Spring Moderator June 28, 2017 Share June 28, 2017 This more the American version I think whilst ours is the Thai version so likely it will be quite different? This American version looks like Civic upsized!! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidz 6th Gear June 28, 2017 Share June 28, 2017 Camry 2018 also looks exciting... but if MIT again then sian 1/2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic June 28, 2017 Share June 28, 2017 This more the American version I think whilst ours is the Thai version so likely it will be quite different? This American version looks like Civic upsized!! accord is globally the same model except for Europe or JDM. The Thai version is exactly the same as what's found in USA or Taiwan. I find this front look looks like just the civic. Anyway the FL one sorta looks like this already, so if this is a concept look, doesn't really excite anyone. not even me lol... Camry 2018 also looks exciting... but if MIT again then sian 1/2 my dad drove the MIT accord to scrap. Only some minor leaking/air con issues in the last 2 years of life. Similarly other than a short battery lifespan in my current one, i don't really care whether it's MIT. It's no different from MIJ. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I see, thanks for info! Honda following Benz, BMW etc with their same look but S, M, L size only. Won't be surprised if City or Jazz comes out next change with the same front look as well but downsized 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be surprised if City or Jazz comes out next change with the same front look as well but downsized well even the v6 accord is being shelved for a turbo IL4. Quite a pity as this V6 accord is supposedly one of the best V6 sedans in the US market. I would have thought they would have kept it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidklt 6th Gear June 28, 2017 Author Share June 28, 2017 Not just that. Honda used to have proprietary double wishbone suspension for all their cars. They have also scrapped this. All in the name of cost cutting. well even the v6 accord is being shelved for a turbo IL4. Quite a pity as this V6 accord is supposedly one of the best V6 sedans in the US market.

Davidklt 6th Gear June 28, 2017 Author Share June 28, 2017 I wasnt referring to this generation of Honda vehicles. The Accord CL7 is the last Honda with double wishbones I believe. And yes, it was joy to drive it. hmm odyssey, jazz, city and vezel never had independent rear suspension. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronKKB Clutched June 28, 2017 Share June 28, 2017 Why is it always the concept so nice then the real car like wtf... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic June 28, 2017 Share June 28, 2017 Why is it always the concept so nice then the real car like wtf... production costs. Also there's no need to consider safety/engineering obstacles in a concept car. Crumple zones? no need. Change engine block size? no need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidklt 6th Gear July 14, 2017 Author Share July 14, 2017 (edited) Looks weird. But abit of an A5 fastback. Interior looks good though: Edited July 14, 2017 by Davidtkl 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lala81 Hypersonic July 15, 2017 Share July 15, 2017 Nice, like a bigger version of the Civic. No gear stick!!! hope its turbo charged. It is. 2 TC engine variants and 1 hybrid. http://www.caranddriver.com/news/2018-honda-accord-officially-revealed-news Gosh. I dont like the front. But the back looks ok. I agree it looks like some progeny from a audi sportback and the civic LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrashanthSP 1st Gear July 15, 2017 Share July 15, 2017 I still think the 2018 Camry looks better but Honda is not doing too bad. 1.5T with 192hp and 260 Nm of torque which is pretty freaking impressive. Would've been perfect it came out earlier, before the VES. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic July 15, 2017 Share July 15, 2017 the 2.0T with the 10 speed auto. Yum yum. but likely to be flagship price here in SG... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendstar Supercharged July 15, 2017 Share July 15, 2017 10 speed auto seems overkill. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
