From the design standpoint,
this vehicle would have to constitute another miss in a demanding world of vehicular exterior design. In my view, HA 2008 design represents from a distance a "shrunk down" version of latest Acura RL. A number of contributors to this forum have already noticed similarities in between this Honda's grill and Hyundai Sonata's front end. In a similar way, I would add, look at the photo of this car's rear end - it is a rendition of Saturn LS300, now a defunct model. It is quite hard for me to understand why did Honda repeat similar design mistake as it did with previous Accord: mishandle design. Not wanting to blast the distinguished manufacturer, an automotive journalist called the rear end design of the previous Honda "frumpy". To put it out in a polite way, I might add. This time, Toyota Camry won the challenge, as their new sedan has finally emerged from the realm of car design that was always reserved for poorly constructed and cheap, no name Chinese tin car toys. Unfortunatelly, Accord will remain there. At least for one more generation.
