2013 Honda Accord Coupe Concept - 2012 Detroit Auto Show - CAR and DRIVER

[G0Far]

Honda has their game going again! This is a very nice car. If they do decide to continue the NSX, introduce the ILX, and have this design coupe Accord, then WOW!

[SwingKatt1]

The only reason why people think it looks like the optima is the honey com grill. Which the accord had in 08 and 09 in the coup model. This Accord will be lower, Have a more powerful v6 and will weigh less. And with the current 6 speed doing like 5.6 Second zero to 60s. I think 5.4 seconds isnt asking to much. BUT fuck it make it rear wheel drive and slap a v8 in there.

[Blackgam3r]

Why would anybody purposely imitate the Optima. This must be a coincidence.

[cardude1992]

new malibu has a better design. wth honda!

[cardude1992]

front sucks.

[cbdallas1]

A new 2.4 D.I. 4 cylinder @ 181hp. Kia Optima = 2.4 D.I. 4 cylinder @ 200hp. What's up, Honda?

[MrLancer918]

This car is UGLY...WTF are you doing Honda? Honda & Acura designs for the past several years have really let me down :(

[MrLancer918]

Honda? WTF? This is ugly as Sin.....yet another disappointment after seeing the Acura ILX.....even American cars are becoming more appealing

[MrMorselady]

despite honda looks, THEY BUILD THE BEST PRODUCTION CAR YOU CAN BUY PERIOD.

[Acc0rd79]

@phlemTARD I agree, had 4 Hondas but I dont even look to buy them anymore. My eyes are looking at Nissan and Hyundai, I was shocked by Hyundais cars as of late.

[Rydo182]

Dubious of CVT, why?

[V10ViperSRT]

Looks great, I'll take one.

[maskedgunman]

Not bad at all, but Acura (3 NEW vehicles--one I want to buy, one the neighborhood moms will LOVE to buy, and one I want to fuck if I can find a way) stole the show. Poor Accord.

[kunal1223]

Why are the videos not available on mobile?

[mirdif3034]

ITS LOOK LIKE G37

[mario1023]

Awesome!

[alvaaddict]

It's swoopy? ...

[KINGXKRKR]

إذا ما شريتهآ ما أكون شليويح

[nappiral]

wow 181 hp 4 cyl Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........

[JeremyFuhenstasser]

@nappiral

200+ hp. MORE than 181 hp. a LOT more

[rlawlsgh]

The rims look like Kia Optima. I still love Honda :)

[hannas1234]

Anyone else notice that the 'spoiler' body line on the trunk and quarter panel don't line up?

[DrMCP81]

@hannas1234 Oh no! It's the Ridgeline all over again.

[smackzeus]

bout time!

[EmmThree]

180 hp?? How dare you insult me!!! Like I would spend 30k for a fully loaded car w/ 180 hp lol.. Honda has fallen. There compitition offers turbo 4 cylinders making close to 270hp and v6 engines making at least 300 hp and even Hyundai w/ a 428 hp 32v v8....Honda= pathetic

[ClementKor]

@EmmThree >Fully loaded

>I4

Bro you are so wrong.

Fully loaded means fully loaded. So that means V6.

The I4 will cost in the low to mid 20s.

300HP?

NONE of the competition is at 300HP.

Turbo 4 cyl?

K, cool.

They won't last as long as this V6, and they get similar mileage. Big woop.

[duleym]

where's the turbo??? not impressed. :( 4 honda

[suprahmed]

CVT..  meh. typical Accord buyer probably wouldn't notice anyway. at least it saves the rest of us a little gas.

[caos285]

It looks like the Optima but I think it looks more clean and better done.

Btw,, it needs black front fenders and hood. It also needs a bike rack, green rims, and umm, a bigger muffler. Oh, and some stickers!!! Than, it'll be tight!

Haha, I;m kidding BTW.

[ElBrillante4]

@caos285 haha i hope so. i cringed at that description you gave...lol

[staiifresh502]

can the camera blur in and out anymore? shit

[sparkybluefox]

HONDA: FIRE THIS GUY! For Petes sake! Find someone who can SELL cars!

For shits sake hire me (as a twice Honda owner) to represent Honda as the awesome car manufacturer that you are!

For fucks sake! at least find some lovely ladies or something to present your cars!

SBF

[w140king]

@sparkybluefox he doesnt work for honda he works for C&D

[italiankilla58]

i like the design of the car but it looks a little to much like the optima. Great job on the tail light though

[HamadaLFC8]

The back is pretty cool but the front is TOO MUCH like the Optima

[theriphraff]

@HamadaLFC8 and??? (not just you HamadaLFC8 but all the thumb uppers) is it not too gorgeous to consider that? maybe not...just asking.

[speedvaxer]

@HamadaLFC8 The front is simply a sleeker version of the front end of the previous Accord coupe. That body style has been around since the latter half of 2007. So if anything, the Optima looks like the accord.

[Hondaminican]

Japanese car companies aren't the superpower they once were back in the 90's... it's like Honda doesn't even try anymore... they finally add direct injection into the K24 and decide to use the fake I-VTEC head.. wtf?

[MrMK94]

@Hondaminican fake i-vtec? what?

[Hondaminican]

@MrMK94 There are 2 different types of I-VTEC.. the vtec head on the CRV isn't the same as the one on the TSX.. if this car is only making 180 hp then i would have to assume that its using the watered down vtec head that is on the CRV

[ClementKor]

@Hondaminican Fake I-VTEC?

What does that even mean...?

[Hondaminican]

@ClementKor See there are 2 diff. vtec heads for the k24.. one is on the CRV and its a very watered down version... the other is on the TSX and it has a bit umph.. raises the power to 201.. like people say: there is vtec and then theres VTEC..

[elementwong95]

This car looks too much like a Kia Optima... I love it though.

[gebuish]

this car is the best ford fusion

[StangBang35]

but wow this like a refresh compared to the Fusion

[Illmatic662]

The rear lights is sick, they nailed it.

[xtyson5]

under 100

[StangBang35]

looks like the kia optoma before its current redesign

[obscuresword]

@StangBang35 it looks like the old gen honda Accord Euro R from the front, mixed with the new Honda Accord from the back.

[supercoolname1]

nice car
