Honda's tradition of 'evolving' it's product line may be shifting to a more daring form of design. It is not known to be revolutionary, even with a rollout of a brand new 'reengineered' editiont. The changes are generally modest even with a latest version of a product. Save for the Accord Concept that was recently showcased at the Detroit Auto Show, This Honda seems to reflect a stronger commitment to the styling of our times, where theres a demand for showing, yet not overstating a flowing more flamboyant style. This not at the expense of performance, comfort and convenience.
While it doesn't look significantly different from the current Accord, when you give it a second glance, a close second glance, there are some significant details that 'pop'. Like rounded curves and a more flowing design that replace the Accord's earlier profile.
A much more muscular look that started to emerge in 2008, is now accentuated with the introduction of arching lines over the rear fender and the addition of a larger grille. The hood now bulges at the front, making the coupe look more muscular as if Honda is ready to flex it's muscles.
Honda's concepts are usually a clear indicator of what the production version will look like, though some of the wilder pieces on the concept car, such as the multi-reflector headlights and chrome-surrounded fog lights, won't likely make it to production.Are you ready for 20-inch wheels? Talk about 'something to crave', the concept car is equiped with 20-inchers that look surprisingly well proportioned to the body and wheel wells of this concept Accord Coupe. The concept's arching fender lines are a sleek addition to the very angular and straight-shooting current Accord coupe.
Look for the production version this fall.
