I will help you.

Definitely looks like an improvement over the current misshapen wildebeest that's passing for an Accord.

Hmmm... double projector bulbs and separate halogen daytime lamps and turn signals? Just seems off. Would be cool if those where LED headlights but I doubt Honda will push that until it is on every Acura first.

Tail lights are LED yah! And looks like Honda will stick to the single/dual exhaust tips for I4/V6 models.

Interior looks great. Looks like i-MID screen will be standard or on most models while the upper bin is the optional navigation. Navigation is still button/knob based thou. Everything is very similar to the overall TSX shape.......

[adrew]

It will have available LED headlights.

Any underneath shots? I want to see if the rumors that the double-wishbone front suspension going away are true.

One ToV poster said he is going to a press event next week so I guess we all find out soon.

[Gus Polinski]

Hopefully they've figured out a way to make the front seats more comfortable.

[dcmix5]

I will help you.

Yeah...I tried that too

[zerind]

Lens distortion like crazy on those pics.

The double displays on the center stack look interesting.

[choochoo]

looks just like a hyundai genesis from that rear 3/4 view.
wheels look decent
interior looks more upscale than the current
overall though, looks more like a refresh than a new model.

if i read correctly elsewhere...the I-4's equiped with Sport pack will have a dual exhaust tip.

rear looks like a Hyundai Genesis

[Crimping Is Easy]

Looks awesome. Good job, Honda.

[mhjett]

Yeah...I tried that too

Derp - it worked on the other computer I was using.

[zerotosixty]

Looks like all my Honda hate might be turned back a notch. The Accord seems to be a solid step in the right direction

[dieselraver]

Allow me.

[dieselraver]

i like the chrono style tachs and speedo. what im finding interesting is not one, but three LCD/info screens. looks like one might be a dedicated air/con/hvac screen, another is for audio/dvd/nav and maybe a third for trip computer info?

[Mazda 3s]

I will help you.

Allow me.

NOOBS!

[ABAcabby]

yeah it's not bad. headlights are weird.

[jepva]

wow, interior looks straight out of the TL. lower front spoiler reminds of the S-line Audi's.

are those twin HID's?

[dieselraver]

holy cow! this web site is constantly renaming the pictures to block them from being hotlinked!! im quite impressed

[invisiblewar]

The interior looks great.

[Tiny4cyl]

That's not even the LED headlamp model and it looks amazing, even in silver.

My Honda excitement meter just went from "da fuq" to "well now...can they extend this across the product line?" because THIS looks GOOD. This looks like OLD HONDA.

I have to agree.

[Numbersix]

The front end on the silver car is a definite improvement over the current/outgoing model.

Tail lights look very Genesis sedan-esque.

[koko12]

wow, interior looks straight out of the TL.

you mean TSX, which is good thing IMO because the TSX has a really nice interior.

[AKADriver]

Yeah.. that looks PROPER. It looks like a JDM CF4/CL1 from the front.



The past two gens of US Accord just had some element of awkwardness to them. Like they could never get the rear end of the '03-'07 right, after a number of facelifts (asslifts?). The headlights on the current one look like they belong on a different car.

[randy]

Current gen Honda Accord does not have 60/40 split rear seat. If the new 2013 does, then this Accord will be my first foray into Japanese car ownership.

Nice job there Honda! Love the rear 3/4 view!

Yea, it sucks that pretty much every car I like doesn't have split folding rear seats.

I hope Acura follows suit with the new design language, I'm liking that front end a lot. Back could still use work though, the tail lights should be much more sleek and smaller.

[maskedSONY]

Hopefully they've figured out a way to make the front seats more comfortable.

I have a solution for this: Use the seats they installed in the EX-L from the 7th generation. Those were perfect.

I think some of the lines on the dashboard could have been smoothed out better, as the transition from gauge cluster to center screen seems a bit odd in parts.

But I'm nitpicking, these pics look like good signs for Honda.

When did the Koreans start designing Hondas?

When did the Koreans start designing Hondas?

Right around the same time Koreans started stealing Japanese designs.

Oh now this is looking pretty nice. Hopefully Honda is getting back on form. Fingers crossed.
