Default 2009 Honda Accord review

"Honda is preparing a new installment of their medium sedan for 2008. Featuring the new "Keen Edge Dynamics" design, the new Accord will offer a brilliant cocktail of comfort and performance. Following the general lines of the Sports 4 concept car, the 2008 Honda Accord is expected to make a real splash in the sport sedan segment, giving serious headaches to all the Mazda 6s and Alfa 159s out there..."

This is from an exclusive review on the 2009 new Accord model from Honda. You can find info about it's design and performance, history and competition, and also view a photo gallery and artist's impressions.

That doesn't look like a sportscar to me. You want a REAL sportscar look, try a heavily-modded Subaru WRX STi.

yea it suffered because the 7th gen sedan design is ugly as expletive, i think they need to radically alter it for the 8th gen.

The Dec. '06 Motor Trend magazine has a drawing of the '08 Accord which is kind of close to what's depicted above.

The Motor Trend version has pretty much the same front (end isn't shown), large wheels and smallish side windows. Wide stance.

The glass roof isn't shown in Motor Trend, that must be a concept vehicle. Can you imagine having to replace all that glass if a rock puts a small crack on the windshield?

Looks like an Acura RL front, G35 rear, and Civic Si Rims. Wierd looking IMO.

<U>How many times has this been discussed? As noted when they talked about the Alfa in the article you quoted this is a magazine or something from overseas.

It has already been determined that the Sports4 concept is a concept of the World Honda Accord. AKA THE TSX.</U>

that design really doesn't describe what the accord has been all about. It was never meant to be the stylish sporty looking baller's vehicle, that would not be the kind of design that people expect to get from the accord. I don't think that would really make to the market as far as being a honda accord..... maybe if the call it another name or just say it ....all new "acura 3.2 this or that"...

Yeah, they won't ruin Accords like that. That is not the role of an Accord. At least make seperate versions like how the Civic Si is a little more sporty etc..
Damn that car is ugly

<U>We Know It Is a Chop. Most Companies Do Have to Make CAD Drawings and Artist Impressions Before They Start Chopping Metal.

And Thank You SuperSlow, As I Stated Twice Already This is the Next TSX.

I know it has been said that this is not the new look of accords but it will be a sad day if honda ever does decide to do this.
