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.

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).

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.

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.

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

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

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.

By: RicardoHead

RicardoHead — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 21:59:57 +0000

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.

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?

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.

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.

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).

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.

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

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

By: Veda

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.

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!!!!!!!!

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

Pretty aggressive design for Honda.

By: zoomzoomr

zoomzoomr — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 01:16:49 +0000

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!

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

Nice Honda
Positives It looks better than any GM

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.

By: Commodore

Commodore — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 23:51:01 +0000

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

By: Impulsive

Impulsive — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 23:00:30 +0000

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.

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.

By: Syrax

Syrax — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 21:59:00 +0000

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