Jalopnik brought us a few nice shots of the 2008 Accord coupe and sedan last week, and they do it again with some better shots of the cars' V6 badging, lower rear bumper assembly and overall BMW-like profile.

it looks clean,..but its only been like 4 years that the other model was sold for...y? it seemed perfectly fine to me, then again, i havint been in the new camry.......go de honda,.looks kinda sweet 2
Don @ Jul 3rd 2007 3:33PM
If by clean you mean "generically underwhelming" then yes, I agree with you.
Ryan @ Jul 2nd 2007 7:19PM
I usually like the looks of the Honda Accord but this one is horrible and its just not one thing the whole car is ugly.
Honda should stick with the Accord they make now, I personally think its looks much better.
Petey @ Jul 2nd 2007 7:23PM
Good looking std. rims.. about time Honda had better oem rims.
Ken @ Jul 2nd 2007 7:24PM
Don't care - lets hear about the new diesel one!
Los @ Jul 2nd 2007 7:28PM
First of all it looks like a Camry/Avalon especially in the back. But, it will be a good car, reliable, good mpg, etc. so it doesn't really matter. Honda has a huge loyal consumer base.

They are called wheels. God I hate it when people call them rims.
just a pet peeve of mine.
jgp @ Jul 2nd 2007 7:39PM
I don't care what anyone says. This is still better than the pile of ugly that was the 03-07 Accord.
bmoredlj @ Jul 2nd 2007 7:46PM
Looks great. Nothing groundbreaking, but I don't see a blatant ripping-off of any one model, more like a melange of several. Again, a vast improvement over the old Accord, which was a bit awkward at some angles, particularly before the rear end was retooled.
This has an even more Euro, athletic look that compliments its main U.S. competition, the Fusion and Aura. All three of those cars outmatch the Camry and Sonata for style. The Camry and Sonata may sell damn well, but there's no accounting for taste, IMO.
Jon @ Jul 2nd 2007 8:02PM
Whats up with protruding outward headlights and taillights all of a sudden? the Civic has it the new accord has it,tundra,camry and several gm,ford and dodge vehicles have it.
Ligor @ Jul 2nd 2007 8:29PM
the protruding is due to some new regulation that one must see the light from the top, so, either you wrap them over the wheels (ala the G35, 5-series, S-class, Milan/Fusion) or you bulge them out.
this is the best looking Accord ever, although that doesn't mean much as the older cars were horrrific
bw @ Jul 2nd 2007 9:18PM
The coupe looks very nice, much nicer than the new altima coupe.
hello @ Jul 2nd 2007 10:34PM
What a Hyundai Sonata ripoff...
Honda, step up your game man... Step up your game.
SSBR @ Jul 2nd 2007 10:38PM
Not bad... I like it. Definitely nothing ground breaking here, but the accords have never tried to stand out of the crowd. Thats not the point. Honda's are solid quality cars that can last for well over a hundred thousand miles. I think we might have a winner here. Honda should consider bringing back the HFP package for the coupe and make one for the sedan. The HFP package on the current gen accord coupe makes it a much better looking car. Great time for Toyota to redesign the Solara.. whoever designed that should be stoned.

The ridgeline-like grille is kinda random to me, and profile seems oddly Kia Optima. I dont know, we'll have to see what happens
Bryan @ Jul 2nd 2007 11:00PM
Simply hideous. Perfect for the masses with no style. This thing im pathetic. Its nothing but a rehash of other models. Why do people say Honda's are ao reliable? Tons of tranny issues, cant keep the paint on after 5 years or so and they rust.
Kenn @ Jul 9th 2007 12:56PM
Uh...Bitter, party of 1? Your table is ready. I've had 3 hondas, all lasted past 5 years with no paint issues. One almost 300K and another 120K and the latest just under 60K - all ran great! Never a MAJOR issue other than basic maintenance.
ztiger93 @ Jul 6th 2007 11:11AM
Let's see... four Honda products in my family ranging from a 94 with 135k to a recently acquired 03 with 40k. No tranny problems. No paint problems. No rust problems.
Now that we've addressed that...
Love the new-look Accord (and can't wait to see the new-look TL to follow). Will also be curious about the clean diesel on the way, and I wonder if that's the real reason why there's no V6 in the new CR-V.
My concern is, will there be rear-seat AC vents? This is one feature that could sway me to a Camry XLE instead. Drop in that Pilot center console and I'm an Accord buyer for the 3rd time!
Bob-omb @ Jul 2nd 2007 11:49PM
I still think the 2003 model looked terrific, but this is a mess. It's a complete mish-mosh of bizarre angles and it looks like it was pieced together from Sonatas and Altimas. And it doesn't look *anything* like a Honda. Very strange.
HotRodzNKustoms @ Jul 3rd 2007 12:00AM
Honda was so sure no one would notice this car since Hondas (S2000 excluded) are so boring that they sent it out on the road with no camo!!!
Tool @ Jul 3rd 2007 12:24AM
Wow!
Is that an unattractive car or what?
The designer should be taken out and shot. And the product planners should be replaced for allowing this thing to move forward. I can't believe that it did well in the usual car clinic/market research that automakers perform prior to a launch.
