i-DTEC just kicked in y0!!!!!!

hmm. just doesnt feel right saying it like that...

After looking at the pictures for a little while, the rear looks similar to the 300C tourer (a narrowing rear window towards the boot), which i like. There aren't many cars with this look, so its something appealing to me :)

Hopefully the sedan will stay close to the conceptual art:

i-DTEC y0 a$$

The i-DTEC engine meets Euro5, while our k24a3 is only Euro4. Funny that a diesel has cleaner emissions than our petrol engine. :)

I think in the emission, they have separate table for diesel and petrol.

Euro 4 petrol still have lower Euro 5 diesel NOx. In term of CO the diesel is cleaner than petrol. So "cleaner emissions" depends on which view we take.

I like the back of the tourer

The front of both is awful. Looks like a Toyota design, like a Camry with a bit of Yaris' fatness.

That one is the normal Accord for USDM which already out.
This accord tourer could be the next AUDM accord euro... want to see the sedan version, will be nice if they have coupe version too.

The tourer could be my next car i think. looks good and hopefully it will be moderately priced.

a lot of young families could be interested in its sporty design
