PLAIN TAILIGHTS!!! [View News Item]    (Score: 1, Normal) 12-18-2006 22:13

Let's face it...

The tailights are an important design element and these are WAY TOO plain. I'd like to see a return to the NSX-style of the previous Accord Coupe ..not a Scion Tc knockoff or the generic 300C tailights that are shared with the Dodge Charger... And let's hope the production vehicles ride height and track width are something like what we are seeing here... I really hate the bait-and-switch they do with Concept-to-Production development.

I don't think the tails are too bad... I like the red on the bottom and clear on top...

Just hope they don't make some cheesy altezzas..

But yeah lets definately hope the track width, and the width of the rear tires is something they are staying true with from concept-to-production...

I was thinking along the lines (and after seeing this sketch) that Honda should have retained something from the 1998-02 era Accord coupe. But, this isn't too bad either. In fact, sometimes simpler designs can have a greater (in a nice way) than overdoing things. The key will be in the details, and I have no doubt Honda will do well there (they almost always do).
