Looks like a decent update - front end facia shanges, and the rear end is less bulbus - I like the chunky TL wheels too, they look good on the Accord

Sedan: http://www.vtec.net/forums/one-message?message_id=389734

rear end looks MUCH better, and the sedan now comes with a 6-speen manual transmission available with the V6

[jspeicher]

not a big fan of what honda is doing lately with their accords/civics

 

[meltdown75]

you're all about the car threads now eh. you're the man now dog!

 

[neutralizer]

Whew... the rear end isn't ugly anymore, looks like the TL I think.

 

[blazerazor]

I dont like it, looks like its turning into a probe.

 

[fs5]

looks the same?

 

nice

 

[radioouman]

saw one yesterday... looks a little bit better...

 

It doesn't look that much different to me from the current design.

Just a MMC, just small updates. The Accord Sedan will get the biggest improvement, with a totally redesigned rear end.

still don't like it.

I like the 2002 Accord coupe body style.

Well, that makes my decision to get the 4dr or an Acura a little easier. Weird looking while also looking a lot like the previous models.

 

[Aharami]

highly uninspiring

Why don't these photographers have any balls? He should've peeled off the tape on the back at least...sheesh!

Which looks exactly like the butt of a Ford Five Hundred. I like the current rear end quite a bit (I own an '04). I don't see why they uglified it.

Accord coupe = lame. Why would you buy such a large vehicle in coupe form, when it's the same size and weight as the sedan, but with less rear headroom? Not like it looks nice. It's misproportioned!

 

[Fenixgoon]

hmmmm i dont like this very much.. some accords are dead sexy, while others are just "meh"

Um - what if you don't need 2 extra doors, and only carry passengers on rare occasion?

IIRC, it's getting a little bigger too. The rear and was the biggest complaint when the new Accord came out - everyone said it suffered from droopy ass. With sales of the Accord slipping, Honda doens't need people to dislike the car right now

Reminds me a bit of the older Preludes, actually...from the back end...the front end is all new style, no doubt.
