Kudos Honda!
agreed

this car looks 100x better than the 8th generation, which kept its sales numbers high mainly due to brand loyalists. Now that competition has improved dramatically, Honda needed to improve, and it looks like they have done a great job.

But, the jury is still out on driving experience and technologies implemented.

So far, I think this car will outperform the 8th generation in sales and popularity. Honda really needs a home run right now, and this might be it.

Now that we have a "few" actual pictures, I think it's looking really good for the Accord


I love my 03 Accord, and like the current generation, but this 9th Gen is an improvement!

I agree! Now that I've seen pictures of the actual car - it's growing on me real fast. But then I realize that the Accord is just a people mover...I want my next car to be a sports coupe RWD.

Everything looks good from what I've seen thus far. Then again I am definitely making a huge upgrade coming from a 6th gen. Only deciding factor from here is the price tag.

I just hope the leather seating is of a better quality than the 8th gen.

Apart from the interior dash, the sedan front look is quite nice. Those squared double projector healights with drl led on the bottom are just great to me!

The hood agressive lines, me like. :-)

The rear end looks like Genesis/Hyundai. From the front and side-on looks like a BMW.

Looks alright, but I still prefer the sleeker 7th generation sedan.
