Wow... that's... ugly. I'm all about modern and sporty, but that looks like they went to a pick-n-pull, collected random parts, and bolted them onto a car.

Honda is going along the design concept of other AGGRESSIVE, MASCULINE style cars... It's like the sedans are trying to be muscle cars....

I think it's fair, at best. Seems that some lines want to flow one way, and others have a mind of their own. Not slamming Honda, and if they were the same price as Hyundai, I'd definitely would have taken a look at one.

Jason Fogelson said the Sonata was generic, this car is too much trying to be a wanna be BMW, i cannot wait until he has something to say about the Accord, one good thing about the sonata it uses a timing chain in the engine instead of Honda timing belt in 3.0-3.5 V6 engines.

The engine is good and so far I like the looks but in a couple of months everyone its going to be tired of seeing these over and over again. That Is why I love my Sonata its not as common as this Accord lol

Somewhere, out there, there is a horribly abused ugly stick.

So this is what happens when a Sonata, a Chrysler Sebring, and a Dodge Avenger get drunk and have a threesome. (IMG:http://www.unity.i8i.co.uk/forum/images/smiley_vomit.gif)

I just sold my 98 Accord EX V6 with 283,000 miles on it. Was waiting to see what the new Acc would look like. I HATE IT!! Just because the European market requires pedestrian safe cars doesn't mean they have to be this ugly.

I bought a new Infiniti G35.

I sat in the 2008 ACCORD LXP AT, the cloth felt like my 1998 Hyundai Sonata, it was vey cheap, plus the hood and trunk did not have gas struts, the 2008 accord will not make trade my Hyundai Sonata in for a Honda Accord, my cars is still years ahead the, Accord talking about the lack of refinment in materials on the vehicle it is not worth 22,000.

Sonata up front, Saturn ION in the back. Ugh! Nothing really flows with this car... I haven't looked at any up close but from a distance it really isn't all that impressive.

I dunno what all the fuss is about when it comes to the Camcords, to me they get even less attractive with each development cycle. I'd much rather have the Sonata...
