Honda has been lifting Audi design ques for years, so why stop now.

But, is'nt funny how quick this new Accord is coming out?...just goes to show ripping ideas bores those in charge.

not true. The current gen CR-V's rear-end and last gen Civic rear-end design is lifted from Volvo.

Eh, I'll admit a little audi in the tailights- but it still looks major sweet! Hopefully they don't mess with it too much when it comes to the production model!

Blatant copy of the side character line on the A6 and upcoming A5 coupe. The tail lights from a B6 A4 are pretty obvious. You know what they say about imitation........

I hope this future Accord coupe turns out well. The current one isn't as visually appealing as its predeccesor.

I actually think to the contrary. I think the current one is athletic and aerodynamic, whereas the previous model offered generic, blocky styling.

To each his own.

It looks like Audi tail lamps and BMW's Bangle side scallops. Boy some Jap companies really copy everything Euro. At least Mazda tries to be its own identity.

What the hell? You just like Mazda because Ford has the largest stock of Mazda. You're biased and you know it! IF ANYTHING, the american companies are starting to copy Japanese like designs...so if the Japanese companies are copying European companies then you have to say that American companies are copying japanese designs.

I seriously doubt it will look like that. Great concept though

if you look at the new Honda Civic tail lights, it is similar to Audi's but who was the copycat here? it is hard to say b/c both the civic and Audi cars were released about the same time.

not true. Audi A4 was released since 2004. Honda Civic was released as a 2006 model in late 2005.

Looks very Audi.

It's like they combine the last gen A4 and the R8 styling in one.

I like it a lot. Honda needs to stop being so conservative about their styling.
