Just thought I would ask and see what everyone thinks.
Seems the random, not connected pictures all kind of follow the same angles. That guy in Toronto didn't have any more shots or angles than that?
If they are staged how would it work exactly? Does Honda allow approved pictures to be leaked by employees during the run up to the mass release of information.

I would say yes. They probably do it for first reactions...because if I was the one taking those pics, I'd sure as hell take 100 pictures and maybe a video.

That's what I thought.
Only a car guy would even recognize the new Accord and know enough to send pictures to a place like TOV. If that was the case we would have lots more pictures and not always from the same angles.

Nope. Pilot vehicle production, plus employees driving them home for further evaluation.
Working in Metro-Detroit, I can tell you that I saw a million billion Dodge Darts running around way before they were actually out for Job 1 production. And mules abound too.

I have no doubt these are pilot vehicles driven by employees, but how do you explain the pictures we get.
The Accord is a rather pedestrian car even with its redesign. This guy in Toronto would have to be in the know to even recognize this as a new model. So he does recognize that it's the new Accord, and we get these corporate angled pictures showing just so much.
I just think if you know enough to see that it's the new Accord (meaning your a car guy and probably a Honda guy) and you have a camera, just think about how many pictures and from how many angles you would click away.

Okay. So it's staged.,
SCANDAL OF THE CENTURY?
I'm going to hop around Auburn Hills for a few days, catch a couple of photos of the Viper and then stage them on the internet too.

Or you might hang out a little west of Ann Arbor along I-94--isn't there a Fiatsler proving ground there, as well?
