Default 8th Gen Accord Coupe HERE! -300hp V6?

I don't know if this is a repost. Forgive if it is. I searched but didn't see another post.

Behold! The 8th gen (concept) coupe is here!

IMO its better then the previous. The Front looks good but that back end isn't the best.

FINALLY HONDA! THANK-YOU! I love it! They brought back the small long rectangular headlights that belongs on an Accord. I like it. The back I love it. but the front could use more roundness. looks like a front of the ridgeline. I like ridgeline, but this is not a truck. I really like the side view. But the back could be a little sharper.

Personally, I like it. The front end is nice, maybe wish it werent as big, make it look a little more aerodynamic... however I love the side views and the rear end looks nice to me. I would like to see Honda venture a little more into rear or all-wheel drive :-p but hey, its an Accord, and it gets my thumbs up!

You gotta remember, alot of people on here In my mind probably are driving their parent's cars or ones their parents bought them. If Honda/Acura is coming out with a 2 door TSX and this redesign I can't imagine it's a good idea. That thing will retail at like what? 30k? Everyone who's posted probably doesn't have that kinda money, the need to be targeting the people that do.

And if you have it and have it because of your parents....don't post.

Also read that they are uping the output of the V6.
"the quad exhaust might be indication of a 300hp V6"

I'm 24, I make 90K a year, I have personally purchased all four of the Hondas I currently own, two new Accords, one used Accord, one used del Sol VTEC, I think it's hot, I'd buy it . . . . and my parents are poor as dirt.

There are young people out here with money and this is EXACTLY what Honda needs to keep us away from the G35.

Looks like a step in the right direction. It should compete well against the Toyota Solara (so long as Honda upped its interior design as well). That front grille is Fugly, though. Credit to who said it, looks like a Ridgeline grille, and in my opinion, it should have never been put on the Ridgeline to begin with, let alone an Accord. But I digress. The tailights . . . I thought we put alteeza-style tailights to death in 1999?

Not saying it's not possible H22, but they HAVE to target the majority audience that'll be pulling those kinds of dollars.

While I'll agree it looks great I'm in the audience that cannot afford it so I really don't feel that my saying "I would buy it" counts for much.

They're eating away at the TSX coupe's sales if they come out with it like that
