New 03 Accord Coupe pics
I dont like it! It looks like a an ugly CL






Also there is a snipped from Autoweek: There’s also word from Europe that Honda is testing a high-performance six-cylinder Acura sport sedan, likely the next TL Type-S, based on the latest Accord architecture.

wow...you know what i just noticed....the rear tail lights are taped off to look just like the CL....i think they're hoping most people will think it is one and not give it a second look...

People, keep in mind that bra and the other body pieces are really meant to camoflage it. Did anyone else notice the rear looks like the SL?

judging from the side profile of the car i can say that the front overhang is way too long. The wheel starts at the freakin door. And the nose just points out a mile. Honda should learn something from BMW and extend the wheel bases to create shorter over hangs, better handling and more interior room.
On a side note. It's funny how the TL guys post about the accord sedan and you guys post about the coupe.

The rear half looks overinflated. I like my CL's refined ass better.

I'm imagining the conversations between the designers:

    looks like the back window slopes alot, almost hatchback like. im thinking a mix between RSX and CL. the CL still looks better.

    The placement of the front wheel looks like it will result in a very front heavy car. Worse weight distribution than the CL

    too much metal over the rear wheels...makes the wheel wells look small...like a tiburon. Even with the disguising I can tell it's gonna be ass ugly.

    ahhh honda engineers must be proud
    The sad thing is everyone sees another car in it - some say cl, rsx or mercedes, other say volvo or tiburon and cougar - instead of an accord, WHICH ITS SUPPOSE TO BE!

    To me it looks like an enlarged version of the late INTEGRA screws the current COUGAR from the side, merc sl from the back and something very uninspiring from the front.

    I'd be very proud of myself if i was the designer for being so damn original!

    by sl you mean a mecedes, right? i was just thinking about the same thing. maybe they're trying to have that knock off european look. it think it's fugly. i like the look of the current 2dr coupe.

    The coupe has a similar body proportion as civic coupe. Does Honda have to constantly inflate Accord's body?

    This usually happens when a new car is introduced. Many look for the bad or look for something similar. It's just the way our minds work. Trust me, within a few months after it has been on the road we will accept it as an Accord. Personally, I like it!!!!!! :P

    I see many of your points, but I still think it's ugly... and I am sure I will almost always think it is ugly...
