility as proven by your baseless and unsubstantied rants backed with no fact or real proof.

LMAO! Now you know you are a DAMN lie and it must have took everything in you to muster enough strength to say something as ludicrous as "looks better than the Camry IMO". Wow, you just cant take the fact that the new Camry is the ****t! That new Accord is beyond ugly. Its fugly!


Holy over-reaction Batman! :laugh:

All I did was state my opinion, something that everyone is entitled to do, in case you weren't aware.

If I don't particularly care for the way the new Camry looks, that's fine. You obviously disagree, and that's fine, too. Different strokes for different folks.

If everyone had the same opinion on everything, the world would be a very boring place.

Take care! :cool:

(1) why are you still commenting to me??Because I'm a moderator trying to keep things under control.

(2) the fact that you have nothing else better to do than to dissect everything I say shows how immature and pathetic you must be.The fact that you would come on this site and make such flaming intolerant and bigoted posts shows what a WINNAR you surely must be yourself.

I suggest you go out and purchase a life. (3) Even after I ignored you and told you I was over the situation, your panties were so much in a bunch that you just had to show your true age and continue to be immature and TRY to insult me.You're a douche and everybody here knows it. Your posts and attitude speaks for itself. To you of course, it's EVERYBODY ELSE that's retarded and not you. No, never you. :)

In conclusion, you are just some internet jerk that I dont care for, don't have to care for, and can now TRULY choose to ignore you. I dont care what you like or dont like. Sorry, not interested.In other words you're an intolerant bigot who is UNABLE to handle any other opinion except your own. Because I do feel differently than YOU I am therefore an <<insert personal insults here>>. How mature.

I am not indebted to you in any way shapre or form. I feel like I'm arguing with a 14 year old who hasn't taken his meds for the day to calm himself down.Talking about yourself??

Please don't address me anymore and I certainly will not address you either whether u choose to comment on me or not.I'll address WHOMEVER I choose too, and if you can't handle it then logoff.

Thats the power of ignoring for you. Happy trails. You are the epitome of a hypocrite and as such, you will be ignored. You have absolutely ZERO credibility as proven by your baseless and unsubstantied rants backed with no fact or real proof.That's right. YOUR opinion is CORRECT, YOU know what's going on based on your he-said she-said man on the street style FACTS for which you could "prove" anything. If anybody else feels differently than you then THEY are stupid, an idiot, have no credibility, blah blah blah.


Bye bye now, thanks for playing. :wave:

Wow is right! As stated you are very immature. Posting someone's private message in a forum and abusing your right as a mod. But thats expected. You probably don't have any control over your real life so you live your fantasy life vicariously through this site where you can have some "power" if you will because in real life you are overlooked and a pushover. Nothing else needs to be said lol.

Aren't Moderator reports supposed to be kept from the general populace, and not be used to de-face anyone... regardless of how big of a jerk he/she was? I'm not saying I didn't get a laugh from it, or that the person didn't deserve to be banned (he/she did, no doubt), but I don't think that allows for a moderator (as intelligent and neutral as he may be) to post report/complaints that've been sent in.

I also think it's time for an IP ban, if "Everlast" is the same jerk. Kinda reminds me of that one "girl" who came all up in here and started getting into arguments left and right.

I've never had a short-circuited flaming troll make a cry baby report post honestly complaining about a moderator who's just trying to talk some sense into them and keep them under control. I thought that was hilarious. In the old days I would have seen his first reply to james and just hit the ban button. Seeing as how they were registered here since 2005, I was trying to give them a little leeway and also trying to not ban them, but wow! oh well....

Back on topic...

I have mixed feelings. The design is progressive but comes across very bloated to me. I'll have to see it in person to pass actual judgement.

I think the "bloated" look is coming from Euro crash protection rules which specifies a minimum clearance between the hood and any engine components. People have to be able to crash onto hoods without getting "stuck" by sharp and hot engine components. All these big plastic engine covers are driving that too. Back a month or so ago I predicted that the new Accord would have a "bloat/boat" look like the new Camry also in lieu of these rules, and that if people want something sleek then to get the 7th gens while they're still new. :) Manufacturers try to design things for all markets, and hence US designs can still get affected by rules in other regions.

Definitely a first for me...reporting a SM. When I first read it, I began to run through the list of "usual suspects" in my head. I did not expect a SM!

Damn those Europeans! That's why all the new cars have the big bulbous blunt fronts from the side view now. I really hope they make some cars that aren't meant for the European market that still have sexy low-slung fronts of yore.

I kindof like the look of the sedan, but it still feels way too tall. Atleast the rear pillar isn't unobtrusively large like my dad's Avalon is. These look like you will be able to see out of the efficiently. Overall I agree with the design of it. Not way over the top, but it's not completely bland either. Just the right mix of both.

Well, from those pictures it deosn't look that good. But if you look closely, it resembles the coupe "concept" in almost every aspect, especially if they took the tape off. it's just missing big(er) wheels and quad exhaust. I must say, I do like the looks of the oval tip on the sedan.

To start off with, this generation Accord sedan does look better in my opinion. It's not revolutionary, but we pretty much knew it wasn't going to be. Honda (like any company) isn't going to take a big risk on their best selling &/or flagship model. I think we (those on this site) would have liked to see the next Accord turn into a car with the class of the RL & the sporty flavor of the S2K; but think about it, Acura (for us USA buyers) is standing over the Honda line with a big stick. Honda Motor Company has to maintain the reason for people to step up into a TL. Heck, you should have seen the faces of the Acura sales people when I bought my TL sway bars and told them I was putting them on an Accord :p

I do agree that the 7th gen sedan had conflicting vibes between its front and back (someone up thread pointed this out). The 7th gen front works great for the coupes, but the sedan looked as though it should get a pointer front.

At least those Malibu'esque C-pillars are gone :)
