First you saw the 2008 Honda Accord Coupe, and it was met with mixed reviews. Now, we have the 2008 Accord Sedan – though it’s just a drawing for now. Unfortunately, it looks like the ugly front end is staying put on the sedan as well. There’s no rear view yet, so I don’t know if it’ll be as aggressive as the coupe design, or more toned-down for the sedan buyers. I’ll keep you posted as I come across more information.

NOW THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT HONDA! NOT ONLY IS THIS CAR THE BEST RESALE VALUE, HIGH SAFETY RATINGS AND GREAT MPG THEY ALSO GOT THE LOOKS TO SWEEP YOU AWAY! SWEEEEEEEET……….. SHHHHHH…..HOT!
Unfortunately, it looks like the ugly front end is staying put on the sedan as well.
UGLY FRONT? COMPARED TO THE 2006? ARE YOU SERIOUS? THAT LOOK MAKES THE DODGE CHARGER WET ITSELF IN FEAR.
IF YOU TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THIS CAR, LOOK AT THE 92 ACCORD’S SLIMLINE FRONT END AND THE 06 BODY YOU MIGHT SEE SOMETHING SIMILAR, THE DESIGN.
Maybe I need to see it in person before I judge it. I drive an 07 Accord coupe and I think it looks very nice, though plain. The 08 is definitely more exciting, but i’m not sure if it’s to my liking.
I drive an ’07 AV6 SE 4Dr. Looking at this, the concept reminds me of a TSX front end, and the silhouette of Infiniti’s G35 sedan. I’m lovin’ this concept! Make hit happen, HONDA!!! But, make the V6 powertrain closer to 300hp. Please!!!
I think we’ll see close to 300 HP – definitely more than the current 244. After all, Toyota’s at 269, and Nissan’s at 270. I’d venture to say that the new Accord will be packing at least 260. I doubt they’ll go for the HP crown; they’re more of a high mileage brand the way I see it.
I’m buying this car!
I have an 04 V6 with 240 hp, would an extra 30-40 hp even be that noticeable? I think this will look better in person too. They always look better in person. I can’t wait to test it out. I’ll probably wait for the 2009 but I’ll be getting this. I do hope they put a hard drive in this car.
REPLY//I have an 04 V6 with 240 hp, would an extra 30-40 hp even be that noticeable? //
WELL IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE, IT’S HOW WOULD YOU INCREASE THE HP BY TURBO OR SUPERCHARGER?
REPLY//But, make the V6 powertrain closer to 300hp. Please!!!// LET’S SEE, VTEC 300 HP THIS WOULD BE INTRESTING. IF THEY REALLY WANT TO ALL THEY NEED TO DO IS JUST PORT OVER THE V6 VTEC ENGINE FROM THE HONDA NSX (300BHP 3.2L) TO THE SEDAN AND COUPE AND YOU’VE GOT A 300BHP ACCORD.
I think an extra 30-40 HP would be noticeable, but perhaps only to auto enthusiasts. The average person isn’t likely to be able to tell much of a difference; unless they immediately drive an 07 and 08 back to back.
I love power, but FWIW I think the current V6 Accord has plenty. I’d rather see a big MPG jump.
WELL KNOWING HONDA THEY PROABLY INCREASE IN HP AND MPG BECAUSE THIS IS A VTEC MOTOR WERE TALKING ABOUT HERE. SO I HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS FROM THEM.
I had a 2003 V6. Don’t see the need for more hp. Would rather have better mpg and even more quiet.
How often are you going to have the need to mash the pedal to the floor on a 300 hp engine? That is the only time you are using all the power, is when you have the pedal to the metal
Mike – Ultimately I’m hoping Honda sees it your way. Big power numbers are fun, no doubt. But the Accord is first and foremost an economical, safe, reliable family car. MPG weighs much more heavily than HP to me with this car. That’s why I chose the four banger after all… I’d love to see a higher EPA rating for 08, even with the changes.
THATS A MEAN LOOKING CAR.
IM DAMN SCARED
I LOVE the look! Looking forward to seeing it in person and test driving it! I’m ready to purchase a new HONDA! I love my ’97 Accord, but it’s time for a new one! I’m SO happy I waited for the 08 Accord. I looks sporty and fun!
