The 2006 Accord?

The 2006 Accord?

Do you think this is the 2006 Accord? The back looks a little like the TL. If it's not a Honda, I'm guessing Pontiac.

I figured it related to the TL since the design resembles the TL and because a lot of us, including myself, opted for the TL because we were turned off by the Accord's looks and if the next Accord looks more like a TL, then maybe some potential TL buyers who wander onto this forum will look at the Accord again.

If we talk about TL... I mean TL...

Sorry, I cannot copy that pic directly... but that one in the spy pic has the similar rear-end style...

I was going to say G6 Coupe but there are some noticeable differences between the G6 and that car.



Any chance it's a 3G CL???

Has honda completely LOST its mind. I mean since 2001 i knew they were going down hill, but figured they might clean up their act considering the sales and the looks of their cars are yet to be desired with comparison to whats out there.

But after looking at those pics i can honestly say... HONDA SUCKS. That is by far the ugliest looking rear. Their best accord was the 98-00 coupe. (i had it and loved it) New coupe looks like POO. now 2006... even more of POO. Good thing tl is still as sexy as ever

We don't know yet if that's the new Accord so don't get too upset.

it will sell i'm sure, since most people just dont care about style to them its Just a car.

but look at what happen to the civic when it first came out (new body style) they couldnt sell that many thats why they did such a face lift on it on the current civic.

No doubt!! The Element is a good example of that. It's EASILY the ugliest car Honda has EVER sold stateside yet @ 60,000 units sold per year, there's no disputing it's demand.

Honda, in an effort to build a economic alliance with US automakers, has actually hired the folks from Ford's Mercury division. the bloodline of Mercury seems to have carried over to this new accord.

strikingly similiar
