The ’03 Accord has been re-styled and in doing so they are taking a big risk. When you are a sales leader you can’t let your product grow old stale or frumpy but neither should you wily nily ditch a design look that is currently a sure thing. Ford did what Honda is doing when they re-styled the Taurus in ’96, with the round ovals melted butter design look, and they made trouble for themselves. The new Accord borrows piecemeal from the G35 and Passat style. The question is… ‘does it look as good or better than the original flavor’ The jury is still out.
