Honda Car Forum

Go to Worldcarfans.com and checkout the pics of the new '08-'09 honda accord, the coupe is hott, but does anyone else think the sedan looks just like a kia optima? thats honda, i guess "dont mess with success" but it is sooooo conservative and boooring!!

Honda designers say they were trying to go retro without going too far, bringing back some of the joy Honda owners felt driving their late 80's machines. I don't think they pulled it off well, either. They really don't harken to the 80's and they aren't very easy on the eye.

It reminds me of the Dodge Charger, Magnum, 300C where the hood is so huge and unsightly.I think Honda needs to hire some new engineers, their styling cue has been less than impressive the last 2 generations of Accords.

I think that the Ford Taurus was number one in sales from 1992 or 1993 to 1995 and despite many improvements the radically re-designed 1996 Taurus was a flop (still good for sales but a flop in comparison to what it replaced. Ever since the king of the middle-large sized sedan category has been terrified of polarizing anyone with a radical design.I'm not a huge fan of either coupe or sedan - they aren't bad though, I think that they took many styling cues from the Camry and Mazda 6 and combined them. The Nissan Altima would appear to be lightyears ahead in appearance.

OMG! This is too weird. Today, I called my dealer to inquire about the 2008 Accord. They told me that Honda hasn't put out any medias yet. He told me off some website that sounded like vtechspy.com - I cant remember. Anyhow, as for the cars in the photos......I love them. I currently own teh 2007 Accord and can't wait to trade in for this model instead. It's a great looking car.Thank you for that website. Nothing beats Honda!
