"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 ass 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.

:-X 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...

you really wouldn't wanna grow up in the 60's and 70's though, think about it

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.

ya, thats actually very true, the cars would have been fantastic


everything else would be kinda weak, except for the hot sluts that worked at all the drive in burger joints, thats not weak.

Why tha hell not?? A) I don't watch TV, because of all the bullshit that's on it ALLL the time now B) I don't care for alot of the bullshit music that the coons get paid millions of dollars to pollute the radio waves with these days C) I usually wear t-shirts and jeans, which is how the guys dressed back then anyways D) I think those lil honey's rollerskatin' up to my GS 400 Stage 1 Buick(DEFINITELY what I would've wanted to drive) stuffed w/ a 455, with my burger and french fries would be sexy as hell E) worse case scenario I would've had to go to Vietnam for a year or two to pump some lead into Charlie's ass or possibly go out in a blaze of glory and get my name etched into that black marble wall and have my own holiday for as long as there is an America...

It looks like a hondai sonata and any of the nissans (since the sentra, altima and maxima are all the same car just in different sizes) fucked and made that.

I think I need to see it with out any tape though

I hope it makes a torque curve with all that 270hp, otherwise it'll be jsut another yaer where the Toy/Nis's outrun the accord. :\

Re: 2008 accord
 
Doesnt look like a caddy at all

I thought it was a bimmer in the first few pics, pretty damn close to the newer ones with the headlights and taillights

if they come out with a 6-speed and a decent lip kit ---- i think it'd be alright. the v6 will have 18's.

being an accord enthusiast i find it ugly and looks like other cars pieced together. havent liked it since i've seen the sneak pics from a few months ago.

You can't see any cadillac in the front end at all?

5series/caddy is a good call

The Altima Coupe will be staring down the Honda Accord Coupe and Toyota Solara Coupe in the marketplace, as well as perhaps the Pontiac G6 Coupe and Chevy Monte Carlo. It will be armed with either a 170-hp, 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine or the yummy 3.5-liter VQ V6 rated at 270 horsepower and 258 ft-lbs. of torque, both available with either an Xtronic CVT or 6-speed manual.

^^ i can't wait for that to come out

it looks like a mix between a sentra/and caddy. It doesn't look that bad i would like to see it with the tape off though. 270hp sounds nice too.

Honda ran out of ideas, and copied the Hyundai Sonata. Which copied the Honda accord. Hyundai is now S.O.L.

Re: 2008 accord
 
looks a lot like a new toyota camry and maxima/altimas, im sure thats what honda is going for.....
