Default 2008 accord







"While this mule was likely a four-cylinder model, we expect a new 3.5L V6 from Honda for the Accord with at least 270 horsepower when the car debuts later this year. Expect lower emissions, however, and tricks like cylinder deactivation to increase the car's fuel economy at the same time. The four-cylinder, meanwhile, will likely have around 180 horsepower. Production of the new Accord should start in September or October with deliveries to dealerships arriving not long after."




I like the flashiness of the car, pretty bad *** if you need a family ride.

To me it looks like a sebring from the front door back and an ion in the front.
I don't like it.

It's not a bad looking accord. I'd have to see the whole car without the tape.

Looks pretty good, but I am not digging the headlights sticking out of the sides of the fenders.

looks like honda ran out of ideas so they're pulling from the gm/chrysler bucket.

I think I just puked in my mouth...I'm sorry, but in my opinion cars just keep gettin' uglier and uglier...There are a few exceptions but not many...I really like the sport compacts from the late 80's and early to mid 90's, but I just can't see paying the 15K+ they're asking for the plastic ---- they are putting out these days...They all look the same too me, nothin' really sticks out and does its own thing ESPECIALLY since all the 07 models all started coming out...A 270hp V-6 SOUNDS nice but I bet it's a gas pig even w/ cylinder deactivation(whatever the ---- that is)...Also the fact that the cars are becoming more and more computerized and emission restricted...It's getting harder and harder to modify a car to your liking and performance standards w/o spending a chunk of change...I wish I could grow up in the sixties when gas was under a $1 a gallon, cars were made of STEEL, and came from the factory with 350+ c.i. engines and were capable of low 13, even 12 sec. 1/4 miles right off the showroom floor...

I would've. Say, 1950 would've been a great year to have been born. Look what would've came out when you were 18-22. Then look at now.
