And I might add that in top EX-L trim it looks a whole lot better on the road than I would have ever expected. I mean when the pictures first broke on the net it looks horrible, but that isn't the case when decked out.

I think the new Accord looks absolutely terrible, especially from the rear, where it looks like a Saturn. The details in the taillights had me thinking, what were they thinking. The front looks like a Hyundai also. I am convinced Honda does not know how to design cars. They are going to completely redesign the rear of this car just like they did with the previous generation.

Interesting point of view there. I thought it looked more like the Accura line.
Def more upscale than the typical Accord look.




Naturally I want the C-Class to win here. Looks like the BMW 3-Series didn`t make the cut in the forerunners.
