One of the unfortunate aspects of these press images is the "eye point" of the camera. Both rear shots were taken from the perspective of a small kid on a tricycle. The front shots appear to be slightly higher, perhaps at the outside mirror level. In either case, this is not how the car will look to an adult standing by it, or even sitting in another car.

I think you're right and I mentioned something similar in another thread.
I haven't seen the car in person, but I don't think the photos (especially at these angles) due the car justice. The rear wheel alignment looks off in one shot. And the biggest thing I've notice and I'm surprised no one else has mentioned it, is that in the "official" pics the greenhouse looks 2-3 inches taller toward the center with more of an arc compared to the real life spy pics. Another thing, the rear deck in the real life photos looks nearly horizontal while in the official pics it looks very slanted like the Civics.

Good point. I wish Honda would release REAL pictures and not these studio shots.

I stated in another thread that Honda has some of the worst PR photos in the industry, and it's not the first time this has come up. I just don't understand who keeps getting paid big bucks to stage these shootings, take these subpar photos, and then who turns around and approves them.

My guess is, before Honda release these PR photos, people are still very eager to snap any "spy photos" of the new Accord without camouflage, which would make even shooting the barenaked new car on any location nearly impossible.
Once these pre-release, static photos are out, the cat is out of the bag, and Honda can hire an outside photographer, send the car on location, to where ever the advertising agency dreamed up of shooting, and shoot a proper advertising picture that captures the "best side" of the new Accord.
I still look forward to see the interior of the Touring model, to see how upscale they're going with this foray into luxury, or near-luxury segment.
It sure is going to be exciting times for the next few weeks...

With advertising and print schedules being what they are, the photo shoots for the advertising, dealer displays, and brochures is already done. The agencies hired for these tasks are under non-disclosure, which is never a problem, because their reputation stands on their ability to keep trade secrets.
