Now the taillights look too small and there is still a Buicky look to the whole rear imho.

I don't think the taillights are too small, but they need to be larger if they're going to be that high up. Don't see any Buick there, though, and it's a major improvement over the 05.

Looks like the same old Accord.

No one can tell that the rear end of the sedan has been entirely redesigned? I'll excuse you for not noticing the modified grille, but are you car enthusiasts or not?

The wedgy style tailight is sure the look of the day.  Almost every maker uses this now.  The Accord Sedan' rear looks now closer to the Coupe.

I only saw the front of the car before...the other link was not working.  I just followed your advice, and selected the URL, and now I can see it.  The back is entirely different, and entirely better.  I like it a lot.  The front is still very similar.

They now work anyway, the links now go to the picture's page instead of to the picture.

Ok, they all work perfectly now.  The coupe looks almost unchanged...it definitely did not get the facelift in the rear as the sedan did.

They un-rounded the coupe's trunklid and modified the taillights, but it didn't need the facelift the sedan did.

Very slightly modified...they basically just put in white reverse lights.

They also added a ridge to flow with the new trunk.  

Tom

The Accord used to have a clean and simple design.



Now it looks 9 months pregnant.  And really, that goes for many other mainstream cars today like the Camry.  I don't know about everyone else, but I like the previous gen a lot better.

This is the best-looking Accord design IMO:

This is my favorite gen Accord as well.  Though the real Accord that is in other markets (aka the TSX) is the worthy successor to the other Accords.  We just got the bloated one.

That's my second-favorite, I prefer the more-rounded but still not bloated generation that replaced it.

I think the gen after the one pictured in my post was the first of the bloated Accords.

Bloated? I'm not seeing it, especially in person. That's the gen that strikes the best balance of blocky vs. curvy IMO.

A.  I don't really see a difference.


B.  Those pictures are grainy as hell.  Maybe that's why I can't see the difference.

Look at the rear-end shot of the car, and look at a rear end shot of the current car. It should become very clear.

We have a 98 and 02 accord from the last gen. It's not the prettiest in its class but it sure beats the heck out of the current ones. I think the rear looks too fat still, and the tail lights are too Fordy. Gosh, what's happening in the design room nowadays. Even the Civic looks a little fat.

The rear looks distinctly better, and the front looks a little better. Overall, a little better looking car, I think. It's still not an attractive design, in my opinion, but it's a little less ungainly.
