I think those latest pics posted by 1Sick are very bold for an Accord. I think it looks better than the Altima Coupe that I somewhat praised. I think that is pretty darn good for an Accord. I hope it looks like that when it comes out. One major complaint I have is those stupid exhausts that everyone is putting on their concept cars. What the heck is up with all these crazy exhausts designs coming out lately?

I think this looks pretty damn good! I think that front end might be changed some, I think it might preview the SEDAN than the coupe.

Thank god no BANGLE trunk!
The Altima coupe is a knock-off G35 coupe. Period. This Accord coupe kills the Altma Coupe.

It's a concept and nothing more.

It looks really, really close to production (as the last page pointed out with Honda and their concepts) but that front really has to go.

Looks like a Chrysler. I'm not feeling this car at all. Especially dislike the big Honda badge.

Man, I think Honda needs to fire some designers fast. The current coupe looks better then this. It lacks the low slung look that draws you more to coupes then sedans and is too high. It looks like a cross between a Volvo S40 and the new Hyundia Sonota just with 2 doors. What happend to that good looking 4 door concept they had a year ago, that they could have barrowed some design cues from. This is the second dissapointment from Honda today with the first being the non exotic looking front engine NSX replacement and now this crappy looking Accord coupe that looks very close to being production ready. At least the NSX replacement is decent looking just a dissappointment to NSX fans where this new coupe is a plain and uninspiring as they come. Hopefully it will have a nice interior but doubtful it will be nice enough to overcome the bad exterior. Honda is letting down alot of their fans with these new designs and needs some better talent.

Looks good overall. The front and rear look kinda weird but it still looks good

I think its a big upgrade from the previous gen. The front reminds me of the new alfa rom though. Im digging the rear and the lines on the car.

What are you all smoking? That's one ugly car any way you cut it. Extremely poor design direction. It looks like a Hyundai Tiburon, except the Tiburon actually looks better.
