Agree, the front end looks like a Kia Optima.

Pretty pathetic Honda now is being reduced to knocking off Korean car makes. Do agree front looks like a kia knock off and the rear looks like a front end of a car, I bet when people see it on the road they will think some granny behind the wheel is driving it in reverse.

Did they really need a concept car for this? I like it, but it looks a lot like the previous model.

Word is that the Accord sedan will shrink a little as far as exterior dimensions go. It's also supposed to merge with the TSX as that is dropped by Acura (replaced by the ISX). Thus there would once again be 1 Accord sold worldwide.

^ ^ ^ because it is the 2006 Accord with a different head/tail lights, grill, wheels, and bumpers. The fact Honda calls it a concept is LAME.

That Kia looks a hell of alot better. Way too much going on with that Accord. Looks like something Pimp My Ride would produce.

Its just a Concept guys... Production version will obviously be toned down greatly.

Thats about the laziest redesign ever. I imagine the production version will look at the same but with smaller wheels.

That is just HORRIBLE design.

Zero cohesiveness overall and many of the details are downright tacky. Kia is a MUCH stronger design.

Yeah, I sort of gave up on Honda a long while back...can't say that this brand (honda/acura) will or even can come back to it's roots and become a "exiting" company again. That pic above is just embarrassing...
