    New Honda Accord looks like it has a

    Hoffmeister Kink in the rear window. Is nothing sacred?

      I thought it looked sorta like a Volvo in the front, and a Saturn in the rear haunches. But yeah, I see a reverse kink in the C pillar, but it doesn't make the car look any better!

          I agree with Court, They just blantly stole the E46/E90 styling cues.

          Shame that no designers are not orignal anymore.

            Many manufacturers stole styling cues from the E30 back in the 80's. I think nissan came the closest to making their car nearly identical to an E30. A while back I paralell parked my black 89 325i sedan behind a black 87-88 nissan sentra and from the side, both cars were very similar.

                      holy shit you weren't kidding. The coupe looks pretty sweet though.

                        Great styling if you ask me.

                        For the lazy people.

                              This is always the issue with Japanese car makers... They can imitate style, but they rarely come up with something original AND good looking...
