I think its funny that people are so concerned about the rear window design...kink or no kink. I think thats going to be the least of the new Accords worries.

^True. I'm simply tired of the reference to a signature BMW detail on H and A cars.

As I stated earlier, there has to be a better, bespoke solution to that area rather than the default BMW thing. To me, that alone would be the reason NOT to copy them! Every detail offers an opportunity to distinguish the cars from the "competition" and nurture a cohesive visual language, unique to H and A.

"My new Accord Sedan reminds me of a 5-Series. Woohoo!"

That's weak.

My concern is will the vehicle be attractive and stunning? The suspense is killing all of us.

To hell with the Hoffmeister kink.
It's time automakers try something new.
Though, I don't like that black plastic instead.
It looks cheap. Perhaps glass, or just increase the size of the C-pillar to fill up that gap?
