1. Honda PR pics stinks........the car looks much better in real lighting.

2. In the interior pic, that looks like a keyless key fob, so problaby push button start on this (looks like) Touring.

3. That tweeter in the door sail looks like the same ones they use in Acura's Panasonic ELS system. I am betting a stereo version of of the ELS system.

4. Intererior does look upscale, the whole car looks upscale. Which is funny because that was the goal for the present Accord gen.

Damn that's what I was going to write. Looking forward to the Dealer training so we can get some more leaked pictures.

If it were me that stumbled upon this Accord, I would have filled my camera and definitely been on the ground and examined the front suspension.

Wow, I'm really impressed... The front end does look upscale. The interior reminds me of the TSX

I can't tell what is in the area right in front of the gear shift lever, but that is the perfect spot for docking an iPhone. In my 2003 Accord that area is a big storage area with a door that folds to conceal what is inside. That would be great to be able to dock the phone, to charge and interact with the car, but also be able to see it. In my 2011 BMW the phone docks in the center armrest area, so you can't see it or easily touch it (like to get SIRI).

If I were designing Sedans that will never have stick shifts, I would move the gear shifter back up to the steering wheel column and the e-brake down on the floor. Going back to 1970s style, but that area is prime real estate, so lets clear it.
