This generation of Accords just doesnt do it for me like some of the older model did. It looks frumpy and uninspiring

Shows how much I pay attention to Honda, with out that side-by-side ^ I was going to say they didn't change a thing

This has got to be a joke. I mean what is with the cheap looking "add-on" taillights on the Accord sedan. Looks like reflectors off a bicycle or school bus. Honda is going downhill.

I remembered there was a picture of someone modding the trunk light (a la 7 series) like that way back then???

"Chief among the changes are improvements to the car's aerodynamics, reduced engine friction and revised transmission gearing that all add up to increased fuel efficiency", bfd, not that many will notice.

Those tail lights have been in production for the current gen Accord, here in Thailand, except we have function rear fogs and not that weird reflector. . . but it's pretty sharp in person.

Those added tail light strips on the sedan are laughable.

Really pathetic cheap attempt at a refresh. Looks like they took a roll of red reflective tape and went to work.

Yeah. . . I had trouble finding a good pic. . . it's identical to the US Accord, except the tail and minor details.

Not as bad of a redesign as I thought (compared to the Crosstour, new Odyssey, nad Pilot), but its not like they started with a decent canvas anyway. The current Accord IMO is a mess.

Terrible....no LEDs, no 6 speed (higher geared drive ratio = performance hit)...does Honda realize it's 2010?

Honda has lost its mind. I just can't get over how ugly those door handles are. They look like they are upside down.
