Ya, I think it looks like Honda just copied Mercedes exactly (more SL than CLK, I think) but maybe they look different in real life?

I think it looks alright though. Every manufacturer copies something from others. I only like the coupe, I don't like the sedan much.

Not really impressed, maybe the look will grow on me, like most of the new designs from honda have.

It's hard to tell from pictures though... I didn't like the RSX when I first saw pictures of it last year but after seeing it around in real life, it has grown on me and I'd have to say that it's a pretty good looking car now.

That review is bullshit. Sure, I can see why the guy is mad about Honda not living up to it's promises of a "sports sedan", and he mentioned that. But he doesn't need to cut down on them for everything else. He claims that the Altima handles better, but I find that hard to believe, seeing as the Altima is totally undertired with some crap ass Continental all seasons. I've driven a 3.5 Altima before, and the steering was way too light for so much power. It actually felt unsafe because the steering was so light. Just by offering better power steering, the Accord pimpsmacks the Altima.

And have you guys seen the interior of this car?? I think it's nicer than the TLs!

Some other inconsistencies:

-Last I checked, the new Accord uses Bridgestones, not Michelin Energys.

-He says the Altima is faster, but fails to mention that the Altima is only faster until 30 mph, where the Accord proceeds to pull on the Altima.

Maybe by the time I'm ready for a new car, I'll be over 25. The I can afford the insurance on a brand new EX-V6 Coupe. Anyone wanna buy a '99 Accord in 6 years? :rofl:

My dad and I think my car handles WAY better than my moms Passat. And my neighbour drove my Accord and his wife's new Altima 3.5SE, and told me mine handled better overall :dunno: I guess everyone has their own opinions. I know for sure, the Passats are way to heavy to be "good handling"

A Accord could kick a altimas ass any day. The Coupe is probably the way to go. It just looks betetr to me:thumbsup:
