Thanks......Nice picture posts, guys.

Mixed opinions here. The outside is FAR better looking than the present-generation Accord, though I wish the headlights didn't sweep back so much. At least those ugly triangular headlights now in use are gone. The interior is OK except for those awful steering wheels that Honda and Acura are now using ( the worst one, by far is in the new Acura MDX...see my review) I'd like to see a little more wood paneling on the dash and more round ***** and switches instead of buttons.....but that is just my tastes.....others may not agree.

For the record, I thought the 1990-1994 was the best-generation Accord ever built, from a looks point of view. None of the others, since then, have even been close, though in some ways this one is better then the one it replaces.

the coupe is exactly like the concept...pretty nice. the sedan is absolutely an abomination....front and back is

Told you guys the sedan would look like the RL Well at least from the sides and the back which look GREAT imo. The Coupe looks awesome all around AND IF there is an SE sedan Accord it MAY have the coupe front, if it doesnt you can just swap the grills giving the sedan that gorgeous coupe front The standard sedan grill does look HIDEOUS!!! though

honda experts: will the usdm accord be jdm accord, or jdm inspire?

and i think it looks nice. lets just hope that RL/legend steps it up for the next gen.

I like the front end a lot. Looks nice.

Side profile is a little weird, and the back end on the sedan is pretty bad IMO. Looks like the shape of an older Saturn.

Looks like a Nissan from the front...

Not bad but a disappointment compared to the Civic.

The Civic is ultra sleek and low but this is another tall looking somewhat boxy sedan.

Its okay. Has that same character line down the side like the current TL. Like the front, very sporty looking, but once again not liking the rear.

One thing about the Accord is that they always seem to have pretty nice interiors for its price range.

I agree w/ you the civic is much sleeker and has a nice low stance but i guess to achieve the interior volume they wanted for the 8th gen Accord they needed to make it tall. That being said i do like the coupe and sedan(sans sedan grill).


Yup, they will have to or else sales wont be to great(dont know if they are even good now) when u have this 8th gen accord.

I like it more than the Camry, that's for sure.

If i were to get that car, a new steering wheel would by my first mod.

Spy photographers interrupted Honda in the middle of a brochure shoot.


Dual exhausts indicate this is a V6 coupe.


These aren't the first Accord spy photos we've seen, but they certainly are the cleanest.


The 2008 Accord sedan goes on sale later this year.

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — As the all-new 2008 Honda Accord nears its official launch, spy photographers stumble upon a group of 2008 Honda Accords in the middle of a brochure photo shoot.

As we've seen before, the Accord coupe gets a honeycomb grille, while the sedan's face is trimmed with horizontal bars. Based on the alloy wheels and dual exhaust pipes, both the coupe and sedan pictured are V6 models.

Honda has publicly talked about increased horsepower, improved fuel economy, cylinder deactivation and lower emissions for the V6-powered Accord. Although official specifications have not yet been released, a 3.5-liter V6 with approximately 270 horsepower is expected, as well as the base 180-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine.

What this means to you: This latest group of spy shots proves the new Accord has been worth the wait.
