2008 Honda Accord Sedan Spyshots
May 15, 2007 by Alborz Fallah
When spyshots make it to the net, it only takes a matter of a week at most for them to spread around the world. Thanks to an anonymous tip, we have got our hadns on some photos of the 2008 Honda Accord.
From what the current predictions say, the vehicle in the spy shots appears to be the 4-cylinder version. The Honda Accord V6 is expected to boost power levels significantly with some reports suggesting it will have around 209kW.
The V6 engine is also expected to use cylinder-cut technology (shutting down two cylinders when cruising) to improve fuel economy. The new accord is expected in American showrooms in September.
Australian release date is still unconfirmed. There is also no spy shots of the new Accord Euro.

What a borring uninspiring car, looks out-dated!
Oh its not too bad,
I think the Euro version when it comes out will look far better.
“What a borring uninspiring car”, yup i’d have to say it looks like a boring car made by bored people from planet bored! It makes the camry look exciting.
What will be interesting will be the engine, Honda seem to be turning up the heat on Toyota. The new CRV has beaten the new RAV4 in most reviews, So how will this fair against the new Camry?. But i’m surprised Honda don’t already have a Dual VVT engine.
Looks like the Accord designers were looking at the current BMW 5 series a little too hard with this design!
Hopefully this is the US “wide body” version and not the Euro version.
It looks a lot like BMW 5 series (except the back – which reminded me of Hyundai Sonata).
This is definitely not the new Accord Euro as the front looks very similar to the Honda Accord coupe (US version) which was on display at a recent motor show.
I wouldn’t call it boring. Hondas usually look better in life than in “spy” shots. As pointed by Lazybones, lets hope the engine is a cracker!
I personally think this car looks mory classy than new Camry. The Camry has too many distracting curves and lines.
I agree JB,
it should look better when it is completely unveiled. It is good to see the curves and line are constant throughout the design. From the back the Camry’s boot looks like a jigsaw puzzle piece with the random disjointed curves.
Looks so american*
*by american…. bland and cr@pol@ !!!
it looks like the toyota aurion, i hate the rims, hopefully thats the shi*ty american version.
For some reason, the carmakers have been looking at the BMW 5-series for design inspiration. VW’s new Passat looks like the BMW as well.
My opinions could change if I see it in person, but right now I’m not impressed.
What ever happen to the designers of the old civics, preludes, integra. They still look sharp today.
What happen to their creativity and their cohesive design forms.
Why dont they keep that essential characteristic but continue evolving the design such as MERCs and BMW have done instead of ditching it and adopting a hot pot of different designs (derivative).
I am a honda fan, but these days their engineering and design creative are not up to their golden period. So unfortunate.
it looks like bmw 5 series
its very nice amazing
Hey guys it looks FAR better than the bulky mums mobile they had to 2007.
I still have a honda civic GLi which i have driven 320 000 km and looks far better than the shit civic shape of now.
who needs such BULK? and the 2007 civic and SPORTS ..you have a huge BUMP in yr face when you try to look over the dashboard to the road! no i am not short and i lifted the seat…it stuck my nose on the screen…
I WANT A HONDA…. GIVE ME ONE THAT DOESNT LOOK LIKE A BUS !!!!! (only from japan of course) oh and why arent these cheaper given the yen is screwed?
