This car has the look of a very solid car. The wheel gap is just right and the way it sits on the road looks very classic. I like what I see on the interior and the car looks great from the side........The pictures make the car look longer, a matter of fact, the rear door looks longer then current, but I think it is an optical illusion........Either way, this car has character......

Yeah, it could be the camo fooling the eye because to me, the rear end looks longer than the current car.

Tightening up the body work and getting rid of the bulbousness in the rear quarters would have that effect on the eye's perception of the length. This is a large part of the reason the 4th gen Accord looks significantly longer than the 5th gen, even though the 5th gen is only marginally shorter.

My first thought reading the thread title was of fun to drive roads gifted to drivers who enjoy driving. Rather cool thought actually. I'm curious if the Touring model will be just that or simply a more fully-loaded EX-L.

Agreed--that zerbra camo is retina-searing! Well, for those of you who remember those "hidden image" pictures from fifteen or so years ago, I couldn't see those either!

I don't remember Honda using this stuff quite so much, but for some of us (like me), it apparently does the job!

These test builds are probably being assembled in Japan. The eye searing camo is also being applied there, so that the cars remain disguised during the trip to the US. As pre-production vehicles, they are very high value, and no doubt arrived here in the belly of an airplane.

You have to look a the shadows, sunlight and block the spinning twirls out, look beyond the,.........

These to pictures are PERFECT examples of exposing all the lines, the top picture showing the shadows of the side and the bottom shows the waves in the hood......

The 2 pics above are the most exposing of any pictures I have seen of the lines of the car..........a good photo shopper can make the car right here.........

I think the color contrast is causing my eye reaction...

It would be terrible if I had to drive with one of them testing in front of me around noon time in bright sun.....
