wow, looks really good. (2thumbs)

If you look at the lines of the rear-quarter without seeing the tail lights is it just me or does it have a shape reminiscent of a BMW?

I do not see BMW but see Chrysler 300 M in the rear.

looks nice...the quarter windows look like the ones on the Altima coupe...kinda.

thats a 6 speed i see. looks really good

 

[mikeyb]

I think the Altima coupe looks better.

 

[DeanSweet]

that's nice.... wonder if she handles as well as she looks?
Funny, I've been to that shopping center recently!

Huge HUGE inprovement IMO. I'm sure Honda had a reason, althought I can't figure out what it might be...to not make one continuous line across the front by matching up the body panels on top of the headlights with the front edge of the hood. Wouldn't that have made for a more integrated looking nose??

i think it looks good. def reminds me a lot of the altima coupe though

The do look very similar, but the Accord wins me over. I think Nissan overdid the wheel arches a little...or else the wheels are too small, not sure.

Certainly see your point if you look directly from the rear. However, take a look at the third picture and concentrate on the rear half of the car to catch the look that I am talking about. Tell me what you think there.

I'm surprised that I actually like this. I've not cared for any Honda product besides the S2K for a long time.

The arches on the Nissan are overdone in my opinion...they are begging for bigger rims/tires. The one change I would make on the Accord (just like the earlier years) would be to lower it about 2 inches.

It looks somewhat like a 3 series.

It looks like a big civic..

It is an improvement over the current generation, that is for sure.

It's nice... but that hood line is really bugging me.

 

[Rainman]

It looks somewhat like a 3 series.

Exactly my thoughts. It is interesting how you can create a new look simply by borrowing shapes from an assortment of other vehicles.

yea, hide the hood gap somewhere in the grille - that looks pretty bad the way it is
