[Like it? Digg it!] Revealed today at the Detroit auto show, the 2008 Honda Accord Coupe Concept reveals a totally new look for the next-generation Accord.
“The Accord Coupe Concept demonstrates the styling direction for the upcoming, eighth-generation Accord,” said John Mendel, senior vice president of American Honda. “As the industry’s target for midsize segment excellence, the all-new Accord will set a new benchmark for safety, efficiency, performance, refinement and style.”
The Accord is Honda’s best-selling model in North America and its debut at NAIAS marks the first time that an Accord concept vehicle has ever been shown at a major auto show. Gallery after the jump…
Yeah it looks definitely, different for Honda. This is very radical. Looking at it, I get a feeling of G35, Tiburon, CR-V square gril :3
I think Honda is moving in the direction of making Honda and Acura car models on different platforms, so this is going to stay FWD. Acura going RWD or AWD may be the reasoning behind making the Accord look visually appealing and not bland. The Camry, Altima, Sonata, and Aura surely have something to do with it too. Hopefully a LSD finds its way in the V6 6-speed cars.
As an observation it looks like they stole the headlights from the current acura tl. I’m not a fan of the flat front end or the the quad integrated exhaust though.
