wow if they didnt take that C-pillar off a 911…

ah man, right after I’d decided to put my money on the Altima coupe!!

This is going to look really nice. Suspect it will be out in the fall.

This could get interesting… Please Honda, keep the V6 with the 6-speed available with the new model. It is an absolute hoot to drive.

Broken…agree completely. Bet it will have around 260 ponies. Granted, I’ll probably get the EX-V6 Navi, but with the AT because of my daily commute. My left leg is getting HUGE from pushing in the clutch for an hour a day.
Probably be around $30K fully loaded.

The Navi is great isn’t it? Love the voice activation on the new Acura models and hopefully Honda carries it over to the Accord (Probably will) Would like to see a Skyroof option with the next car as well. Those big quad exhaust tips are sexy.

any front picture? Ill like to see the front cause honda have a way of make one part look good and the other all screw up

this is a concept car. it is not getting produced, if you didn’t know what a concept car is. by the time honda produces it they will make it look boring like the rest of the cars they produce. acura is the only ones that look ok from honda. hondas are good cars if you don’t care what it looks like. their new crv front end is terrible.

I think the new civic looks good

the fit is hot.

GM could have said it better, but Honda does have a habit of promising big revelutionary changes and then coming out with somewhat safe styling. The Odyssey is the most recent example. All great cars, but not exactly risky with design.

Love those Beemer rims.

i’m really excited, especially after seeing yhe Remix, Stepvan, and Advanced Sedan concepts…………..sarcasm

It would be nice if they started making cars with slim A and C pillars. Ever seen a 1960s GTV or 2002? It’s almost as if they don’t have pillars; visibility is mucho better.

The S2000 is far from boring… And the V6 Accord with a stick is quite entertaining. Oh and I second the Civic as the Si in both coupe and sedan form is quite spirited without being too “boy racer”.

I’ll admit that I’m biased since I still love my 03 EX-V6 coupe…but I like what I see. I’ll reserve judgement until I see actual pics. Atleast Honda’s latest “concept” exterior’s have held mostly true to form lately. Unfortunately with gas prices the way they are and possibly having kids within the timeframe of my next car purchase I’ll probably be going with a 4-cylinder EX-L w/ navi. Here’s to hoping the sedan’s rear will be just as sharp looking.

I agree with brokencaddilac I own a 05 s2000 and believe me its a headturner

now thats good looking car right there i dont care who you are way better then the old one

MikeFX, what bout the the Civic? That one was rather risky with its new design.

I wonder if the sketch is of the North American only Accord (made fat-assed for fat-assed North Americans) or if it is the Accord that the rest of the world gets?

That is slick. I’m looking forward to the production version.

I’m pretty sure the Coupe version is only sold in North America.

It’s still $25k-$30,000 for a front wheel drive “sport”. Moving on.

yeah its too bad nissan beat them to the punch

NO coupe is sold more in other countries than here. But it looks different. I think that your all honda lovers in here so your really going to hate me. I hope that Honda brings back there reliablilty than worriing about what its going to look like. That and every three years you see a new accord.
to much money for the crap your buying now.
Huydai has better relibality.

Nissan beat Honda to the punch? Are you mad? Honda has been selling an Accord coupe since at least 1989!

Honda has never claimed that the Accord coupe is a “sport” vehicle. It’s a very pleasant touring/daily driving car. Is there are a problem with that? I’ve owned a couple of Accord coupes and every single one was excellent with very few problems (all of which are covered under warranty anyhow.) I was never a big fan of the current version, but it was still on my short list because it’s a great vehicle. It’s pretty clear that this “concept” car will be very, very close to the production model come next fall.

It would be nice without altezza tail lights and if it was RWD

When it finally comes out and is as boring as a NASCAR race with no crashes I’m going to look back at this concept and shake my head in disappointment. Honda can produce some good cars (ala S2K & Civic Si) but most of their cars never really live up to the concept hype. I’d be happily surprised if this turned out any different.

For the love of torque steer, can you please make this thing rear wheel drive? If it’s FWD then the G35 and 350Z will be laughing all the way to the finish line. Again.

This car does not compete with the G35 and 350Z. The Accord will never be RWD. Man, why do we get the same comments on every article?

And isn’t Hyundai rated the BEST reliability? So why pick on Honda? Maybe BMW should worry about reliability…

We’ve already discussed this…the G35 and 350Z are NOT competitors for the Accord coupe, or Altima coupe. There won’t be cross-shopping between the Accord and G35/350Z. None.

the teaser pix looks sick but it wont look like that

With the competition out there, they should step up to the plate and compete… Either RWD or AWD… They could make a car that really dominates if they didn’t stick with FWD on this one. How about that turbo and AWD from the RDX??

Yall cant take Honda…..trust it will sell

honda had great cars NSX PRELUDE S2000 SI TYPE R great engines so i guess they could desing a sporty car like the new civic

That’s my point, the Accord won’t compete with the G35 and 350Z and WHY THE !#$!@ NOT? Why can’t Honda throw enthusiasts a bone and give us a rear wheel drive sport coupe to give the Nissan boys a run for their money? The S2000 is a great little car, with emphasis on little. I’d love a nice coupe from Honda with a powerful V6, 6 speed manual and rear wheel drive.

now all they need is for it to be in RWD or SH-AWD

Honda has no incentive to make a rwd Accord. The car sells well and with Honda Just in Time manufacturing dealersip inventories stay low. Honda is not begging buyers to take their cars so why invest in a different platform to sell the same amount of cars? Personally I wish that hHonda/Acura were RWD too but it doesnt make business sense for them too change.

Let’s see more before we get too opinionated.

it totally makes business sense for them to change to RWD or AWD… part of running a business is foreseeing the future… The industry is moving away from FWD… Yes FWD is still nice for some commuter cars like sentras, corollas, civics…etc, but if they want to compete they need to change…

It’s disheartening to me that since the Accord will never be RWD, a few LeftLaneNews Honda enthusiasts will not have what would be the car of their dreams. Other than that, I’m pretty sure the Accord is competing just fine.

Right on, Egbert Souse, Sampson.

Pirelli, you just have to wait for the NSX replacement then. As for the switch to RWD, it’s a moot point. As long as the best selling sedan, the Camry, is still FWD and still outsells everything else, FWD is here to stay. Blame the Camry, not the Accord that’s only following the gold trail. Now, the rest of the Acura lines should be RWD or AWD, there’s no excuse there.

take that camry!!!!

Hey Don, if you’re still reading this thread, you’re right about the new Civic. Very radical departure from the norm, and even caused Toyota to go back to the drawing board with it’s new Corolla. Good call!

A rear drive coupe to sell along side the Accord would be the best of both worlds. But this concept drawing looks badass.

Love it!

This drawing looks badass… V6 and manual would do the trick… Unfortunately the conservative side of Honda will kick in and tame it. I hope they keep it close to this.

Look at those exhaust tips. And that dash-to-axle ratio. Dare I think Honda is giving more thought to RWD?

Looks like new Celica, isn’t it???
