+Random Stranger Subscriber¹ Posted July 15, 2005 Subscriber¹ Share Posted July 15, 2005 (edited) this is old news but i have not seeing it posted. and since a lot of people like honda i think they might be interested of what is coming to the best selling family sedan http://www.vtec.net/news/news-item?news_item_id=362191 the front remains mainly unchanged, besides a slight grill modification. but in my opinion they did a good job at the read. LEDs are good and design, while very conservative, does look like it fits with the rest of the car. it is a major improment from the current one :x whacha think? the sedan will also be available with 6speed manual transmission (first for honda) (guess hotlinking the images is not working, so here it is as attachment) Edited July 15, 2005 by panacea Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/344418-2006-honda-accord/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
-hurley18 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 (edited) so the new accord sedan would look similar to the current accord coupe? nice Edit: btw the back looks very similar to the new Mitsubishi Galant Edited July 15, 2005 by )(RockerBoy Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/344418-2006-honda-accord/#findComment-586215284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Stranger Subscriber¹ Posted July 15, 2005 Author Subscriber¹ Share Posted July 15, 2005 Edit: btw the back looks very similar to the new Mitsubishi Galant 586215284[/snapback] no not really. i think i know the once you are talking about. but the only similarity would be the LEDs. otherwise the galant lights are all angular and more square.

xxkrnxstylezxx Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Looks like a mix of the current gen and the '95 accords. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/344418-2006-honda-accord/#findComment-586215686 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Random Stranger Subscriber¹ Posted July 15, 2005 Author Subscriber¹ Share Posted July 15, 2005 This its the one i was talking about: yeah i figured. the one i saw actually had led lights (maybe an option from mistubishi? or maybe it is same as you picture, but looks diff in person) but i did not post the side view of accord, which shows they are not really similar. galant is really ugly in my opinion. not too keen on the square look of front headlights.

acoustikrage Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 i'm liking the new rear end, but the front still needs some work. it's looking a bit unproportional.

dreamz Veteran Posted July 15, 2005 Veteran Share Posted July 15, 2005 it's an improvement over the current accord sedan, but i like the accord coupe. if they could make the sedan with that rear end, it'd be awesome.

kombolcha Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 i just noticed something the other day.. why is that almost ALL asian vehicles front tires are closer to the door and almost all european cars' tires are pushed away from the doors.. and american cars tend to be in the middle..

San Diego Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 They're always into changing the design of their cars and sadly as of late, they're starting to make them look just like the Acura's they also make. Why have 2 brands if they're going to be very similar in looks? Blah.

+chorpeac MVC Posted July 21, 2005 MVC Share Posted July 21, 2005 Nah....they need to "redesign" the outside of this car...it's too similar. I mean...give the poor thing a facelift!

spIdeZ Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 You guys are crazy, I think the accord one of the best looking practical sedans out there. Way better than the crap most companies push out.

Darkluminaz34 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 It looks even more bloated now... Camry and the Accord just keep putting on the pounds. Style wise it is very generic and boring. I would never consider an appliance like this as my daily driver. It is just another boring car to blend in at the wal-mart parking lot..
