2009 Honda Accord review

[torres]

"Honda is preparing a new installment of their medium sedan for 2008. Featuring the new "Keen Edge Dynamics" design, the new Accord will offer a brilliant cocktail of comfort and performance. Following the general lines of the Sports 4 concept car, the 2008 Honda Accord is expected to make a real splash in the sport sedan segment, giving serious headaches to all the Mazda 6s and Alfa 159s out there..."

This is from an exclusive review on the 2009 new Accord model from Honda. You can find info about it's design and performance, history and competition, and also view a photo gallery and artist's impressions.

looks ugly

looks ugly

1. Its a drawing. It probably wont look close to that when it comes out.
2. Its a new Honda. Most of them take some getting used to, but after that, they look pretty good.

I'm glad Honda is walking away from the conservative designs. We already know it will sell good because its an Accord, so why not make it something different and not Camry-esque.

I think it's cool, especially the rear

[89l_x_i]

Reminds me of the current acura TL. Looks pretty cool ive been waiting to see what the next gen accord will look like. Hopefully they will also make good hp.

[ZackieDarko]

it better be awd

[Tecknixia]

almost looks hatchish... hmm... makes you wonder... (or give in to false hope anyways)

A Good looking car doesn't need to grow on you.

[ghettogeddy]

it looks like a 4dr 350 z lol well to me it does thats the first thign that poped in my head

[MIK3]

That back looks like a G35 Coupe mixed with something from Lincoln's new line. It's alright, I'm sure the finished version will look sweet.

[Civic Accord Honda]

id hit it

I dont see why not. Some cars take some getting used to and some just look good from the spot. When the 7th gen Accord 1st came out, I thought it was pretty ugly, but then I saw more and more of them and my mind changed. Now I think they look pretty good.

seventh gen accord is pretty ugly the fact you're used to it doesnt make it less ugly:)

[Toneloc5145]

And thats YOUR opinion. I used to think it was ugly, I must admit. But now I think its a good looking car.

[AlfredoPDX]

yes it is MY opinion and i understand what you are saying i wasnt trying to rub you the wrong way with that,

[Toneloc5145]

No hard feelings.:)

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Lol, how can they call it a review when the car isn't even close to being released to public eyes... Besides which, from what I;ve seen and heard, that is the euro accord aka the TSX here

[RamThis]

yeah I was gonna say it looked too much like the Acura TSX/RSX to be an Accord's replacement, but ya never know knowadays with these crazy car companies.

I think it looks bad ass myself, except the tail lights, they could use some more work. Otherwise, I'd buy one in a heartbeat if I had the money.....

[1ajs]

whats with the glass roof?

[RamThis]

whats with the glass roof?


Concept, would never fly in production cars, but man, that would be AWESOME wouldnt it?? :rockon:

[speedpenguin]

It doesn't look at all like a regular Accord... And it definitely doesn't look like it should be FWD. I really hope it's not.

There should be a new Accord coming out stateside for the 2008 model year, I'm basing that assumption on the fact that this model year (2007) has an SE in the lineup. And we all know what that means.

[MIK3]

Rear disc brakes! Sweet.





On a serious note, I doubt they'll opt for RWD accords. That's just Honda.

[ICEMAN707]

I like the new designs Honda's been coming up lately. I don't doubt the new Accord would be a definite head turner.

I know... But maybe AWD wouldn't be too much to hope for...? I mean, there was talk of it being available in the Euro R.

Hell, it was available in 80's Civics.

[ZackieDarko]

they could EASILY put the RDX engine/drive train into it...MAN that would be sweet :-D

[Cheeseburger]

that looks sweet!

[Tomisimo]

yehhh... 50/50.

I do agree with this. I do think a possible AWD package will be incorporated in some HFP models. That'd be awesome.

[BITESIZE]

Titties!

[A18A]

the rear looks funny, the front is hot though, except the front bumper


whats with the glass roof?
