I wonder if they got rid of the LED tails... even with the big pics on vtec.net, I can't tell. I can definitely tell there's no "smart access". I guess the Altima & Maxima are the only mid-priced cars with that as a standard feature on all models.

The couple looks okay. The back is very boring.

The sedan is totally disappointing. The rear quarter & back are just plain ugly. Check out the area left of the taillight on that green or gray Accord in the front of the blue one... that's a whole lot of metal with no design to it at all. The caption states that the cars were caught during a photo shoot... I was hoping the absence of design on the sedan's trunk was the result of a pre-production model... oh well.

Coupe looks nice. Not sure about the rear of it though.. kinda big bland and solara like. The sedan lets not even talk about it's a flat out disgusting example of modern car design. Looks like something I'd expect from Kia or something.

Seems like honda ran out of ideas.
Like what everyone mentioned, front is like tl and they just ripped off the rear of a civic coupe.

The sedan's rear is just like a saturn/altima.

Coupe looks great. Sedan... hmm... not terrible, and will have to see in person.

I don't know about you guys but I think they look great. The LEDs are gone for another two years I'm guessing. I just think they should start using projector bulbs and keyless go if they want to catch up with the competition.

front looks great, but the back.... whats up with honda and their recent designs?

Very obvious that they designed the coupe first, and then the sedan.

Back looks like a sonata with the trunk lights deleted...and the es350 with the trunk lights deleted also....
Otherwise, everything looks great!
This current generation of accord is one of the worst looking (especially the rea end) in my opinion.

I like the coupe. The sedan, I like the front and side, but I need to see that rear end in person. It is not ugly, but the pics don't do anything for me.

Yes. If the Accord gets SH-AWD I will take a serious look at it...and not just for a review.

I bashed the coupe 6 months ago and now I like it. Doh!

The sedan looks OK, probably better than the current model that has
zero personality.

The sedan is HUGE guys, from Autoweek...

"Both the new sedan and coupe will be bigger; how much bigger is unclear. Honda boss John Mendel would only say that this will be the “roomiest” midsize sedan available."

Not really impressed but ill wait until i see it in person.

I think they should disguise it again.

Even disguised, the general styling of the new Accord was already known. The coupe front end looks nice, but as many others have mentioned it looks like a TL front end, with some TSX styling thrown in as well. Now that the Accord looks like an Acura more than ever, it's bad news for Acura models, unless next-gen Acura cars look different enough from the current gens.

Rear end styling on the coupe is dissapointing, just a Civic rear end. The sedan looks oddly proportioned, and IMO I feel the sedan should have a better grill, sleeker headlights, and not have such a long rear end. Of course engineering should be first-rate, as it's a Honda, but now that we've seen interior and exterior features, it seems as if Honda is a bit confused about it's styling direction, with an Acura exterior and BMW interior for the new Accord.

Personally, the Camry looks sleeker and better proportioned, especially in SE trim, but I'll have to see the Accord in person before passing final judgement.

That's a pretty bold claim ... we will see if indeed it's true. The Camry currently has the best rear seat area in the midsize sedan segment.