REPLY//Don’t see the need for more hp. Would rather have better mpg and even more quiet.// WHILE THAT IS TRUE AND I AGREE ON THE MPG PART, IT’S JUST THE NATURE OF HONDA TO INCREASE THEIR ENGINE HP BY AT LEAST5 TO 15% BY EVERY GENERATION OF ACCORDS WITHOUT LOSING MPG, AND GAIN MORE MPG IN THE PROCESS. SO MY THING IS IF THEY ARE INCREASING BOTH MPG AND HP , ISN’T THAT A GOOD THING?BUT IF YOU WANT MORE MPG THERE’S THE HYBRID ACCORD THAT GETS BETTER MPG. ALSO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE UNFAMILAR WITH THE CAR INDUSTRY WILL PROABLY NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS LIKE WE DO UNFORTINATLY I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE THAT. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA NOT ONLY LOOKS AT THE MPG BUT THE HP TOO BECAUSE IN ORDER TO REACH A NEW BREED OF CUSTOMERS. ALSO PEOPLE JUST LIKE TO SEE STATS THAT THEIR CAR HAS MORE HORSES.
Yup – more HP and more MPG sounds like a winner to me. And hopefully Honda will debut a new Accord Hybrid – perhaps with the 4 cylinder this time around. Maybe even a coupe? Nah I’d get too excited…
REPLY//How often are you going to have the need to mash the pedal to the floor on a 300 hp engine? That is the only time you are using all the power, is when you have the pedal to the metal.// FIRST OF ALL YOU DON’T HAVE TO FLOOR IT TO FEEL IT. TRY FROM GOING UP A STEEP INCLINE TAPPING ON THE GAS PETAL, I LIVE IN CENTRAL TEXAS WERE THEIRS NOTING BUT HILLS. BETTER HAVE SOME HP OR YOUR IN TROUBLE. I HAD AN 91 ACCORD, STRONG BUT YOU BETTER NOT LET OFF THE GAS OF YOUR IN TROUBLE. I’VE HAD DRIVEN MY GUEST IN A RENTAL FORD TARUS WITH A V6 ENGINE AND IT FELT MUZZLED, WE WERE BARELY GOING GOING THE SPEED LIMIT ON A LONG MILE UP HILL, IT WAS EMBARRASSING…. TO SAY THE LEAST. MY LITTLE CIVIC….. ENOUGH SAID, SHE’S A GOOD GIRL, BETTER THAN THAT 4DOOR FixOrRepairDaily RENTAL CRAP, DO YOU GET IT? FORD. BELIEVE ME THE MORE THE BETTER. AND THE HAPPIER I CAN BE TO ZOOM AROUND THOSE NUT HEAD DRIVERS WHO CAN’T KEEP THEIR CAR BETWEEN THE LINES.
If you think this has a ugly fron end then something is definitely wrong with you. Will it be AWD?
In my 236 horsepower 2006 Hyundai Sonata or my 2003 240 horsepower Honda Accord I drove both of them thre Wyoming and Colorado and never had to floor it going thru the mountains. I’ll take 300hp if it gets 35 on the highway. But I would rather have the same 244 hp now in the Accord with 35 mpg and maybe 23 city than a 300 hp with 27 highway and 18 city. Mabye they could just sell an aftermarket turbocharger for people that want at least 300 hp?
I have to agree with Mike. 300 Horsepower would defy the Accord’s selling base: simple reliability. To provide an aftermarket blower that would boost horsepower would satisfy those who need to prove something would be a smart idea. But to make it standard would undermine the Accord’s marketability.
300 Horsepower would defy the Accord’s selling base: simple reliability. // JUST BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE 300HP WOULD NOT TAKE AWAY FROM HONDA’S RELIABILITY. HONDA IS ALWAYS ADDING MORE
SORRY MY COMPUTER HAD A GLITCH AND MESS UP MY LAST MESSAGE I WAS TRYING TO WRITE.
THIS IS THE NEXT GEN ACCORD, A NEXT GEN VTEC MOTOR. I’VE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS NEW COUPLE AND WHAT ALL HONDA HAD TO SAY. IN NUMEROUS REPORTS THEY SAID THAT THE NEW ACCORD WILL HAVE MORE HP AND BETTER GAS MILEAGE THAN THE PREIVOUS MODEL, THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE SAYING. HONDA HAS NOT LOST FOCUS OF THEIR OBJECTIVE. THEY ARE JUST REVISING IT. IT’S NOT THEYARE MAKING A DODGE VIPER OUT OF THIS. HAVE YOU CONSIDERED A HYBRID?
