Opinions on the new Honda Accord?

[yippiekiyeh]

I was just wondering what everyone thinks about the new Honda Accord 2008?

Linky here

Is it just me or does the front of that thing looking like a Scion tC?

I saw one out on the road. Seemed unremarkable. Meh.

There was a thread awhile back about this car. Personally, I don't like, and you're right yippie, seems like manufacturers just borrow from each other.

is that gross or what?

Pictures don't look that bad to me but I haven't seen one in person, at least I don't know that I have.
$28,000 base price for the V-6 model?
268 hp on front wheel drive? I haven't driven a front wheel drive car in years but isn't that asking the front tires to do a lot? Maybe torque steer has been eliminated. Turning and accelerating at the same time with no limited slip I would think the tires would take a real beating.
I was going to price one out but the Honda web site is too slow. But I'm guessing that I would be in the low to mid 30s by the time I finished. For the money I'd rather have a BMW 135i for about 35k.

I've seen them in person

What's the MPG? I don't feel like sifting through the site.

Saw one today.
It looks like a poor attempt at making it look like a BMW 5-series. You can tell what they were shooting for when you look at the car from the side.
The front grill is not working for me. Its a car only Honda would love.

Bland & overpriced

The Accord always had just a little more character than the Camry - looks like they may have lost it!

[attgig]

honda always borrows/steals styles from other cars. I actually think toyota does a better job of creating new styles (as bland as boring as they may be), and honda always tries to steal theirs...

They should have made it like this:

but it seems this design will go to the 2009 tsx or later.

Now THAT looks nice!

Thanks for the opinions, I know we had a different thread before, but that I was curious on what people thought... I think that the internal features are pretty cool, ipod connector, tire pressure monitor, stability and traction control... more hp, since they bumped it to a 3.5 L engine.
