Honda Accord uses Lexus check mark LED DRL!?

To each his own, Sens4. I peersonally prefer the GS appearance. There is too much "stuff" on the front of the Accord. The GS front fascia isn't as busy. Sure there is the spindle grille, but that is starting to grow on me, and it seems to flow very well with the rest of the car. As long as it is not as strong as on the IS, the spindle looks nice.
But seriously though, noone else thinks that LED DRLs on mainstream cars looks gaudy/out-of-place?

If we let this go unscathed the terrorists would have won.
If we all accept this knockoff practice, which unfortunately is generally accepted in Asia, we will see cars everywhere with generic cookie cutter styling that will bore your socks off. Which already is rampant everywhere in Japan's domestic market and even worst in China.

I don't know about you, but I don't find that aesthetically pleasing at all. Looks tacky IMO

Sorry to disappoint, but not a fan of the new GS styling. The rear looks worse to me than the front, yet the front of the new Accord still looks better than the front of the GS. The GS just looks boring from the rear and overdone in the front, imo. The Accord is a solid design and looks almost classy, yet not boring or stale or overdone - it's just right

That pic the OP posted surprises me, as I know the LED strip in the Accord doesn't include the swoosh at the beginning unlike in Lexus where the whole check or stylized L-shaped LED strip lights up. The Accord is a very handsome looking car, easily one of the best in its class. From some angles and trims it looks like a BMW.

That's why I said "one of the best" as that segment is very competitive design-wise and I agree that those cars are also "among the best in its class" along with the Accord. And of course it's subjective, I was stating my opinion, not a fact.

Stop hanging out with snoop dogg smoking. Enjoy your fridge.
And FYI I think the accord looks good and make Acura lineup look utterly terrible.

Lexus, dont you DARE go there.
That song that comes on during those winter wonderland times rings your name in my head.
For that matter, i cant think of any other auto company that has a theme song. Kia's dancing rodents dont count.

I don't smoke.
Glad we agree that the Accord looks good. I also think it's kinda unfair to compare a brand new Accord with a 5 year old TL & TSX. The new RLX (although admittedly overpriced) is imo an attractive vehicle inside and out, and it's certainly more attractive than the Accord.

It's styling is too bland from behind compared to other cars in its class (and in some cases below its class, such as the Accord). The front is the complete opposite - it screams for attention. But imo, it's screaming for the wrong kind of attention. I think the new ES has a much better balance in its styling.
If so, I completely agree. For some reason, white on red looks better than any other taillight combo.
