Off-topic: Actually most people thought the flame surfacing design(which was applied to the sides) was ok.
What people really hated was the bustle back design(aka Bangle Butt) and the weird front end design of the 7-series and 6-series, credit goes Adrian van Hooydonk.
People also didn't like the headlights of the 5-series, credit goes to Davide Arcangeli.
back to topic: Overall the new Accord looks ok.
Looks like Honda wanted it to be sporty & luxurious sedan. Even the faux wood trim on the V6 model was kept to a minimum unlike the higher Camry models.
About the cool VCM engine, not sure if I posted this already, but here's a video on how it works: http://www.honda.com.au/wps/wcm/conn...roadbandFLVUrlLast edited by AG4; March 12th, 2008 at 01:33 PM.

March 13th, 2008 10:22 AM #37after watching the VCM video, i don't think VCM would be of much benefit to filipino drivers, as the engine would switch to 4cyl mode only during high speed cruising, and 3cyl mode during low speed cruising. There are very few circumstances in MM where you can cruise continuously at a constant speed, and even then, its only for a very short stretches of road. The rest of the time we're just accelerating from a stop.

March 13th, 2008 09:02 PM #40Based on latest EPA fuel economy ratings for Camry & Accord:
2008 Honda Accord V6 sedan 3.7L 277hp EPA rating 19 mpg city, 29 mpg highway
2008 Toyota Camry V6 sedan 3.5L 268hp EPA city/highway driving: 22/31 mpg
I guess this reinforces my observation that VCM's benefits are really trivial