//But to make it standard would undermine the Accord’s marketability.// LOOK A THE NEW HONDA FIT.BASED ON THE CONSUMER REPORTS A 1.5L 109HP SUBCOMPACT CAR. PEOPLES ONLY COMPLAINT WAS THE MPG. EVEN THE CIVIC GETS BETTER GAS MILEAGE THAN THE FIT, BUT ACCORDING TO SEVERAL SALESMAN IN MY AREA THAT THEY ARE SELLING SO FAST THAT THEY HAVE A WAITING LIST BECAUSE THEY CAN’T MAKE ENOUGH. PERSONALLY, JUST BECAUSE ONE ASPECT OF THE CAR IS CHANGED OR DIFFERENT DOESN’T TAKE AWAY FROM THE RELIABLITY OR REPUTATION FOR HONDA.
If you think this has a ugly fron end then something is definitely wrong with you. WHO SAID THAT?
TAKE A GOOOOOD LOOOOONG LOOOOOOOOOK AT THAT PICTURE, DO YOU THINK IT’S GOING TO BE A 240HP?
Mabye they could just sell an aftermarket turbocharger for people that want at least 300 hp?// DO YOU THINK HONDA IS GOING TO SELL A TURBOCHARGER, I HIGHLY DOUBT IT. HONDA IS AWAYS NATURAL ASPERATED V6 NO TURBO OR SUPERCHARGER, EXCEPT FOR THE MDX. I WOULDN’T EVEN BOTHER WITH A TURBO FOR A HONDA SEDAN. JUST GIVE ME 300HP RAW POWER, ALL STOCK. NO AFTER MARKET TURBO, NO THANK YOU.
WHY NOT GET A PRIUS IF YOU WANT BETTER MPG? IT’S A 4DOOR. I’M JUST CUIROUS OF WHAT YALL HAVE TO SAY.
Yeah I’ll accept all the hp they want to deliver. I am just saying 244 is plenty and I would rather have higher mpg. yeah they can do both , but more hp is always going to come with a mileage penalty. I considered the hybrid, but the trunk was too small, the back seat didn’t fold down and stopping distance was too long.
THANKS, I WASN’T TRYING TO BE A BUTT ABOUT I WAS JUST INTRESTED ON YOUR STAND POINT ON THE HYBRID.
There is a new prius coming out in about a year.I considered the current one but it was too noisy, stopping distances were too long and it was tad slow.
WHEN IT COMES TO CARS I GO NUTS SOMETIMES. PERSONALLY I NEVER DRIVEN A PRIUS, BUT IT JUST DOESN’T APPEAL TO ME FOR SOME REASON. THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE.
Re: the Prius.. If the Prius wasn’t really ugly and dorky looking, I think a lot more people would own one. Me personally, I couldn’t bring myself to drive it… even if it does get 50 MPG. That’s why I’m interested in the 08 Accord – it’ll look good ( if not perfect ) have enough power, and hopefully get ridiculous gas mileage too.
//Will it be AWD?// YOU KNOW I MENTION THAT ON THE HONDA COUPE VERSION SHOULD HAVE AWD AND I GOT SHOT DOWN. BESIDES THAT I THINK IT WOULD BE VERY COMPETITIVE MARKET IF HONDA MADE AWD VERSION. JUST LIKE THE TSX, MAYBE HAVE TWO MODELS . A 4WD TYPE-R OR SI V6 300 HP AND A FWD WITH 35 MPG. SO HONDA SI CAN SPANK THE G35, 350Z, EVO, AND WRX . WHILE IT’S MORE CONSERVATIVE KEN WILL BACK HAND THE CAMRY, PRIUS, MAXIMA, AND ALTIMA. IT’S JUST AN IDEA SO…… YAH, I KNOW IT’S A LONG SHOT BUT I STILL HAVE SOME HOPE. THEY COULD DO WHAT THEY DID WITH THE 07 CIVIC RELEASE A TYPE-R VERSION A FEW YEARS LATER.
For one thing, that picture is a Photoshop of the Accord Coupe concept. Also, if you’re talking about in the US, there was never a Civic Type-R…. just an Si version. The turbocharged Acura is the RDX, not the MDX.
300 HP is not likely as that would make it have more HP than the Acura TL Type-S. Besides, more HP to the Accord on a FWD platform would make the torque steer even worse on MT versions.
The Accord is a midsize family sedan… it is not designed to compete against the G35, 350Z, Evo or WRX. It’s competing against the likes of the Camry and Altima.
