Looks good. Let's just hope the final product is not going to be remotely dissimilar from this concept.

Accords are lame any ways so who cares. As far as this "concept" goes, it's a pathetic attempt at best.

First time I've seen a refresh called a concept. Can't believe it. I personally think the current Accord coupe is a fine looking car, by far the best looking vehicle, almost like a 3rd gen TL coupe. It looks great. I find this looks fussy and its like they were crazy at Pep Boys. The current coupe is one of the better looking cars from any brand.

It seems this Accord coupe keeps the older platform and the new Sedan will get smaller and merge with the Euro Accord. No more two Accord sedans.

Don't forget the Kia took the old Honda/Acura/Solara front end. Honda/Acura has used it for sometime.

The current Accord coupe is the only current Honda that's somewhat interesting to look at. At least they didn't fudge up the styling. But that front end bling wtf..

Interesting read on the press release. Accord coupe will essentially be the same dimensionally, while the sedan gets shorter and smaller! Um, so essentially the USDM accord sedan will be based in the shorter Euro spec chassis, which was previously used on the TSX, which is now replaced by the ILX, which is based on the Civic. WTF is with Honda product planning these days?!!

Nothing special here. Looks like the current model and breaks no new ground.

Now here's a thought. See if you agree or disagree. I'm in the middle...

"The question is this: How long can Honda and Toyota survive on their name alone and souly produce mundane or bland cars? Average, conservative cars have worked well for society, but with the bar constantly being raised by so many other manufacturers (Ford, Hyundai, Kia), the average conservative citizen actually has a choice and temptation to step up and away from his/her traditional purchase. I hope for Honda and Toyota's sake, a decent chunk of people continue hating cars, because without them, they don't have much other reason to exist."

Pointless concept. I really want Honda to fail right now.
