Engine looks ok. That concept front end, not so much. Strangely, the concept also looks a little cab-rearward. Which doesn't make a lot of sense seing as how compact that 4 cylinder is. Honda designers have been smoking a little too much happy vape-juice over the last 8 years.

If Honda's designers can only be this restrained. This render will be closer to the final if the artist adds 16 faux vents with fake plastic honeycomb backing and a sea of piano black. Seriously though, this concept look is closer to a Kia Stinger than the current accord. Coin toss on the actual result.

It's just an even larger Civic that resembles a Crosstour.

I just watched the turbo engine features video, did anyone notice the sodium filled exhaust valves?
I wonder what compression ratio they are using. Any of these new Honda/Toyota motors seems like they could be very nice swap candidates into an older car in a few years as they are getting significantly lighter than the engines from 10 years ago and much more powerful.

Well actually they just keep getting bigger and bigger again.
Long, LONG way to go before they reach what they once were.
