good find sidindica . (as always)

i like the first picture of front end along with shape of both bumpers.

EDIT: who is Mr.A?

Looks like the aggressive front end has been smoothened out and made a bit tamer, looks a bit like the prev gen accord too from the front.

singh.amrit · 3rd January 2011, 02:48

Maybe you should watermark better, so that someone cant just chopoff the bottom of the pic and use it.

Excellent scoop .

M00M · 3rd January 2011, 02:56

now lets hope the features increase on par segment

sidindica · 3rd January 2011, 09:55

This is a 2.4 with

new double chrome front grill
new three part deeper chin and air dam
subtle new front bumper
turn indicator on OSRVM
new taillight lenses and chrome strip below the decklid taillights
subtle change to the rear bumper
new urban titanium colour

Hope that essential features like bluetooth connectivity and trip computer will be added soon. Launch date is unknown.

Nice scoop sid.

I hope Honda dont screw up by inflating the price by half a lac for the mentioned features. And whats this.......no sunroof yet on a 20L+ car?

fx45 · 3rd January 2011, 12:19

face-lift seems very subtle, hope LED tail-lamps are included.. good scoop as always

sunroof is there in the current V6, the facelifted V6 will continue to have it.

Swell. The most noticeable is the change in the grill. Hard to comment right now, as the existing one is also very desirable

The lower part of the front, seems very audi-ish. But why such a minor facelift so fast. Why not wait for sometime and do a complete makeover

Nice scoop ! The car seems to have tamed down in appearance with the new smoothened headlights. I presume the colour shown above is the urban titanium colour which is definitely a feast to the eyes and adds to the grandeur of the car.

From angular at the front, it's become a little roundish. Seems to give a very Toyota'ish look IMO. Any one else thinks so? I like the present one more.

GTO · 3rd January 2011, 13:46

For a second there, I was scratching my head and wondering where the facelift is! A casual glance won't reveal anything. Either ways, what Honda really needs to do is add crucial equipment to a sensible luxury barge.

Completely agree with you. The Accord lacks basic features for a 23L luxury sedan.

Steering mounted audio controls, xenons, bluetooth, MID should be standard on the Accord for that price bracket.
