While making my way around the 2013 New York Auto Show, I knew there were two booths I was destined to stop by. Acura and Honda.
Though everyone seems to think I hate the brand(s), I don't. I can't stress that enough. BUT when you see management making one wrong move after another, you have to say
something. Oh, and when the BIG announcement is a vacuum hook-up, you really just have to put your head in your hands.
You know, I know some of you won't believe me but I actually really dig the updated Honda Accord sedan. To me, it seems to evoke a look that's far more luxury than the reality of its mid-size sedan territory. Its interior has a similar dual-screen setup that plagues Acura dealers trying to pitch the all-new RLX and I dig the new LEDs the Accord boasts. If you've seen one on the road at twilight with the LEDs going, you know it makes a statement on the road.
Now at the New York show though, front and center was the all-new Accord plug-in hybrid. Well, Honda has to have something to go toe-to-toe with the Ford Fusion plug-in, right? In order to differentiate the plug-in from the standard car though it had to make some adjustments. New wheels, a tacky "hybrid" badge on the plug-in door, and an all-new facial treatment.
But WOW that is one...interesting...looking design, huh?
I'll stop there. That's because I want YOU to weigh in:
Is the new Honda Accord's face treatment BETTER or WORSE than the world famous Acura "Beak?"AutoSpies.com is ranked #1 on Google for auto show photos!2013 New York Auto Show Photo Gallery
