7th Gen. Accord Sedan SOOO Ugly

[darkdaedra]

WTF were they thinking with the back of that car. It's the ugliest Accord ever made by far! In my opinion at least...

Here's the back. ewwwwww

I think is ok, but I like the 5th gens better.

My order of liking:
5th, 6th, 7th, 4th, 3rd

7th might go before 6th, but I'm not sure yet. I'd like to see one that's hooked up.

[darkdaedra]

I'm talking stock though.

The back of it is just disgusting!

[ShEaNy]

nothing wrong with 4ths accord!! :crazy: :paranoid: :o hehe anyway are there suppose to be pics or anything we can see? ive seen one up close at a dealership....didnt know what model..i didnt like the back end...even though the dual exhaust look saved its ass...:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: are u taking about one type in specific or just 2003 accord's in general....i think it was a the best version they had (Ex??)..

[darkdaedra]

I'll add a picture, one sec...

[darkdaedra]

I added it to my first post.

[darkdaedra]

dammit, i posted a long message in japanese and then it turned all the writing into weird symbols. that's annoying...

If you can read that, you are seriously way into Japanese shit... (like me;) )

Random symbols? :rolleyes:

Gee, what do they say?

[Accord Man]

it isnt that bad.. but the front could be much better..

My order : 5th, 6th, 7th tied with 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st.. ;)

[msvtec14]

I'm not a big fan of it at all. It looks like a rental car that you would get from a rental car place. The two door is a little better looking but I don't know who was thinking what when that car was designed. Does anyone know what is going on with Preludes?

[Civic_Time]

the four door is goofy looking but the 2 door ex is pimp lookin :)
Its got nice lookin dual exhaust and a good looking back end :)

they arn't making them anymore....from what i understand they are making a "new" prelude...but acura and honda are merging in the US in the next 2yrs so i think they will wait until everything is under Honda....:yes:

[darkdaedra]

The symbols said something about Honda Accords being cool but the new one sucking!:ricer:

[ebpda9]

i think the 7th gen is the uglies one yet. better have something classy for the 8th.

my accord pref: 4th gen, 5th gen, 6th gen, 3rd gen, 7thgen, 2nd and 1st

[Jufranpnoy]

aww man i got the new accord 4 door. at first i was pondering whether or not to get it. i wasnt really feeling the back either. but after taking it for a test drive, i wanted it. there is some shiet i dont like...its a bit longer and wider than my old accord. so it makes parking in boston a bit challenging. but i needed a new car and wanted to stick with honda. every day i am slowly liking it more and more....but everyday i am kind of wishing i got the V6

[ebpda9]

i drove the car, the v6 and i think it brakes fater than it accelerates. it drives nice and i think it's a step up from the previous generations but i don't like the shape of the car.

[LaNeVoVI]

yeah!!!!!! its all about the 5th gen =)
7th gen....omg i rather drive the 4th gen instead
but then.....the concept 1 the back looks pretty cool

[darkdaedra]

I'm sure you can change out the lights for something that'd look nice, add a body kit and the 7th gen will be crazy cool. Still, if I were to get a new Accord I'd definitely go for a coupe.

Thanks....hmm. If it comes out anything like the new Accord did, I'm going to be pretty pissed off. I was looking to buy a Prelude about a year ago and I just decided to keep my Accord because I would have lost all this money because my car's not worth as much as I owe on my loan. I kind of wish that I just did it.

[allaboutaccordz]

ugggggly, the ass end looks like a saturn

[AzN4LiFe86]

totally not cool..:loco:

no kidding. i think honda went on a big ego trip or something with the new cars.

I agree. I HATE the new larger emblems.

