2008 Accord spy shots

I agree with those posters that say it looks like a Solara from behind! An older one at that!
Damn! This better not be a sign of things to come for the TL (Acura TL usually follows Accord lead in design)!!

I don't know if that is the Accord 2008 model. Is it confirmed????
But even the person who posted it from howardforums was asking if the car can be identified.
If you look at the headlights of that car, it looks "LEXUS-like".
I think it is a Toyota????

the rear of the car looks like a chrysler 300 but the front looks like the old 2001 accord coupe. If this was the accord they are not trying very hard to make it not look like a civic

i don't know if its a honda. most new honda's are all coming with LED tail lamps, which this car doesn't have. (yet?)
it looks like a domestic to me? maybe a saturn aura?

I once told someone that I planned to be in this 3G TL a long time. I didn't know how truthful I was being with myself until I saw that pic. Don't want nothing that looks like that! (future TL I mean)
Although, AWD and a few tweaks can change my mind!

If you look at micwiltay's two links above, he is right...it is a dead ringer for the '08 Honda Accord coupe concept. The back, the front and even the side creases. That is an '07 Accord coupe test mule.

a closer examination:
from the first photo, cropped to side mirror:

standard accord:

side by side (accord mirror, prototype mirror):

plus that accent line along the length of the door screams Acura TL to me

Hmmm. the concept pics and the actual spy shots look similar. the rear is sloped more than the concept model.
I like the front but I do not like the back.......
I still think styling for new TSX and TL will still be far better as the Accord has naturally been designed to look less agressive than Acura line.

Lights on the rear look like Toyota's work. Wheels look straight off the Camry XLS. Looks good but pics from Detroit's show look nothing like this. I will stick with the one from the auto show.

More hi-res pics surfaced, one with a peek inside. Check out the huge opening in the center console. Perhaps Honda is moving toward larger nav screens ![Wink](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
