Is This an Uncloaked 2008 Honda Accord?

Yes.

I love it. Has more than a little 5 series in it.

not bad, the headlites look a bit stretched out though.

I cant help but feel Honda has run out of designs and just meshed together a bunch of other brands. I see a little Infiniti, a little Hyndia, and some other stuff. I dont think it looks bad and I am a Honda fan, i guess i am just a bit surprised.

Dude...I hate to admit it but I agree with you. I see some Camry, some 5 series, some Altima and even a little Saturn Aura thrown in around the tailights. It looks good and they're gonna sell a boat load of them but it is a bunch of different designs all mashed up into one.
T

i was too thinking tht as well, the tailites are tht of a stretched aura. well I hope it wont have quality flaws or as cheap as the aura.

Stretched out? Kinda like a Russian whore's you know what?

why does it have to be a russian whores? what there are no other nationalities you can talk about.

Hey, I love russian girls. They make good love to me for a very reasonable prices.

PIZDA = Your Mom????

I dont know... Looks very toyotaish to me.

It looks way to much like a Hyundai.

Yeah, the Sonata copies the current pre-facelift Accord, and this one returned the favor.

Yes, that is exactly what I thought. The head lights and the tail lights definitely remind of a Sonata. Also I think it kind of resembles the 5 series as well.

For what purpose this car serves, it will do well. After several months, Honda will own these styling ques, and most people will think the other vehicles are copies.

Not an empressive exterior + ugly interior = bad design. But it will still get sold of course because of what it is, a Honda.

Hey Hyundai bit them when they released the current sonata. You know what they say can't beat them join them.

LexusAdmirer,we all know that the 08 Accord won't have
any engine problem.i sell both honda and toyota,for honda buyers i told them Honda tranny is over,i show thwm the report where honda solved the 99 to 01 6cyl vehicles,i wish i could do the same for Toyota,they have the engine slugde problem for more than 10 years.

coupe looks great
better than Altima Coupe

I like the coupe, the sedan looks too much like the other brands mentioned. But since its a Honda it'll still sell great.

..."Oh wow, is that an Altima? No wait, Camry?
No, its a big bucket of vanilla ice cream."
-ROTFLMAO!!!

Another one: ..."Chris Bangle goes to Japan" -LOL!!!

I think, "Stunningly unoriginal. And yet, difficult to object to." best says it...

I hate to admit this but the current Accord that I hate so much because it looks like the back was choped off, looks better than this. I just hope Acura has no part in this when designing the next Acura TL.

well, i agree with tht too, but the current one is my favorite accords of all, as well as our 89 accord with the flip-up lites. but the current one is the best looking IMHO, to me the back certainly looks nice w/ those LED lites, tht makes the accord well put.

The coupe looks nice. The sedan is not bad either.

Talk about over-styled!

Such a heavy-handed approach does this new Accord no favours, in fact it reminds me of those cardboard cars you make up yourself, akward and disproportional.

It looks quite ugly, put simply.

It's hard to get the big picture when you are staring it through a monitor on a blurry pictures you idiot. How the heck do you get all that crap just by looking at it on a monitor? I've seen people like you, but I had to pay admission! Matthew.
You spew wayeeeee too much trash Matthew the door knob...Let's play house. You be the door and I'll slam you.

Better than any Lexus........Honda a true Jap car with racing pedigree, lexus can any dream of........

Hyundai influence? Not too bad, but looks off...

It looks fine to me.

from the profile its a total 5 series clone. say waht you will about BMW design, atleast they have some sort of design language. it's like the first time i saw the scion tC, a total mash up of every popular car.

Anyone else besides me notice how the Lexus LS460 and the Pontiac Grand Prix look alike?

who even BOTHERS to look at pontiacs?

Not very distinct nor fully integrated, but the interior will probably be much nicer than the Camry. Accord will continue to sell well and have strong residuals.

why is it EVERY car that uses the so-called Hofmeister kink now "looks like a 5-series?" it's not as if bmw INVENTED that c-pillar design. it existed in toyota coupes of the early 1970s.

further, why DO so many makes feel they must adopt this design, or a variation of it? imho, it is just a FAD, and one that will soon pass.

worse of all, however, are the variations that are AWKWARD. as on some nissans and saturns, vibe and '07 matrix. the only thing WORSE than mimicking the latest fad is doing an UGLY, AWKWARD variation of it!

that said, the profile of the coupe looks good, as most honda coupes generally do.

the c-pillar on the sedan is just "meh..."

Well just like everyone else has stated....the sedan is Blah.... the coupe looks good.... Another hit for Honda! LOL!

Looks good but will it have a DOHC engine or will Honda try to save money again with a SOHC? I'm waiting to see if Honda has come up with a comfy interior for this car.

The rear end on the coupe from a glance reminds me of the Toyota Solara rear.

All these cars look alike to me now!

Looks like a bad imitation of a Hyundai Sonata in the front.

Being a longtime Honda fan (I've owned 9), I am very disappointed in the sedan. It looks too much like a recycled Acura RL mixed up with a Saturn Aura. The coupe, I like a lot. Too bad it reminds me of the Solara. I had a 2003 Accord V6 coupe and I loved that car. I plan to test drive the 2008 V6 coupe the day its available and buy either a leftover 2007 V6 coupe or the new 2008. It all depends on the interior and the inevitable new features.

Let's get things straight:

Honda didn't copy Hyundai - take a look at the 1998-2002 Accord - Hyundai Sonata ripped off the Accord big time! Tail lights especially.

Technically, if you looked hard enough at any car you could find traces of any other car... Tail lights come in 4 shapes, circluar, square, rectangular, oval - headlight, taillight, sidemarkers have to be a certain colour to follow transportation guidelines.

Honda, and the Accord in particular, have a good thing going - they don't need to be radical and come out with earth shattering designs to wow consumers. I'd say this design is quite tame and they'll sell a sh!tload.
