if anything.

the rear end looks pretty tiburonish, with the side body lines being similar to a 3 series coupe.</TD></TR></TABLE>

I see that

Not a bad looking car by any means IMO.

Deinitely Tiburon-esque from the back, and I see new Camry in the front end...

I still like it...

Cut that car in half and you got a new CRX.

I still haven't seen one in person. I wonder what the front end would look like with a different grill.

Sort of reminds me of a modern day version of my brothers 03' CL Type S.

I saw the sedan... it looks like a Sonata met a 5 series and dropped the baby off at Honda's HQ's

The coupe has those horrible FWD coupe proportions... crazy overhang front and back, weird window placement; it always looks perched

Not to mention it's huge. Longer than my dad's M45 easily. Who needs all that room?

Civic Si 4dr FTW!!!!

Not a bad looking car at all, cept the grill does look a little out of place.

Not sayin that, in fact the Civic shouldn't have grown to it's size either... the TSX is the perfect size car, it's not cramped at all but it doesn't have the footprint of a Ridgeline either

Again it's his choice, just givin MO

I would trade my 350Z for a 2008 Accord Sedan in a heart beat. Good choice! I LOVE it!!!

I don't like the coupe though.

^ The Accord is BALLIN

Black leather interior is flawless, not too flashy, but SHARP. VERY roomy, and I could probably live in the rear seat. Outside are some nice if a bit generic radial spoke 17s (then again I have a Fot with 14 inch steel wheels lol), and nice chrome details throughout (window trim). I also like how Honda isnt' covering up the engines wit ha bunch of plastic shrouds and crap. The valve cover is right there.

Pretty much sums it up. I love driving the car too. The ride is soft(ish) and smooth but feels sporty, gotta be that double wishbone suspension. Every chance I get, just got back from them mall, went there to meet my mom so I could drive her car, plus she was buyin me clothes

lol i like both of those so this is OK too

ehh, still think the *** end looks kinda funny, but it seems that all generations of accords get an ***-job done halfway thru the model run

(tail lights on 7th gen when from sagging ***, to better looking, w/o LED's, to finally really good lookin' with LED's)

oh and to the guy that said TSX is perfect size car, 6th gen accord sedan is perfect of me, plenty of room for stuff

there's a lot of 08 accord sedans at the dealership here there's like 3 rows solely for the 08 accords but so far not ne runnin around on the streets yet but there arent any coupes yet. I've been wanting to test drive one ever since I saw the commercial about it have 250-260 sum hp. looks good but it's jus too big for me... Im more of a 6th gen kinda guy too... I like 5th n 6th gens... they're both jus the right in size.

maybe he SWED

accords are baller *** cars, i would daily a S2000, id rather have both an accord and a S2000

but when it comes to practicality, accord wins it if you can only have one car

and oddly enough, the accord has more HP than the S2000


ehhhh, that integral exhaust manifold is kinda the suckzors though
