Coming soon to a mall near you... August 22, 2007, 10:05:20 AM ...presenting the all-new 2008 Honda Accord coupe and sedan:Full article and more lovely photos:http://jalopnik.com/cars/new-cars/2008-honda-accord-revealed-291565.phpLooks like a new Chrysler Sebring:I'm sure Chrysler will be pleased.On one hand, it's so satisfying to see the once-high-and-mighty take a huge fall. On the other hand, that only makes Toyota stronger in this market segment.Either way, I just threw up in my mouth a little.Thoughts? Quote Selected

The rest is hideous.I agree, on the coupe from the B-pillar forward it's not too bad, but the rear 1/2 of the car is not appealing to me at all.The door handles look a little "heavy" too. Nice interior though.Eric, your right on about the similarities of the two sedans from that angle. Brent Quote Selected

Coming soon to a mall near you... Reply #14 – August 22, 2007, 01:34:50 PM They're all just lumpy potatoes now. No charisma to most of the designs. If you notice, the only vehicles that stand out are the ones that have stayed true to their roots:- Porsche- Mercedes- BMW, to an extent- Lamborghini- Hummer (yep, I said it)- Corvette (at least with the C6)Overall I think Ford is doing okay...their designs are different enough, and not much is awkward anymore. I like what Mercury has done to make their vehicles more un-Ford-like. They still need a hit, though. Lincoln...hard to say. I like the MKZ a lot, unsure about the MKX and LT pickup. Sadly, Ford is doing many good things but nobody out there seems to notice, aside from car reviewers and fans. The only car you hear about is the Fusion, and they're trying like hell with the new Taurus now. Time will tell. It does seem that Ford isn't as dire as they were, say, a year ago...but let's hope they've got more distinctive stuff in the pipeline.I'd really hate to be a car designer right now. Quote Selected
