Talking No I am not high...I like the Honda ad I just saw

Basically it shows the Accord coupe, which is BY FAR the best looking vehicle they make (Honda or Acura) and the voice in the background says something like "reliability is not sexy, MPG is not sexy" but like its good for some people....that seemed to be the general message. I thought it was great and it helps to see a good looking Honda for a change. Its something I've argued so many times that quality, reliability, MPG, comfy are great attributes and not ever car/brand needs to be selling Ferrari GTOs.

Good ad to me.

While I agree that the Accord coupe is the only car in the Honda lineup I would even consider purchasing, I still would never buy one. So sad.

I bought the Accord coupe in November. I think it's a beautiful looking car; best looking "affordable" car out there under 30k.

My GF has the accord, I THINK IT'S OKAY! Not nice but not ugly. I like the last generation better where the shape was more round and sexier!

Her car has some problems and the center console looks like a spaceship control center from star track! If I bought a Honda I buy the civic just to save gas!

Interesting thread. I parked next to a new Accord Coupe the other day but thought it was a truck when I saw the front end. It was waaaay too tall and blocky up front to be anything sporty. The new concept doesn't look any sleeker.
This is not a bad car per se, but the chunky styling, stingy Honda options/colors, and lack of manual shifting for the automatic is enough for me to think Honda's arrogance is still holding them back.

Same here. Last time I tried to PM you, Mike, your PM box was full.

I agree with you, BTW, that it is a good ad. But it better be a good ad. For the price, IMO, the Accord is a darn good mid-sized car, though there's too much plastic in the interior now, just like with a lot of cars.
