Looks too much like the current car.
2013 Honda Accord Coupe Concept
Looking like a slightly stylized version of the current Accord, the new model is smaller overall and with a lower roofline, although Honda claims it has achieved the same interior space. It’s also a lighter vehicle, although Honda isn’t getting into specifics at this point.
The Accord will be the first model to use Honda’s new powertrains, featuring direct-injection among other technologies. Both a V6 and a new 2.4-liter 4-cylinder will be offered, with a newly developed CVT transmission for the 4-cylinder and a 6-speed automatic for the V6. Honda hasn’t announced specs but says it expects the Accord to deliver class leading fuel economy. Whether it can best the new Fusion’s 26/37-mpg rating will be, however, be tough.
In addition, Honda will offer an Accord plug-in hybrid which will offer three driving modes: electric, gas and gasoline/electric. The system will allow 10 to 15 miles of emissions free driving and let you choose when you want to use that electricity. Honda also promises a charge time of 1.5 hours on a 240 volt charger.
To help deliver improved fuel economy across the range, all Accord models will get Honda’s ECO Assist button

Yes it really does look like a restyling (over styling) of the current gen. Accord. Honda cannot afford to screw this up, they're already dropped a place or two in the race for best selling family sedan having been passed by the Altima, I cannot recall if the Sonata has passed the Accord or not.

The Fog lights are huge - they look like they can fire photon torpedoes. overall, not too bad of a design, could still be better - certain cues are exaggerated to the point of distraction. one thing for certain, it definately looks like a Honda.

I like what I am seeing so far, a sleeker, lower, more aggressive version of the current Accord coupe with more power and better fuel economy. Refining the current one and making it a little smaller, sleeker, and lighter along with other improvements is not such a bad move over a totally new design language.

Foglights ruin the front end, but love the headlights. Rear chrome exhaust housings ruin the rear end, and I'm not in love with those taillights either. Meh, I'll pass....
Might look pretty decent toned down though, we'll see...

That is not a bad thing in my opinion, I think the Optima is the best looking car in its segment although I don't really see too much Optima in this new coupe.
