Honda Accord V6 (old)

The new chiseled look is a huge improvement over the soft contours and generic lines of the older model. The thick nose and larger dimensions make it look more grown up, but it's the edginess in the styling that really characterises the new Accord.

The trapezoidal grille, the sharply-cut and raked headlights and the flared fenders with the wheels puffing out of them make the older Accord look puny in comparison. A prominent crease that extends across the sides adds to the new Accord's muscular stance and taut looks but it's the rear that Honda, after years of tryinh, has finally got right.

On the outside, there’s little to distinguish it from the 2.4 — the 17-inch wheels, the twin-exhaust pipes and the V6 badge are the difference. It’s available in this Inspire variant and a regular variant that deletes the skirts and that ritzy grille.
