Yep, & the current Accord/Camry the first time ever that I think the Camry looks way better than the Accord sedan, it used to be the other way around.

I dont think the current accord has double wishbone. If anything, the new one will probably have the McPherson struts

wow.. they finally made the Accord larger after staying on the small side of midsize. Not that I want it big like the Camry since Accord buyers buy Accords because they're more fun to drive than the Camry.
Still looks like the Sonata though. Judging by the small rear lights, can I assume they're LEDs? (that or they put a makeshift trunk lid)

no it does, though McPherson struts are cheaper and offer better packaging...we'll see.

That's interesting. They offer double wishbone suspension on the accord, but they went with McPherson on their sports coupe RSX

Looks pretty good for what it is. I think that if you crossed an Altima with an RL and sharpened the edges, this is what it would look like.
At the same time, not bad at all for a bread and butter family sedan

It would make sense to do so. Someone speculated 270hp. It has to have AT LEAST what the camry is making right now.
