Looks like a Pontiac G6 humped a Ford 500 and produced little H-badged offspring.
I hate the new European bumper and hood height regulations! I know they're supposed to make cars more "pedistrian friendly" but as far as I'm concerned, bi-peds should stay the hell out of the streets. If you're dumb enough to run in front of a car or truck, you deserve what you get. These new regs make all of the "one car for the world" products look like **** in the front!

I'm not crazy about the front, either. It definitely looks like a cross between a Scion and a Volvo.
From all other angles, however, I think it looks fantastic.
With a snickety-snick Honda 5 speed (or 6 speed) manual, nice V6, and hopefully, AWD, this could be quite the car.

i think you're right about the clsness. semms like they were trying for that. but somehow got confused along the way. and whats with the tiburon side sculpting?
nice looking but a bit jumbled- not quite pulled together.

FYI, you can get a 6mt accord coupe or sedan with the 3.0 v6 ( most are autos), if the v6 badge on the rear is red it is a 6mt. 275 is easy right now, the tl type s has a 3.5 286 v6. Same motor, .5 liter bigger and tweeked ecu, so the leap is already been done. I have drove a 08 sedan with a 4 and the auto, The interior is much nicer than the o7's. I also noticed quite a few onther thingd, but I cant say
