I think they haven't released any specs or any info yet.
But to give you a basic idea of the ASEAN Accord, check out Honda Thailand's website.
http://www.honda.co.th/accord/tvc_en.html
We'll most likely get the 2.4 and 3.5 liter models only and not the 2.0 liter model.
Of course there's probably a 95% chance that some standard features listed in the Thai website won't make it here, it usually happens...
Anyway lets wait and see.

If I had the new Accord, the first thing I'd do is take out the front bumper, get a can of flat-black spray paint and cover up the front intake's "teeth" (below the license plate). Why Honda had to color-key such a thing, I have no idea.

Otherwise it's a real looker.

I've noticed this is the second iteration of the Accord which has polarizing styling. Translation: It's either you like it or you don't.

That one bar across the front intake/airdam?

By the way, in Thailand Honda is offering a Modulo Kit similar to the one on the JDM Inspire.

Yep!

Actually, if you looked closer or had a bigger picture of the Accord's front clip, the "lone horizontal bar" is intersected by five or six vertical ones. All of those are the "teeth" I'm referring to.

Short of cutting those out, I think flat-black paint will make them "disappear."
