I already think the new Accord is pretty good looking. But this is alot better! Of course we won’t be getting this one exactly.

^^yeah, the only thing that kept me from buying an accord was the FWD…crocodile skin? run out of cows?

THE words “chintz” “bling” “gangsta rapper” “pimp” and “disgusting” all spring to my mind. They came up with a perfectly good design, then stuck chrome, crocodile skin and bling wheels all over it. UGH. Makes me want to vomit.

Dear God!!!! I cannot believe anyone thinks this horrid design is attractive … didn’t the Transformers movie have room for one more mutant?

That front end looks like one of Mike Tyson’s earlier opponents, after getting mauled.

Yay, its an Accord for the Japanese market. So what?

Positives: It doesn’t look that boring and its good they are not trying to sell it as an Acura for double the money

I think honda is using the old pontiac style language, meaning a bunch of **** going on for no apparent reason. I totally agree with the transformer reference.

Nice Honda
Positives It looks better than any GM

Then again thats not saying much Its competition is Toyota, america doesnt count

can’t see the photos for some reason…

The front is rather messy and bitsy. Its not a clean, cohesive design. Love the irony of the name

from every angle, it looks like a box with a red x inside.. oh, wait, the pics aren’t working. My guess is the box with the x is the preferable design!

Pretty aggressive design for Honda.

If you seriously think that it looks better than ANY GM, you have absolutely no taste.

I know what it is. I just can’t figure out if it’s an autobot or a decepticon.. any ideas?

Anyway I just ran into a few crocs that are running around with bare-backs, pissed off as hell. One word. RICE!!!!!!!!

The Modulo kits have always been the one with more taste than the usual asian punk kid look of Mugen. When seen in a complete package they look quite nice though I’ve always been against bodykits that don’t do much to real world performance. I’d imagine this to be popular in Asia. US spec Hondas have always been sold with less features and accessories as their jap counterparts. There’s no point in pimping a US Honda.

Am I the only one who thinks the grill would be better suited to their SUVs/trucks?

Wow, 0 for 2. This is almost as bad as the Civic in the last thread. What a terrible front fascia tack-on.

The new Accord is a design disaster and this monstrocity just adds to it.
Someones been smacking Honda designers over the head with an ugly stick.
Honda’s at least used to be classy looking.

Looks like ****.

Obviously we coming on another thread of racism and arrogance. Taste is individual quality and I believe that not many rednecks will admire either Vermeer or Cezanne. Heck they even don’t know what I am writing about. Admittedly they do have sense of taste, albeit probably not the same as mine.
The staff of NY Times dedicated to automotive news consist of 3 writers. They composed lists of their favorite cars. There was only one car present on all 3 lists: new Honda Accord. It is continuously present on Car and Driver 10 best cars (year after year) and Road and Truck as well as Automobile etc. Perhaps automotive journalists don’t know what they are writing about, but many contributors to this forum do. Delusional grandeur meets 21st century on our little blog.
There is not a body kit that could make ugly car look good. The only reason Inspire looks good is because our Accord (Inspire everywhere in the world) looks good. Japan has the same version of Accord as Europe (our Acura TSX).

As mentioned, all I see is a lot of boxes X’ed out … and thank the Lord for that … this piece of **** battles against Ladas in the aesthetics department.

I will laugh at every loser driving this garbage.

To all who think this abomination of an already lackluster design is actually good…….
your insane. This thing takes an ok at best car and adds all types of fragile and pinched surface executions to it. One question Honda, Why?
The Accord is a car for the masses. Why would you go and ruin it by making it look like something from the twisted brain of H.R.Geiger? This as well as that Civic destruction listed on this site.
Honda is a simple brand, simple moto and simple executions and oh yea simple designs. you guys should really keep it that way.

The salon to be held in Japan for Japanese market. The car looks familiar as US destined Accord, but it is not a mass seller in Japan (and Europe) as it is in US. Perhaps Honda aware of markets needs of Japan?

That thing looks like it’s been smashed into a wall. It does!

driven007, man it does look like Giger’s Alien…

Looks better than the new heap o’ **** Honda Accorpse that honda inflicted on us. Of course that’s the equivalent of saying 1115 seems semi-intelligent when compared to a dead ****roach.

Ricardo, I though you are taking little R&R and should be in a better mood afterwards. You start where you left off with tirades against 1115 & Honda. BTW it is the same Accord as we have it statewide, a bit more pronounced grille thats all.

Who could wish for anything more?

That thing must be really UGLY… my computer still hasn’t been able to load up the pictures… a car so ugly it makes my monitor scared, wow!

Heck I just wonder why 11105 has to put anti-GM posts on a Honda article?

Its 1115 and its bc Gm has the audacity to actually think that their cars can compete with the proven Japanese
GM is attempting to fool the American public and by the looks of the idiots on this board its working
They have to prove their cars can go the long haul with little to no problems just like the Japanese and then they can be in consideration when a consumer is shopping for a new car

Oh my rice again! I’m having the same problems with the pics. My computer is probably saving me from having to flush my eyes for 15 mins with water.

I can’t see the pics either. Haven’t been able to the entire time.

Abomination!
Stick to building nice appliances for my mom. Souping up washing machines is not cool anytime, anywhere. Lower this until their are sparks coming from under it put 28″ wheels with colored tread and 300 # of fiberglass wings and bondo. Even with a money and environement be damned paint job it looks like **** to anyone over the age of 13.

Actually you know what to be fair, the new Accord has perfect crash test ratings, better than the Altima and the new Camry, and even better than some premium sedans in the market. The 3.5 coupe would would make a nice gift for your college kid. It’s cheap enough but has everything he wants and everything you want (safety).

Nose looks good, but the new accord is a good-looking car, so no surprise. Can’t see the rest.

Crocodile-skin inserts? No that’s pimpin’!

Syrax: the only thing that would keep me from buying an accord is every other midsizer, save Camry.

hateful83: “I think Honda is using the old Pontiac style language, meaning a bunch of **** going on for no apparent reason.” Man, I hated all that garish ****! Just give it more power.

1c3d0g: “Pretty aggressive design for Honda.” True.
