2008 Honda Accord without camo

Here's the link. The first thought that popped into my head was "Hyundai" but I also see a bit of BMW influence. IMO Honda is losing design direction. That being said, it'll still sell.

Uglier than the previous version and honestly looking an awful lot like the new Camry (not a good thing btw). I agree though, it'll sell because it's a Honda.

OK, to be fair, that's a HUGE improvement over the outgoing car - not nearly as bland. Not perfect, but a definite improvement. In fact, I can see some Acura RL styling cues in there.

And you're right, it WILL sell...and sell well.

I don't if I'd use the word "huge" but it most certainly isn't as bland.

Well, put it this way: I still wouldn't buy one.

But at least now I won't feel my partially digested meal rising up into my throat every time I see one on the road.

Toy and Honda are really starting to show their fear of Hyundai.

I'll be happier when they begin showing their fear of Ford and GM.

I'll be thrilled when Ford gives them something to be scared about. The F-series and Mustang will only take you so far.

I like the coupe. Never have liked the sedan, and don't think I will. It's looking less and less like a Honda. Which=a great design direction in my opinion.

Oh man, I love the mean looking, glaring headlight look. Besides that, the car is a snooze fest.
