I hope it has direct injection. And it's RWD. But I highly doubt that.

Not liking. Looks too Euro to me. I like Euro looks ... on Euro cars. But, Honda has had it's own distinctive style that I've liked alot and this car misses. That said, it's better than the last Accord design which was too plain.

Beautiful. It needs to have either RWD or SH-AWD for me to consider it though.

I would agree, I would definitely consider one if it had around 300hp I like Honda more than infiniti but it needs some balls in the V6.

Yeah... except for the side indent things... and the whole side in general, the form is totally different... and the grill is huge on this, and small on the bmw, and the headlights aren't anything like the bmw either, neither is the hood, or the proportions of the whole vehicle, or the taillights or bumper treatements...but other than that, it's a dead ringer!

From the front, it looks Volvo to me:

I thought of a more angular Scion tC when I first saw it.

Back I don't like so much.

Labled as a concept - So I'm guessing it would be like a 09 or 2010 model if they decide to go forward with it?

It'd be nice with at least 300HP... and be in the same price range as the current ones... < 30K(??). Of course, I'm guessing by that time, 300HP would be pretty "common".

Scion tC was my first thought as well. I haven't liked the last few Honda lines. They lost their identity over the last 5 years in my opinion. Not too fond of this one either. The back does look like a G35 as well now that they mention it too.

Apart from both having projector beams, no, not really. Lots of cars have headlights with projectors. Look at the mazda 6. The acura TL. Tons of them have headlights similar in shape, but sorry, they don't look like BMW lights to me at all.

I'm not liking the headlights, nor the Ridgeline-like grill.
Otherwise, nice car.

Last time I checked, Hondas were Japanese. Looks like a Ridgeline to me. No likey. Not as elegant as the previous Accord coupe.

Not an ugly car by any stretch of the imagination. I'll be keeping my eye on that one.