[trudesi]

I have a 7th gen exv6 sedan, and I know a lot of people think its ugly but its not bad in person, I do hope a good body kit and/or conversion comes out though. I have also noticed that the same people think the 4th and 5th gen accords are the most beautiful cars on the road... they look like small economy cars (not to mention how slow they are). After driving this car for a month, I can't believe anyone would compare it with the 6th gen (which is actually a decent car) let alone the 5th/4th gen! The handling and power have been improved to such a degree, its hard to think of it as a traditional accord. Everything from the chasis, engine, and suspension to the interior have been designed superbly, I havnt driven a car yet that gives me the same feeling except maybe the 3 series bmw and mbenz c-class.

[CordChief]

I agree that the new generation Accord sedan is not as nice looking as the coupe, but, as a family man, I'll stick with the sedan. Regardless of the rear end, it IS still a Honda, and it is redesigned, so give it some time.

[ebpda9]

as i said before i drove the 2003 ex v6 sedan, and it didn't feel like a beemer. it felt more likea lexus es 300, which seems to totally disconect you from the road. i agree the interior is a lot better than every accord made so far, but that sport feeling it's just not there.

[trudesi]

I meant to say that the way it all fits together, as a design comes, close to the bmw 3 series (obviously the purpose of each design is different respectively). I have a 6th (and 4th) gen too, and the 7th gen's handling is much more precise, it goes where u want it to. The 6th gen seems more "sloppy", high speed handling has changed too. Going 90+ in the 7th gen feels serene while I can't say the same thing about the 6th gen (and definately not the 4th gen!). Overall with the accord, I feel Honda has taken their cars to a new level.

High speeds feel great in the 5th gens though.

DAMN! Why sooo much hatin' on the 3G?

[darkdaedra]

I saw the ugliest one yet. It had a little extension coming off the trunk parallel with the road that somehow seemed to accentuate the fact that the lights don't look right at all. I've driven a 5th gen Accord and a 6th gen Accord. Although I don't know what the 7th feels like, I can tell you that with my manual transmission, I feel as one with the car and the road. I can't wait to add Eibach springs and Koni yellows. Then I will reach Enlightenment with my car.:ricer:

well the european and jdm versions will be the same

[ifeldwn02]

i like the 2 door version but if iwanted the 4 door i would have to wait until the acura version comes out just because it looks better and just because its supposed to be the same as the jdm version

[monkut]

yeah the japanese/euro 7th gen is really sweet looking. glad to see it coming here.
as for our 7th gen i really like the coupe even in all of its bigness, but the sedan doesnt look good to me. looks a lot like the new camry in its overall shape. and i hate bubbly looking cars.
honestly though there hasnt been an accord sedan that ive liked besides the 5th. the 6th gen sedan is one of the ugliest looking cars ive ever seen. most people say its more unorignal than anything, but i just hate it! just my personal taste of course

[CYBER PETE]

Hmmm...I think this car has tons of potential....just had the tint done a few days ago...20% all the way around...working on getting some 18" rims in the next couple of months. :D

I had the choice of getting a 2002 EX for cheaper than the 2003 LX and hands down after driving the 2003 I had to have it. With just the tinted windows alone this car is a real head turner.

i agree with the ridiculously oversized emblems being ugly, but take those off, and the 2 door doesnt look that bad

[pureVTECfun]

The rear end of the 03' Accord looks like the back end of an older infiniti J30.

[DjFrost]

Well............I tought that the new Accord was ugly........but then I went to the Nort American Auto Show in Detroit yesterday..........and I changed my mind......it's not that bad.........but I like the 2 door version better...........hehe once I got in it I did not want to step out ;) ;) ..........oh well for now I got my 6th gen Accord and I am happy with it..........but I think 7th gen Accords have potential

[eviljayr]

it looks like they took too much time on the driving feel of the new accord that they forgot about the design.
It seems like they took the lights from a previous civic, cut the top of the brake lights off of the 6th gen accord, put it together and it's a new accord!!!
The coupe looks alright, but when you look from the back, it seems very similar to a benz, at least in my opinion.
i feel the same about the celicas. took too much time on the front and chopped off the back.
