Those images look almost completely different from this.
Especially the front and rear fascias; they seem to be much more aggressive on this car.
The new shots look so "hohum" compared to these shots.

This would confirm that Honda might be going with two stylings (a la Hyunadai), one for the gas powered engines and one for the the PI hybrid.

On the bright side: the 2.4 and 3.5 will not have hidden exhausts

Looks like the regular gas Accord won't get the agressive styling that the hybrid will... pity...

But I think this camo really isn't doing anything for it either. We can barely see the headlights and the tail lights are still concealed with stickers. Seeing the hybrid with the body paint exposed and the lights on is more flattering than this very drab camo pattern. I am glad to see a very sharp character line running along the side though.

If you do a cross comparison, that front grille is mostly pulled from the coupe concept with the bar design pulled from the crosstour. It should looksdecent.

I'll just come out and say that the interior and performance of this thing better be class leading or at least close to it, because thats the only way people will be able to get over the 'more of the same' exterior.

I have to disagree. From what we can see it's a major improvement over the current model's styling. No, it may not get the LED tail lights and the C Concept's radical front end, but that is not exactly a bad thing, either. I like the C Concept, but its styling is not for everybody. Look at the side profile on this spy shot, it's beautiful and very athletic, came out even better looking than Neal's rendition. Look at the way the C pillar swoops into the trunk! I get the feeling this is going to be the best Accord design in quite some time.

Yes, Neal was VERY close. As I said, he hit the mark, all but the Head lights and Tail lights.......Notice the height of the car, the small wheel gap........well done........
