I'm about 5 of them at the dealer when they first hit and it was

at first sight.

I really like wagon version a lot, too. Much sleeker then bug-eye, or style after.

IMO the redesign made the grill/snout more palatable.

i think the new Accord sedan is awful looking...but as far as the coupe goes, I think its the best Accord coupe yet.

New designs I dont like:
Eclipse
3 Series
A4 (the grille doesnt do it for me)

3 series
5 series
grand cherokee
galante
07 landcruiser, not available in U.S. but they sure butchered that thing into a cheap looking SUV.
Audi
Jetta
Ram...It looked fine before they made it look more like a Dakota
07 tundra
06 explorer
viper
RL
GTI

I may be picky, but alot of new models these days look cheap and just dont look as solid as previous models.
