Yes...but I find that after seeing them for awhile, getting used to them on
the road and seeing them 'in context' with others, cars that initially might
not appeal to me suddenly may...and v.v.

Regardless, since my local dealer will be selling the new Accord at MSRP..no
bump-up (I asked directly about this last weekend) I would wait until
December 27th-30th to purchase, if I were going to. Probably, I would wait a
year or two, if I could. When I bought my '01 Civic EX Coupe in 12/00, I got
it at invoice ($ 14,895). But that first year it did not come 'stock ' with
the nice wheels, and two years later they made minor changes to the body
which I really preferred to mine ( tail-lights, bumpers, etc. )

Here's a question for everyone: would you forego a great car because its
styling didn't appeal to you? When I first saw the new generation Civic of
1996, I hated it. I bought a '97, anyway. Did I like the '03 Accord? Not at
all. I bought an '04, anyway.... I still don't care for the styling, but for
me it's a great car. (I admit I had considered the '04 Camry, but I didn't
like ITS styling, either!)

The belt line is straight from the Acura TL...but I'll bet that
running it though the fuel door added at least 200 to the cost. The
should have adapted the Coupe front facia to the Sedan, rather than
having that lower prutruding 'chin'. I've been anticipating the
arrival of these 08's....I hope the are more appealing on the lot than
in these pics...

Look at that rear quarter panel and bumper-- they look like they were
fabricated with a dull axe then shaped with a sledge hammer and a piece of
2x4. The lower lip on the front bumper looks like the lower lip on Bubba
from Forest Gump-- and groove above it was shaped by hitting it with a 2
inch steel pipe. Finally, the tilted beltline looks like the designer was
half snorked when he drew it.....and it cuts right through the fuel door.
Sheez!!

As they say, there's "no accounting for taste."  I like how it looks, and
like it better than any of the '03's through '07's. This is why there are so
many different brands and models.

The horsepower bump is nice.

But the sedan is butt-ugly-- looks like it was designed by some 20-something
California surfer boy with body-piercings and flames painted on the side of
his computer case....
