Seems to look more TL like, nicer than the current one for sure, which is possibly the worst looking Accord ever IMHO.

IMO I think it looks horrible. Like an enlarged Civic. But its only a CGI.




EDIT: I guess this is the car they based the CGI on. Honda FCX Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle. The actual concept looks cool, but I'm not feeling the CGI.

Word!! The concept looks ill. Whereas that Accord CGI is kinda wack.

I agree. I personally think the civic is fugly. I like smooth lines and body flow, but with the van like short hood and super long cabin, it jsuit looks out of porportion. Not feeling the whole Honda design team's ideas. If they want beautiful, takea page from the Lexus GS/IS.

The hondas just lack any sort of personality and look rediculous, like a toy. Give me back my porportions. Hood as long as trunk dosnet do anything for me.

If I wanted a stretched VW beetle(also blindingly fugly), I'd buy a beetle and take it to a limo company to stretch it out for me. I much prefer 1996-2000 and 2001-2005 civics more.

I'm with magneto and Edison. Way too much like the new Civic, which is a good car but just too fugly.

What is it with today's auto syling that everything has to look like jelly beans, humpback whales, teardrop shapes, and sweep-up and sweep-back features? What ever happened to nice rectangular and squared-off shapes and designs ? ( Of course you have the Scion xB and Honda Element, but they are TOO extreme...they look like shoe-boxes. ).

I agree Lex the rear looks like a TL and the front looks like a larger Civic front end.. It Looks pretty good.. Hopefully the HP will be equivalent to a TL at least..

I am sure it will be like most Hondas, ugly as hell. I am sure though, the interior will be top notch and it will drive solid and continue to be a 10 best winner and best seller.

I think it looks really nice, but i dont think it will appeal to many because it seems to be a Civic copier... I mean who would want their $22,000 mid-size car to look like a $14,000ish small car.

But other than that, i think it looks beautiful
