Are you kidding me? In the back, except the shape of the tail lights, there's no difference between these two cars.

No comparison. The Accord Coupe looks WAY better that the
Solara.

me neither. One is all curves, the other is all angles. The only thing even similar is the slope angle of the trunks

Compare these aspects with one another. Other than sharing the same basic shape of a rear end (like 98% of the cars out there), they are nothing similar:

you can circle the top of the trunk too, the solara has a curved trunk lid with a curved spoiler, the accord has an angled lid/spoiler. Even the exhausts are different. Basically, you can circle the whole damn thing lol

I agree, I had the 90-94 coupe version of the Accord. I've never had any problems with it , all I had to do is regular maintainence, despite being American assembled. The current generation Accord sedan is the worst looking ever IMO.

Overall i like the redesign for both the coupe and sedan. The sedan tailights could have been better though
I actually think the design is a lot more appealing than the current generation Accord.

Im not even going to have any particular opinion on it until I see it in person. I remember when I first saw pictures of the new Camry, I thought it looked good, but then I saw one in person, and was like, holy crap, this thing is fugly. I also, remember I was drooling over LS460 pics, but in person it looks like a Camry. Pictures just don't always do justice.

I'm anxious to review this one. It's already on my list...without any formal requests.

I have to disagree. Look at the two taillights. One is an extreme trapezoid...the other is almost square. You can also see from the other posts that my opinion is not alone.
