Looks decent from the A-pillar back but that front end may actually be uglier than the 7G's frontend.

i dont like it....kinda looks like a civic mixed with tsx from the a-pillar back...front end looks similar to the current accord which, imo, needs a huge facelift

I saw a new camry the other day, and I have to say that I am impressed with it. It is "tastefully" bold, but still restrained, which is a very good thing.
The next Accord really needs to turn up the volume in the styling department, without getting too crazy, if it wants to compete with the camry in style.

New accord will be sharp if it turns out like the civic.

Elegant Vanilla.
As far as vanilla goes...I likes. MUCH better than the current Camry. Those things look horrible in person.

from Hondanews.com regarding the current generation Accord (around the time of its release):
It seems someone ended up beating the "cheetah" with the boring stick after the designers were done. The current accord is much better than previous generations, but I have yet to feel the "cheetah" when i see an accord.
When designers and stylists went to work on 2003 Accords they were looking to produce a more dynamic overall package, one with a more muscular and agile look. They chose a cheetah as their design theme, with a sleek overall body, aggressive front and muscular flanks. Their goal was to make the help make the Accord more of an emotional choice of buyers with more dramatic and aggressive styling.

I saw Yaris today and thought - is the whole Toyota sedan lineup gonna look alike? Talk about same sausage, different length - if it wasnt for the scale, the average soccer mom could mistake an Avalon, for a Camry or Yaris (I assume the Corolla will be just another copy when that gets redesigned). I hope that doesn't happen with the Honda lineup, but from this sketch it looks like it might.

I think it looks better than the new Camry. I really hate that design. Talk about being beat with an ugly stick!! Toyota is really disappointing me lately. Hopefully the production Accord will look better than this new Camry (I don't think it will take much).
