I had a chance to see 2008 coupe and sedans yesterday at the dealership. They were both black. I know that taste is something very personal, but I have to agree with you: compared to 2007 new accord looks much worse. Very "aggressive", much smaller-looking car. I have 2004, silver - I like a lot how it looks like, I like 2007 even better because it reminds me much smoother and slimer 2002 and if I could afford it I would make a switch for 2007... But 2008 - not apealing at all. Especially not black. One interesting thing I noticed what the door edge guards looking like a piece of tape in the color of the body paint. With the name "stealth" and the price $99 it was pretty funny, but maybe practical. Especially for coupe with much larger, easy to scratch doors. Do you guys know any cheaper alternative? But not as cheesy as electrical tape? :-) Duct tape would not be looking good either, however it would match my silver paint :-) |

I noticed the same thing when driving by a dealership yesterday. Car looks smaller, but is in fact much larger. It's even moved up a class in size. For now, I much prefer my 2003, but I thought the same thing about the 1999 until I got used to the 2003. Now I think it's beautiful. Especially with the gold package. Maybe the 2008 will grow on me. The only thing I would like for the 2003 is the LED trunk lights in the later models. I hate the looks of the wing. Built into the trunk (ala Cadillac) is much nicer. Maybe I should get a 2007 while there are still some around. Dick -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

I would second that -- looks OK. Of course, since I have an 0-6 Accord coupe I4 I have no reason to buy new for quite some -- perhaps when the next generation comes out. We will likely replace my wife's 0-3 Pilot next year with the last of the current model when the price ought to be down. |
