What "double-dash" are you refering to, Mike? 
The Civic, of course, has had the split-level dash with the digital speedometer and electronic/analog tach for several years. But are you talking about the new Accord? I don't see any evidence of that....and Bangle, of course, did not come with the Civic-type double-dash.

That clears it up. Yes, I have to admit, it isn't bad-looking.....IMO, a lot better than some of the other things Chris Bangle came up with.

Well, I respect your opinion, but a lot of people disagree. Much in the auto press and magazines has been written on how the new American-market Jetta's chassis, fit/finish, and interior have been markedly cheapened over previous models, due to cost-cutting. Same, to an extent, with the new Honda Civic.

So maybe on pics it looks good, but once inside, not so much. European press complained a lot about this as well. I am surprised they didnt modify it more for Europe.

but now I see him as a ****ing genius. He was way ahead of his time and his influence is felt today.

Spied in the Desert! 2013 Honda Accord Coupe
Spy shooters have been busy this week in Death Valley and we have received dozens of shots of the 2014 Acura RLX, 2013 Accord Sedan, and 2013 Accord Coupe.
Below is a set of shots of a paisley-wrapped 2013 Accord Coupe from Brenda Priddy. Based upon the leather interior, 215/55R17 tires, and single exhaust outlet - this is almost certainly a 4-cylinder EX-L model.

New spy shots reveal more details of the 2013 Accord interior!
We've exposed the 2013 Honda Accord in greater detail than ever before thanks to our razor-sharp shots of a prototype's uncovered interior. We can now see the Accord's new instrument cluster, its new LCD screen, the new center stack controls, all while proving that the next Accord will have Pandora radio functionality. We've also proved that the engineers in this particular prototype love them some Celine Dion radio, but that's another story.
Also encouraging is the fact this prototype is equipped with a manual transmission, hopefully keeping driving enthusiasts in the equation.
We also have a new selection of exterior shots of both the Accord Coupe and the Accord sedan, with detailed shots of some of the headlight and tail-light details.
