Officially Official: 2008 Honda Accord Coupe & Sedan Revealed

Love the front, just not so crazy about the short and slanted back.

The back is a little too 'Nissan' for me.

Wow. I was surprised to see 16 mpg "City" for the V6 model. In real world driving this figure like all EPA estamates will be less

Front on both look like combinations of the Element and Ridgeline. Rear on both are just horrible. It's a shame considering I've always admired the Accord. Tan interior in the sedan is stunning for its class though.

Just to clarify. All 2008 model's feul efficency ratings have been recalibrated by the EPA. That rating may be an increase over last year, but if you read closer, the rating with the VCM is 19/29 which is a vast improvement over last year with an increase in power. Well done Honda.

I think the Coupe looks great, but they missed it with the sedan design. It needs a longer wheelbase. I think that would give it a much better look, of course thats copying BMW styling cues. There are worse things in life than taking some advise from BMW, some of the best looking sedans in the world.

Absolutely Stunning for the expected price range it will be competing in. This is just a lot of car for that money and that is what sells!! At $30K, there are not too many cars that are offering so much....and a V6.

I am getting one in December. I will test drive one when its ready and in showrooms.

Look at the fit and finish of the interior. Its just fantastic and very Honda. They are going to sell tons of these.

No A/c ducts in the rear? Even the Rabbit has those at $15K. Any new car today has to keep that. It used to be a luxury car feature....now its supposed to be common.

Maybe it'll look better in person.

Still trying to figure out the V6 w/cyl deactivation. BTW, it gets 19/29 MPG & 268 HP.

From Edmunds/inside line:
"But Honda has thrown itself a curveball for 2008 by using a variable cylinder management (VCM) system on all V6-powered sedans. The VCM system can run the optional new 3.5-liter V6 on six, four or three cylinders, depending on driving conditions. Six is for uphill climbs and accelerating. Four-cylinder operation is for expressway driving. And the Accord becomes a three-banger for relaxed city cruising/coasting."

They also said this V6 was smoother than Toyota's & Nissan's V6s. Interesting.

I like it. Its good looking enough. Probably quick enough and the interior is nice enough. It'll be a good car. T

Honda again wins the horse power race. The sedan is starting to definetly look like the Rl, the front has to go though. Personally I don't care about the car this just lets me know for sure the new TL will have a 3.5 liter producing 300+ hp and as long as it has nothing to do with this design i'm happy.

The Breeding program between the Saturn Aura and BMW 5er has gone terribly wrong. Just back away slowly.

Accord coupe looks better than the Altma coupe, but the Altima sedan looks better than the Accord sedan. The interior in the Accord is a class leader.
