Gire Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 As a guy who's owned 4 Honda Autos in the last 15 years, I am excited about these designs. Bringing some passion back to the line! The NSX is going to be very exciting. Does anone else see the Accord resembling the Dodge Charger from the front 3/4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWD_Rules3830 Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 i would guess its going to be the best 80K (Estimate) Ferrari beater ever made I love my car ... basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 All of those are concept cars. I'll reserve my opinion until I actually see the real deal. X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 i would guess its going to be the best 80K (Estimate) Ferrari beater ever made They're saying that about the new Supra coming too.... but the new Skyline is specing to be a complete beast. That Nurburgring video of the skyline was pretty awesome. The Skyline will fall into the M5 / RS6 territory whereas the NSX and (I think) Supra will fall into Gallardo and F430 pure sports-car territory. -Going to be damn hard to beat an F430 though... it makes the old 360 look like a Buick.

AWD_Rules3830 Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 Its funny how honda is just bypassing the V8 and going straight to the V10 lol. I love my car ... basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOXRPWR Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 those are both very handsome and distinctive designs. that NSX concept is wicked scary looking. bad-ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyd2005 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 They got thrashed for putting a V6 in the RL. Must be overcompensating now. Hope it's not too heavy or too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take that Buick over a Skyline / Supra / NSX any day. Might not be as fast but it's still a Ferrari Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyd2005 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 There's going to be a lot of good choices in the next two years. Just in time for my mid-life crisis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWD_Rules3830 Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 To be honest i haven't be this excited about Honda since the S2000. I love my car ... basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I'll take that Buick over a Skyline / Supra / NSX any day. Might not be as fast but it's still a Ferrari True True. I still remember the first time I saw a 360 parked in a real-world setting. I must have stared at the rear carbon diffuser and engine for 5 minutes.

Jim_KT Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Good for Honda! I'm glad to see and read that they have these concept designs. About the most risque mainstream look they have going for them is the new Civic. Then again, if the new Civic has been so well accepted by the consumer, their thinking might be that these new designs will be as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous1 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 The Accord looks awesome, the NSX looks like something out of Demolition Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 the accord looks really nice, but im sure it will stil be FWD and thats why it will suck and i will never buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravisS Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 It will be very interesting to see if Honda actually keeps the styling elements when it moves from concept to reality. With the Accord coupe being intended to replace the Prelude, it's about time they start giving it a little more aggressive styling. Rumors say it will have a 280 HP V6 as well. what a waste to being that honda makes such great transmissions. And some terrible ones, the automatics. But yeah, their manuals are some of the best around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguin Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 The Accord has too short a hood on it to have proper GT proportions, which is just as well since it will be FWD. It almost resembles an Audi TT in it's proportions, except the flow of the car is more angular than rounded. The Acura looks as if it were pirated off of a current Cadillac concept vehicle. That is not a horrible thing, as Cadillac's new design language is pretty good, but it would be nice to see the Japanese come up with something orriginal for once that wasn't hideous. I give both efforts D-'s for lack of originality, and copy-catting others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Too clinical and soulless for me. Getting closer to good design, but something is still too appliance-like and slab-sided for me. The NSX replacement is kinda strange with the c-pillar, and the odd shape in the rear hatch area, and the Accord coupe is just somehow too blocky. The four exhaust ports are odd, too. Jag C-XF, Aston V8 Vantage, Porsche 997, or F430 for me, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
