Location: New Plymouth | Will be interesting to see what the JDM and NZDM versions looks like. At the moment the NZDM V6 Accord is a JDM Inspire, but if they're offering a 3.5L V6 in the Accord chassis then maybe just maybe, we'll see a true V6 Accord of the same shape as the other models. |

Location: Pauatahanui | Sonata Front, BMW E60 (current 5 series) rear. The coupe just wouldn't sell in NZ. New Accord Euro should be much nicer.

Location: Auckland | Hmmm not bad, but yeah...sonata is pretty close and some camry elements in it. But I can live with it. After all, automotive design is pretty much stealing other design and make it better. So yeah...everybody can do design really.  Those are USDM accord tho right? I wonder the new look of the Accord Euro... |
