Here are some more spy shots from different angles apparently from a different source.

Looks good, though it looks like the front bumper protrudes out a bit like the new Civic.
Also note the plastic surround between the grille and headlight:
It looks similar to the NAIAS Coupe Concept, a bit wider and more aggressive? Thankfully those headlights don't have its blingy tick-shaped LED lining.
I am also reminded of this:

The couple things I picked up from this are:
1. I'm wondering how they'll incorporate the new Honda under-eye facet.
2. Looking at the Coupe Concept and the Civic pic, I'm encouraged to NOT see the silver wing at the top of the grill. I hope thats a trend for them.... deleting that terrible design element.
3. Projector beam headlights on both the Accord and the Civic (other market)... I'd love to see those here but I doubt they'll make the cut. Neither will those side mirror indicators on that Civic... but SOMETHING will happen to its headlights, I'm pretty sure. They're blank and have no presence in the current Civic. I hope the Accord fares better.
4. Does anyone else think the front end styling of the Civic Coupe is the worst of the Honda lineup?... worse even than the Crosstour. If anything changes, THAT needs to. I NEVER see them and I used to see tons of Civic Coupes. I'm guessing that means its been a failure. Fingers crossed that it gets a complete revision.

Looks better and better. But is it me or everybody sees that pregnant hood??? I do not want that... or they hide some instruments under it?

Yeah, I am not sure what I am seeing on that hood, but I assumed it was just camo-based stuff and not metal.

Padding is used to conceal actual body contours.

That camo is doing a really good job of obscuring the body of this new Accord. I don't know how anybody can form a conclusive opinion just yet. I'll reserve judgement until that crap comes off. I will say though that Honda's delay with revealing this new Accord sedan is a little disconcerting. Are they nervous? Scared? Playing it safe considering what happened with the Civic? What is it I wonder. It'll sure be interesting to see what they've done here with this latest restyling. Regardless, I'm sure it'll sell like it always has.

No instruments. The "Sports" version will have a special hood to make room for the twin Holley four barrel carburetors.

I'm betting we're all going to see it and go 'meh' !... lot of excitement for no reason.

Which would probably be a good thing. Much better than having OMG! or POS! type reactions, i.e. the TL re-design comes to mind. I feel the changes will be comparable to the Camry and Altima re-designs.

In some of the pics it looks like there is still a bulge in the headlamps but in others they look flush. Is it just my eyes?
HondaAFVM can you confirm this without breaking the rules?

That was the show car for the ASEAN market Civic. They just put Modulo body kit incl. the front grill. The actual vehicle for ASEAN market is the same as the rest-of-the-world (except North America) like this:
I like the front bumper. It looks more upscale than the one we have in North America.
