Honda has put its Sports 4 concept on display at the Australian International Motor Show here, hinting at the future look of Honda sport sedans.



The concept appears to be a strong indicator of what the next-generation European-market Accord will look like. It is notable for a low-slung body and an ultramodern cockpit featuring a blend of metal, wood and leather.

The Sports 4 is a four-passenger vehicle with four individual bucket seats and personal "skyroofs" that each passenger can control separately from seat-mounted controls. Mechanically, the concept has all-wheel drive and a five-speed sequential automatic transmission.

headlights resemble the MDX, which in no way is a bad thing. honda / acura have had great new vehicle designs.

I agree. Should also be super-handling AWD, not sure if they are also using the RDX turbo motor or if it will stay normally aspirated.

This is a fuel-cell powered show car.

Never mind that last comment- I saw an article with the next-gen Honda FCX in Autoweek, which looked a lot like this, but it was a different car. In the same weird maroon color!

If this car makes it to market and it is AWD, then I think we may see some decent power behind it.

(MDX's 3.7 V6 300hp???)

Golfer-they might use the turbocharged 4 in the base model, but the current Accord V6 offers 240 horses...so I think the next gen will have 300.

That V6 would make a lot of sense. However, a 300hp TL would make the RL pretty much obsolete, especially if it had AWD. There's barely any noticeable size difference between the two.

in the europe market, the biggest engine is a 2.4. no super or turbo anything. it is not a performance car.

Funny, other companies tend to debut their design themes in their big cars and move down.

Honda seems to do the opposite. Last gen Civic to Accord, Current Civic to this (if its the next Accord). New gen RDX to MDX.