AWD would be nice so that it could compete more with Subaru, but it’s probably not likely… especially since Camry and Altima are still only available as FWD models.
Realistic expectations should be about a 10% increase in both HP and gas mileage.
By the way, how a car looks is not a good indication on how much HP it has under the hood… look at the Scion TC or Hyundai Tiburon.
i like the concept, but there’s nothing dynamic about the car. .it just looks good. if the 08′ sedan is going to look something similar to this, then i think the Altima or Camry will have the edge when it comes to styling. to me, it just looks like a regular present day sedan with a body kit..
I’ve seen the new Altima and Camry up close… I don’t think either one is an improvement over the look of this concept.
Personally, I like the look of the previous Altima, and I can’t get over the front end of the new Camry.
HAVE YOU SEEN THE ACTUAL IMAGES OF THE NEW COUPE, THE SEDAN MIGHT BE CS2 BUT THE COUPE HAS BEEN SHOWN BEFORE. EXCLUDING THE DRIVE TRAIN. I’M TALKING ABOUT HONDA IN GENERAL, WHEN I MENTION TYPE-R WAS POINTING OUT WHAT HONDA HAS PRODUCED WORLD WIDE AND MAKING A COMPARISION. YES I KNOW SI IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE US AND TYPE-R IN THE UK AND JAPAN.
I’M POINTING OUT THAT HONDA DOES HAVE THE POTIENTIAL OF PRODUCING 300HP, ADD A SLIP DIFFERENTAL TO ASSIST DURING CORNERING. HONDA HAS MUCH MORE EXPERIENCE IN THE FWD REALM
AS SAID BEFORE I’LL SAY IT AGAIN, IT WOULD BE A INTRESTING MARKET FOR HONDA TO JUMP INTO THE AWD TO COMPETE WITH THEIR COMPETITORS, I KNOW THAT IT’S A FAMILY CAR AND THAT’S WHY I SAID TWO DIFFERENT MODELS. A FUEL FRIENDLY VERSION AND A SPORTY AWD VERSION. I DIDN’T SAY TAKE A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL BEST SELLING HIGH RESALE VALUE CAR THAT HAS BEEN THE BACKBONE OF HONDA FOR EIGHT GENERATIONS INTO A RADICAL AWD EVO WRX KILLER. I’M SAYING THAT HONDA NEEDS TO LOOK TOWARDS THAT MARKET.
THE CIVIC, YES IS SPORTY AND COULD SPANK THE TIBURON AND THE TC. BUT IT’S FWD. THE S2000, SPORTY AND IT’S RWD, BUT IT CAN’T COMPARE TO A 350ZAND IT WOULD BE COSTLY TO MOD IT JUST TO COMPARE TO THE 350Z, PLUS IT’S RATHER SMALL LIKE THE MIATA. THE SOON TO BE REVIVED 09NSX I’M EAGERED ABOUT, V-10 500HP, BUT IT’S TOO EXSPENSIVE FOR AN AVERAGE CAR BUYER, A SUPERCAR. THEN… WHAT GOES IN BETWEEN THE S2000 AND NSX. THERE’S A BIG GAP AND NO MEDIUM. THE COUPE MODEL ACCORD WAS GETTING HUGE HYPE, THOUGH NO ONE KNEW THE DRIVETRAIN, THEY WERE HOPING FOR A AWD OR RWD. I WAS TOO, I KNOW A COUPE IS NOT A FAMILY CAR. AT LEAST HAVE IT 300HP AWD. THAT WILL FILL THE GAP BETWEEN THE S2000 AND THE NSX. BUT IT’S RUMORED THAT THE S2000 WILL BE REPLACED AND MAYBE THEN IT WILL TAKE ON THE G35. BUT AGAIN THIS WOULD BE A INTRESTING FIELD FOR HONDA TO JOIN INTO SINCE THEY SEEM TO FAVOR AWD FOR THE TSX AND NSX.
YES CARS CAN’T BE DETERMINE BY LOOKS ALONE, BUT KNOWING HONDA IT’S NOT GOING TO BE A RUN OF THE MILL CAR. THIS IS THE NEXT GEN ACCORD, THIS WILL GIVE THEM THE EDGE IF THEY FULLY USE THEIR POTIENTAL. AND I HIGHLY DOUBT IT’S GOING TO BE 240HP.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOUR CAPS BUTTON , you morons.
