that is very nice.. but i doubt that will be the final look for the accord, or anything close to resembling that... it's too sporty for a "family sedan." I think they are going for a different audience with an accord, except with the 2 door.. but i could be wrong, u never know.. just my two cents.

Rep Power: 0 don't know about the pics but here some info on teh '03 accord from temple of vtec
I just got off the phone with xxxxxx who is the xxxxxx of Honda. He has confirmed that the new V6 engine will feature I-Vtec and be DOHC. He would not confirm HP or displacement but did say that the completely new engine will have at minimum what the 3.5L Altima has currently. The 4 Cyl will be available in 2 different engine options. He said the 4 cylinder version would also be I-Vtec and come with more horse than the Altima in the high performance version.
If you want my opinion of what is going to happen, this is what I think: 3+L V6 DOHC w/240 horse. 2 4 Cyl options: One with 170 Horse and one with about 200. Keep in mind that Honda's main focus recently has been gas mileage and the environment. All the new vehicles will feature 8,000KM service intervals and also be ULEV vehicles. This is why we won't see small displacement engines putting out massive horsepower. The reason is because extremely well flowing high-compression engines get not the best gas mileage. All of the Hondas that will be released to replace the older models will be BETTER on gas than before.
