Honda Sports 4 Concept Busts Out

Honda has put its Sports 4 concept on display at the Australian International Motor Show here, hinting at the future look of Honda sport sedans.

The concept appears to be a strong indicator of what the next-generation European-market Accord will look like. It is notable for a low-slung body and an ultramodern cockpit featuring a blend of metal, wood and leather.

The Sports 4 is a four-passenger vehicle with four individual bucket seats and personal "skyroofs" that each passenger can control separately from seat-mounted controls. Mechanically, the concept has all-wheel drive and a five-speed sequential automatic transmission.

headlights resemble the MDX, which in no way is a bad thing. honda / acura have had great new vehicle designs.

I agree. Should also be super-handling AWD, not sure if they are also using the RDX turbo motor or if it will stay normally aspirated.

This is a fuel-cell powered show car.

Never mind that last comment- I saw an article with the next-gen Honda FCX in Autoweek, which looked a lot like this, but it was a different car. In the same weird maroon color!

Stunning,but this is an old Concept.Many sources say this is the concept version of the new Accord/TL.

If this car makes it to market and it is AWD, then I think we may see some decent power behind it.

(MDX's 3.7 V6 300hp???)

Golfer-they might use the turbocharged 4 in the base model, but the current Accord V6 offers 240 horses...so I think the next gen will have 300.

That V6 would make a lot of sense. However, a 300hp TL would make the RL pretty much obsolete, especially if it had AWD. There's barely any noticeable size difference between the two.
