Unpopular opinion but I really like this gen’s exterior design, peak Accord even. Thank heavens this isn’t Reddit or I would immediately be stoned by the hivemind lol.

    The last generation Accord looked fantastic. No idea why anyone could possibly hate it.

    This new one looks so insanely boring that they should have labeled it the Metalonin Edition.

    Honda has absolutely lost all their former mojo. It’s sad to see.

      The prior version of the accord and civic (especially the civic) both suffered from being overdone. Big globs of fake chrome, oversized front grilles, fake vents everywhere, stupid spoilers, unnecessary folds & creases in body panels, goofy-shaped tail lights….

      It was all too much. They looked like they were designed by hyperactive teenage boys to appeal to hyperactive teenage boys.

      I’m glad if they look a little more “boring” (what you call boring I call mature and refined). Something an adult can drive without embarrassment.

      You can do sporty/edgy/flashy without overdoing it (ie: Mazda). Honda overdid it with the previous gen. A step backwards was the correct move.

      But hey, maybe I’m just boring. I do like my stock Jetta!

      What ever happened to the 9th gen accord design? Much closer to classic accord styling. The 7th gen was a departure, and the 8th kinda steered back, but 9th gen accord is peak accord design IMO.

      It’s much more reminiscent of the 6th gen and older designs. 10th gen is good, but definitely different.
