2008 Honda Accord Looks Like Sonata

[inferredrecords]

Looks like a sonata. Honda is going down.

Say hello to the first naked shots of the 2008 Honda Accord. Although Honda is still doing long-lead press reviews of the 15-year leader in US sales, Brenda Priddy's spies captured the 2008 Accord just as it stepped out of its fascia-obscuring sports bra and into a photo shoot for a Canadian brochure. Here's what we know. Obviously, expect the new model to sport some serious frontal design changes. That new look's being eclipsed in the marketing materials only by the Honda's comments about the Accord's higher horsepower, better fuel economy and lower emissions for the V6-powered model. Although there's no word from Honda, we're anticipating a 3.5-liter V6 with about 270-horsepower, as well as the base 180-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder version.

You noticed that too?

I don't know if that's a thumbs up to Hyundai's styling team or the fact that Honda is so incredibly mediocre as far as styling their sedans.

it follow's the new civic's ugly styling cues...

the exhaust tip's are carryover's from the predecessor..uh oh..a sign of cost cutting there...and boy are the wheels hideous..

Once again..Honda has produced again another boring lookin car..i mean the accord still just look's like a bread and butter fashioned sedan..

and one mroe thing..the rectangular headlights just don't go with the cars curvy look.

Another cost-cutting sign: the wheels on that Accord Coupe are the same wheels that are on the Odyssey Grand Touring Edition. Wow.

It may look like the sonata but the sonata looks good, i mean, really good. Thats just.. well Honda...

I like the looks of the Accord coupe. The sedan looks fine, but for once I agree...it looks like the Sonata.

oh snap, a camry and a sonata had a baby.

Seems like a lot of new cars look...Korean, especially GMs. The new Saturn Vue and big Buick SUV look like they were designed in Korea, and it's even written that the Vue looks Korean in Car and Driver. Kind of have the proportions and design of the Tuscon and Sportage.

This is good stuff.

Just remember guys, we Hyundai owners were "ahead of the pack" in our car tastes.

What a hideous car!

I guess now we know why the Koreans rushed the sonata into production!
