From the pictures, I'm not a fan of the coupe, but as far as sedans go, the Accord 4 door looks just fine to me.

As I saw more and more pictures of the sedan from different angles, I realized that the car itself was going to look much better than any single picture could represent. And yes, I think it looks better than a Camry. It's not as artful and unique as the Altima, which I consider to be a very nice looking sedan, but it's an Accord, and it's going to prove to be the best Accord yet, IMHO. Honda did just fine for themselves.

Am I the only one that thinks the back looks really fugly? The front is fine I guess (although looks a bit boring with just one long curved front)...

Inside looks nice, but why do they like those huge knobs for controls always. I like digital controls especially for air conditioning, not those big knobs that protude out.

Price wise is alright. More expensive than a Camry no?

Eh oh well, tastes are all relative.

the rear looks fat. the front is rather altima-ish with the triangular lightes.

i dont mind the front end to much, looks better in these pictures than others i've seen. the back end though, just way to fat and rounded.

the car has become way to bland, and lost some of hte sleekness it had with previous generations.

OMG, it's hideous from the rear!!! :Q
Looks like a saturn.

And the front's not all that good looking either. Looks like a mix between the current altima, accord, civic and CL all mixed up in the bunch, except fuglier. Especially the Honda emblem on the grille extended below the rest... looks like a beavers front teeth.

I have no problem with the rear, but the front....wtheck did they do with the front???
The interior looks nice though. Will probably have to test drive it, at least the 5sp Coupe V6.

they should take design cues from their history... i swear, the '99 TL and the last legend were two of the best looking sedans ever.

Fine, fine. I'm still not used to relate manual with 6sp instead of 5 :p

Agreed....also, the '94-'97 Accords looked pretty nice too....they still look nice after all these years.
