Looks awful. How did they go from a classy and expensive looking 2017 accord to this...the 2017 justjust looked so much more premium. This new one just looks like they made it ugly on purpose to sell more Acura TLX's

& they removed the CD Player...goodbye Honda.

To be fair, both generations look dull and heavy. I miss the old days.

I think it looks pretty good. Rear end is slung over like the Civic, which I find odd looking.

I'd definitely pick the new Camry over this.

What's so awesome about the engine?

I'd rather have a large NA V6 over a tiny turbocharged 4 banger. And the 2.0T has 22 fewer horsepower than the Sonota 2.0T that came out almost 10 years ago. (Not that I'd rather pick the Sonota - just pointing out the lack of anything notable).

Meanwhile you can get 325hp out of a 2.7 liter twin turbo V6 in the Ford Fusion Sport.

Were some of you guys actually getting excited over a new Accord?

Boring car bought by boring people. That's all it has been and ever will be.

I don't care that the Accord is an American car.

The tragedy is that the NSX is also.
