I actually like the New Accord look

For those of you who have not seen it already:

http://vtec.net/news/news-item?news_item_id=1085496

I really like the look. Given that it's aimed towards families, so the styling isn't going to be super aggressive/radical, i like how it looks.

Double projectors is cool...reminds me of the Lexus LS460 HL with the tripple projectors the front looks Lexus-ish as well rear screams Hyundai Genesis Sedan...looks better than the previous generation.

Nobody else thinks that double projectors means double the money spent on replacing/upgrading to HIDs?

It looks like the '13 Accord Coupe will have a single projector:



Aside from the double projector, I have to agree that the '13 Accord looks really nice.

The back does scream genesis sedan but overall I think the look is geared to resemble the BMW rear end. It looks classy

the new Mazda 6 is due soon and according to some, it looks HOT!!This segment is defenitely heating up. New Camry/Altima/Malibu/newish Optima and Sonata/upcoming Fusion, Accord, and Mazda 6. Lots of choices and other than the Malibu, you really can't go wrong w/ any of them

The style is still far worse and can't compare to our TSX but much much better than its previous one. Let's see how it looks and its spec. when releasing.
I might jump back to the Accord V6.

Massive Nav screen for shizzles
Shifter looks stuntacular
Second screen is for HVAC for shizzles?
Front end of coupe looks like what an alternative 2g TSX would look like if we didnt get the euro accord me thinks
Steering wheel wtf is going on...dual cluster this is not a fucking xbox 360 controller bro lol
Looking at the instrument cluster....is that a mini tach + fuel in 1 band? eeeeps how messy

It's probably fuel and coolant temps in one circle.
two screens is most likely like the civic, one nav and one I-mid screen

Specs were just released today on the '13 Accord. The V6 will boast 278hp and fuel economy numbers of 21/34. The 4 cylinder will come in either 185hp or 189hp versions with fuel economy being 27/36. A whole host of pictures is now available at Motor Trend's website as well as a nice write up. Check it out.

The 2013 Accord definitely is a step up from the current version especially in the tech side (and the interior.)

But the 2013 Accord plug-in hybrid is a major fail in the looks department.

man....6MT available on the Sport..and much better MPG...had this been out when i got my SE, it would have been a tough decision, assuming the sport 6mt is cheaper than a 6mt TSX SE

I don't think it looks bad. You want ugly, look at a Nissan Juke.