//WHAT THE F**K IS WRONG WITH YOUR CAPS BUTTON , you morons.//UH, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAPS BUTTON. GOT A PROBLEM WITH ME USING THEM? IF SO THERE’S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT YOUR ISSUES WITH CAPS. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.
like the concept, but there’s nothing dynamic about the car. .it just looks good. if the 08′ sedan is going to look something similar to this, then i think the Altima or Camry will have the edge when it comes to styling. to me, it just looks like a regular present day sedan with a body kit.// IT’S A BODY KIT DESIGN I DON’T HAVE TO PURCHASE FROM A AFTERMARKET COMPANY. I PERSONALLY WOULDN’T CALL IT A BODY KIT BUT YOU KNOW IT’S A ACCORD WHEN YOU SEE IT. JUST LIKE YOU KNOW IT’S A YARIS JUST BY LOOKING AT IT’S GRILL. THAT’S THE IMAGE I’M LOOKING FOR, IT’S MORE DISTINGUISHED THAN THE 06MODEL. WHEN YOU MENTIONED THE ALTIMA I HOPE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE COUPE, BUT THEN AGAIN THE STRUCTURE OR BODY RESMIBLES A LOT LIKE THE G35. REALLY THE CAMRY JUST STICKS OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB BAH…. IT LOOKS LIKE A 99CAMRY SHACKED UP WITH THE 07YARIS AND OOPS…..YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY. GOOD DAY.^-^
I’m liking it, so far. But I’d like to see an actual picture of one. I’m really looking forward to what the Accord sedan looks like. I’ve had my 97 Civic and I bought it new back in 97. I’m ready to upgrade! I was about to buy an 07 Acura TSX, but now I gotta see this 08 Accord!
Jin / NSX-R – Please no fighting. I don’t care for the caps myself, but they don’t bother me too much. So Jin, don’t worry about it.
This is a place to read about the latest and greatest cars – not fight about people’s writing styles.
here’s what they should do. Add a battery system to the Acura RL and make it hybrid only. Put the 300 hp 3.5 in the TL aned add super handling all wheel drive.Make the TSX a hatchback only with a turbo charged diesel and AWD. So all Acura models would be all wheel drive.
Then for the Accord. use the 3.2 liter engine from the current TL with active cylinder management for better mileage. Make the 4 cylinder a six speed for more responsiveness and better mileage.
THAT’S A VERY INTRESTING IDEA, BY TAKING ACURA AND THE COMBINATION OF SPORTY/LUXURY CAR. MAYBE NOT DIESEL CAUSE I PERSONALLY WOULDN’T BUY ONE. I HEARD FROM ACURA THAT THEY KILLED OF THE RSX AND ARE WORKING ON THE TSX COUPE. NOW IF THEY GO AWD THAT WILL BE THE BEST ALTERNITIVE. AND FINALLY EVERYBODY CAN HAVE WHAT THEY WANT.
NOW WHAT THEY SHOULD DO WITH THE TSX COUPE IF WHAT I HEARD WAS TRUE. PORT THE 3.2L ENGINE FROM THE NSX COMBINED WITH A AWD SYSTEM. NOW THAT I WOULD BE EXCITED TO DRIVE THAT CAR.
Realize that Honda markets the Honda brand for the masses, while the Acura division is their luxury/performance line. Hondas have always been known for the best “bang-for-your-buck”. Their cars have never been faster, better handling or more luxurious than their competitors. They have been a great combination of all attributes that people find important in their cars and priced .
There’s no way that the Accord will have more HP than the TL Type-S. The new Accord will get a HP bump, but I doubt it’ll be up to 300 HP without the TL getting a bump first.
Also, it doesn’t matter how much technology you throw at a FWD platform, it will still have its limitations. Read the complaints about the TL Type-S (i.e. torque steer)… and that has less than 300 HP.
If Honda did want to compete with the WRX and Evos, it would probably be based off the Civic platform (similarly sized), not the Accord. I could maybe see them reintroduce the Prelude based on the RDX’s turbo engine and SH-AWD.
AWD will likely be trickled down to all the Acura cars (only on RL now) eventually, but it remains to be seen if they’ll put it on a Honda since most competiting cars to the Accord have AWD.
I have indeed seen the spy pics of the new Accord coupe. As with the current Accord, however, the coupe and sedan are usually quite a bit different.
Why do you say that the S2000 cannot compare to the 350Z? Car and Driver ranked the S2000 ahead of the 350Z in a comparison a few years ago.
