- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+54STOP CALLING THEM ***** "SPY PHOTOS"
nobody had to break into that parking lot under surveillance. There's no war going on. That's a ***** car sitting in a ***** parking lot. - SilkSteel, on 10/11/2007, -3/+49270 horses... straight to the wrong wheels.
- Rabite, on 10/11/2007, -5/+35It looks like every car that has ever been made.
- G_Raph, on 10/11/2007, -4/+29man oh man. This is one of the few cars of 2008 that actually looks marginally better than the '07 version (yeah I talking to you WRX designers for breaking my heart).
- AdamFromMyspace, on 10/11/2007, -5/+14I'm probably the only one that still likes the '98-'02s..
- Namco, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Spy photos? This is when the 2008s are SUPPOSED to come out.
- retrospect, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9I absolutely hate the grille. Nothing spectacular to me.
- bardamu, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9Looks like a Saturn Aura. As for the WRX comment I think the STI wagon looks decent but the WRX has been neutered.
- rhustang, on 10/11/2007, -3/+9yeah, man, can you believe the gall of these people, digging something they are interested in. losers!
- TheKricket, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7funny - i missed where they mentioned that in the article...
i thought this was posted because, you know, the accord is one of the most popular models...ever... - newsheatdotcom, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I'd say it looks more like the RL body style than the TSX.
- djSyndrome, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5"The current Accord is not all that efficient in terms of MPG."
Maybe not the V6, but the four-cylinder does pretty good for a car of its size. - madcaesar, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5amen.
- TheKricket, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4welcome to the way honda/acura have been doing business the last umpteen years - acura has the "high end" models, and then passes them down to honda when the model redevelopment year comes along
its the way its always been with that company - bencefeher, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5I am not alone then. Bring back the "bug-eye"!
- GoatMonkey2112, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5The current Accord is not all that efficient in terms of MPG. Except for maybe the hybrid version, which is not what they're talking about. The replacement for the hybrid is actually a diesel, which should get pretty good MPG. Also, this next Accord is going to have cylinder management to shut off 3 cylinders when cruising, so the mileage should be at least as good or better than the current Accord, even with more power.
- brufleth, on 10/11/2007, -0/+42004 Accord four banger gets no less than high twenties if I drive like a complete ***** around the city and easily gets mid thirties on longer trips. I agree, not amazing but remember that Honda always strives for best in class fuel efficiency.
- djSyndrome, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Because Acuras are sold as Hondas in the rest of the world; Acura exists as a 'brand' in North America because Honda wanted to sell higher-end cars, but didn't think it could get people into dealerships to spend the kind of cash necessary to bring one home.
- wrestlingnrj, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I would have to agree that the new WRX looks like complete ***** and I hope Subaru doesn't sell a single one so that they will be forced to bring back the "older" look.
- Nedlog23, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Wasted ponies.
- Pie_Man, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Most of you sods who are hatin' have never even driven any Accord. Yes the looks are plain vanilla, but they are all a BLAST to drive, have wonderful interiors, and are the most reliable vehicles on the road. You might say that they are not performance cars, but they do like 0-60 in 6-7 seconds flat -and- get 28+mpg. Heck, the V-6 5 speed ones are in the fives...would be faster if it weren't for traction.
Adjusted for inflation there isn't a sub $30,000 sports car made in the 70s or 80s (or 60s for that matter) that could touch these things. Damn I hate car snobs...everything they know is from a spec page of a magazine. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Haven't your heard? Spy is the new amazing.
- Error601, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6I'm still trying to figure out if these posts are a joke. You can't get much more "generic sedan" style than that.
- avisgoth, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6Introducing: Car. Produced by: Manufacturer.
- mehan, on 10/11/2007, -6/+8fugly
- brufleth, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Most of them drive automatic pick up trucks and their hand me down corollas. A manual Accord is actually a fun car to drive that doesn't empty your wallet on long road trips.
- mtxprime, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3UGLY
- IxE78, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Ugly car...
- enola, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Me, too. I prefer those styles to the newer stuff, actually.
- bardamu, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2djsyndrome
2008 STI Pick not photo shopped.
http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/25/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-and-mitsubishi-evo-x-previewed-by-road-an/ - funnylookinhat, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5but if he doesn't say "SUPER SPY PHOTOS ZOMG MACBOOKZ" it doesn't get dugg... :-/
- carlwinslow, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Decent power but still mind-numbingly boring and wrong-wheel-drive.
- winmywii, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5Looks too much like a lexus (is 250 maybe?), but I like it. At least it's better than the god awful civic. I hate the look of the new civic.
- cgreentx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Definitely a Saturn clone.
- ausfahrt, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2More HP doesn't always mean worse gas mileage. It's a newer engine and many new technologies or design improvements may have been used to make it more efficient, thus delivering the extra horses and possibly even better mileage. I know my mileage improved after doing many naturally aspirated modifications to my A4.
- mongrel, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I'm pretty sure I read on Autoblog that they'd be offering this as a high-gas mileage diesel - anyone else?
- chmcarro, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2It looks like an Acura TL.
- HRF1, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Lovin the red coupé
- bigredsplace, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2gas mileage for 270 HP is what?
I'll keep my 06 V6 6speed.
I'm curious if they're getting rid of the 4 door 6 speed? Manual is the only way to go, but I can't see 270HP to a FWD give you that much excitement. - Ibanezfoo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Make it RWD and I might consider it...
- jtsai256, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Well, I wouldn't call the TSX a "high end" model hand-me-down, quite simply because in Europe it IS the Honda Accord and they already share certain parts!
- PRlME, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1omg that ***** is ugly the lights the grill its ugly dude i can see the London Olympics logo next to it
- Sube6491, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2You all might say it's boring, but the previous gen Accords were amazingly fun to drive. I have a '91 and it is the most fun, tossable car I've ever driven. It's like a little puppy dog that wants to play all day. Now, I can't say the same for my dad's '99 V6... everything's stiff and tight, too hard to be playful.
- lateralus, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2It doesn't matter what anyone thinks...your streets will be flooded with these for the next decade.
- djSyndrome, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1That are chrome. WTF, is this an 80s GM car now?
- HouseofEl, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1While the pictures are great, this was just on the front page no more than four days ago. It's one thing to dupe a story that not everyone has seen, but this isn't cool enough to count.
- lateralus, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1yeah but does it have an iPod interface?
//sarc - dshPls, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Hybrids get 50mph when you keep the RPMs under 2750(around 60mph), and never use AC. You really need to skimp on all pleasures of driving to save. I just got a Civic that should be getting 38mph and I still get to enjoy fast pickups and leisurely driving.
- djSyndrome, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Every STI rendering you've seen so far has been pshopped. Subuaru has yet to release any pics or specs - they're coming at the Tokyo Motor Show.
- djSyndrome, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Um, did you check the second set of pics in the link? You did not!
