Yeah, but it is not like other cars are not going to be available in 08.

Hopefully I'll get the same reaction as you do, the new Accord looks like a carton box from the photos.

According to Autoblog.com it may have already slipped that the Honda Accord is Motor Trend's 2008 COTY.

Has Ernie Boch Jr. let the cat out of the bag? Autoblog reader Jason tipped us that he heard a fleeting mention of the 2008 Honda Accord being Motor Trend's Car Of The Year during a commercial for a seasonal promotion at the national sales champ dealership. Could it be that Jason's sharp ear has uncovered Motor Trend's announcement traditionally made in November? Boch Honda's website mirrors the statement that Jason heard, as well, offering a "newly redesigned 2008 Honda Accord LX, Motor Trend's Car Of The Year" for a $198/month lease. Motor Trend, on the other hand, remains mum so far on its pick. The press always blows the automaker's embargoes, how meta is it that a dealer appears to have deflated the COTY balloon? We'll be giving Ernie a ring on Monday, stay tuned.

Very likely. I agree with you here. It'll all be about "Cadillac has come back" etc.

CTS might win as far as they are concerned, but if you ask me, out of that bunch, the S5 should win, imo...
