Looks like a 2009 Merc E-class. How interesting.

 

[lxmmy]

I like the new look of the Accord. Past models have been very 'boring' IMO.

 

[05XR8]

Your Samsung or HTC won't work in this one. Dash look like a Bangle 7-series.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Oh look, new Acc- *falls asleep*

 

[niky]

Not entirely fair... the current model has shed a boatload of ballast for much tighter bodywork... looks sort of like a larger 3-series... this one...

Wow.

Those headlights.

Wow.

Don't care that they haven't changed much else. Those headlights are... wow. The old ones with the dual projecter LEDs were great... this multi-LED array is just geeky.

 

[Legro]

Basically only different things I notice are the new headlights, and the larger chrome trim lines on the grille and between the taillights.

But they're still not going to use it to replace the end of Euro market Accord, like Ford did with the Fusdeo, right.

 

[Lizard]

I think it looks ugly.


I would still consider buying one though if I was looking. Honda usually make solid cars from my experience. And the interior is nice.

 

[Omnis]

Rear lights look way cool. Front lights look... baleen.

Hope they didn't kill the hybrid. If they can upgrade the batteries and the controller and fit an even smaller engine, that would rock.

I hope the front seats go back a little further. Needs like another 3 or 4 inches to match the tall-comfort index of its best competitors.

 

[Smurfybug]

I'm waiting for the 2017, that's the one I get to drive once we give our 2014 in

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ewww.

 

[Connoissuer]

3.5L V6 looks promising.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I like the headlights. Though, why does the Accord have an Acura styled grill?

I thought Honda were the innovators and Acura were just the luxury arm. Now it seems like Honda is "following" Acura with styling.

[Tornado]

Isn't this just the current car with the gimmicky driving lights instead?

Innovators? I always assumed that all they do is make a bunch of main stream cars and call it a day.

Those Acuras must be some very expensive mainstream cars.

"Facelift" model, yeah.

Looks alone, the facelift Altima has it beat IMO.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Those Acuras must be some very expensive mainstream cars.

Possibly, yeah.

 

[Omnis]

That's a brand new interior. They got rid of that stupid dual screen and it actually looks like the new one won't suck.

 

[YSSMAN]

Isn't this just the current car with the gimmicky driving lights instead?

Those look like Acura "Jewel LED" headlights. Like, straight off the TLX and RLX. Both of which are based on the Accord.

So, uh, why buy the Acura, now?

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

It looks pretty nice overall. It certainly is better than what Toyota is giving us even if it's a bit more conservative. The worst part is that piece with the H emblem that looks tacked on.

 

[Ddrizle]

 

[SVX]

Very attractive without the silly headlights in the OP.

 

[Smurfybug]

Wonder how the LX looks.....

 

[TorqueHappenS08]

I don't know, compared to the other hot selling competition metal with killer looks like the Mazda 6, KIA Optima or Hyundai sonata, it just looks pretty uninspiring. it needs a complete redesign in my opinion. it's sorta like what Toyota did with the camry, just stuck on a new front bumper and rear bumper, unlike the aforementioned that have entirely new sheet metal.

A good design should not just come down to different bumpers/lights and wheels.

Now the Inspire concept, may be a glimpse into the 2017 accord for the US market.

I can get behind that 100%.

 

[CodeRedR51]

They wouldn't release an all new design a year after a facelift. That one may be a few years off.

 

[Smurfybug]

I like this design,once we get our 2017 and I get a feel of it, I'll tell ya
