So ironic, the Honda Accord

Paul Watson

This is a car post... so run away screaming if you do not like cars. :) How ironic. I waffle on about my simple life, and then someone sends me a link to the new Honda Accord.[^] Dayum, that is schweet my china. I seem contradictory I know, but I am perfectly capable of wanting a beach hut as well as that car. That Accord has definite ancestors though. Strong Audi A4 lines with Alfa Romeo 156 details. You can see it in this photo.[^] It is definitey a Honda in front though :) Just to confirm though... I can resist things like this for the simple life :)

I was going on about the simple life and the near the end I get a link and am writing "I don't need all that stuff" while looking through the photo gallery of the Accord wanting one... :rolleyes: Any other day but this friday it would have been fine, but no, it comes today. lol

X| This reminds me of the new buick over here. All edgy and chunky and built to look imposing, not elegant. Back in Australia Ford bought out their AU Falcon [^]that was based on their 'Edge design' and it was a flop. Whatever happened to the smooth curves of the early 90's? :( cheers, Chris Maunder

Chris Maunder wrote: All edgy and chunky and built to look imposing, not elegant While I like elegant, elegance does not suit all cars. A Mitsub EVO for one is not elegant, an elegant EVO would be laughed off the road. This Accord is meant to be impossing, meant to say "See the next lights? I will get there and back before you have even got into second and I have a small p..." Chris Maunder wrote: Whatever happened to the smooth curves of the early 90's? I like having various design themes. Swoopy, curved stuff for the high-end sports cars. Q car box look for EVOs. Impossing and chunky for status cars like the BMW or Accord.

You want one of the new S-Type Jag's - now they are *nice* (if a little excessive for trips to the supermarket). ** Dave drools **

I test drove both the V6 and the 4, they were pretty sweet. Both fully loaded leather, GPS, etc..... I would have bought one, except my credit sucks right now, so I'm keeping my Civic for a bit longer. Hopefully, next year, I'll be in better shape. :) Enjoy! BW "Gandalf. Yes.