Also, the G35 and S2000 aren’t really in the same category (luxury sports coupe vs. performance convertible), so I don’t see why Honda would feel the need to design the new S2000 to compete with it.
The Accord, no matter if it is a coupe or sedan, will likely share the same engine… as it always has.
Accord sedan competes with the Nissan Altima, Toyota Camry and other midsize sedans.
Accord coupe competes with the Toyota Solara and other midsize coupes.
S2000 competes with the 350Z convertible, Solstice and other high performance roadsters.
TL competes with the G35 sedan and other luxury performance sedans.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited to see the new Accord as well, but I think I’m being more realistic in my expectations.
//Their cars have never been faster, better handling or more luxurious than their competitors.// I HAVE TO DISAGREE, HONDA STANDS OUT ABOVE THEIR COMPETITION. IN HANDLING, MAYBE NOT IT SPEED, MPG AND SAFETY. HONDA HAS BEEN RATED THE GREENEST AUTOMAKER IN THE WORLD FOR FOUR CONSECUTIVE YEARS NOW(HONDA’S MAIN SITE) . I SEEN THE SPECS ON THE CIVICS, A MCPHEARSON STRUTS WERE STANDARD FEATURE AVAILABLE ON THE CIVIC. ALSO THEIR VTEC ENGINES ALLOW AS YOU SAID BEFORE MORE BANG FOR LESS. HONDA IS ALWAYS HEADS ABOVE THE REST. EVEN THE COMPETITOR’S CAR SALESMEN HAVE AGREED WITH ME WHEN EVER I COMPARE THEIR CARS TO HONDA. IN RESALE VALUE, RELIABLITY, DURABILITY AND STANDARD FEATURES. I HOLD HONDA TO HIGH STANDARDS, AND SO FAR I AM IMPRESSED WITH WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. HONDA DOESN’T JUST MAKE CARS, BUT MOTORCYCLES, SCOOTERS, LAWN EQUIPPMENT AND PERSONAL JETS. I LIKE THE WAY HONDA THINKS TOO, BUT I LIKE TO SEE MORE. LIKE THE S2000, I WOULD’NT MIND SEEING A SPORTS CAR THAT’S SIMILAR TO THE CORVETTE. I KNOW THEY CAN DO IT.
// Also, the G35 and S2000 aren’t really in the same category (luxury sports coupe vs. performance convertible), so I don’t see why Honda would feel the need to design the new S2000 to compete with it. // HONDA IS AUTOMAKER, ALONG WITH TOYODA, NISSAN, MAZDA, FORD, CHEVY, DODGE, ETC. THEY ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF PRODUCING CARS TO PEOPLE’S LIKING. SO YOU HAVE COUPES, SEDANS, HATCH BACKS, CONVERTIBLES/ROADSTERS AND SUPERCARS MADE TO CERTAIN CLASS OF CONSUMERS. THE S2000 FAIRED WELL BUT THE ONE PROBLEM IS THE LACK OF ACCELERATION COMPARISION TO THE 350Z, SOME OF THAT IS DUE TO THE ENGINE DISPLACEMENT. IN MY OPINION IT SHOULD HAVE BETTER ACCELERATION, MAYBE ADD A V6 VERSION WITH 300HP @7000RPM . IT’S NOT LIKE THE S2000 CAN’T COMPETE, IT’S JUST A LITTLE PRICEY FOR IT. I’D RATHER SEE A SPORTS CAR FOR $34,000 TO BE SIMILAR TO THE 350Z MORE STOUT CAR. THE S2000 WAS JUST A RWD CIVIC, THEIRS NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE IN THE CIVIC TYPE-R/ SI (DEPENDING WHERE YOUR FROM) AND THE S2000. DISPLACEMENT AND PERFORMANCE ARE SOMEWHAT THE SAME EXCLUDING UNDERSTEER/OVERSTEER, I’D LIKE TO SEE SOME CHANGES IN THE S2000′S FUTURE.
//Yup – more HP and more MPG sounds like a winner to me. And hopefully Honda will debut a new Accord Hybrid – perhaps with the 4 cylinder this time around. Maybe even a coupe? Nah I’d get too excited…// HEY YOU MAY NEVER KNOW, IT’S POSSIBLE. THIS IS HONDA YA KNOW. UH HEY/Leroy Brown/ , ARE YOU AN MODERATOR FOR THIS WEB SITE? CAUSE I SEE YOUR USERNAME IS RED.
