That's one thing Honda tends to avoid, and I think it's a good thing. They don't try to go too far off the beaten path, and while it won't win over tough design critics, most people aren't offended. They aren't inspired, either, but the low key, conservative approach holds up well over time. How many Honda's look dated? A 1990 Accord coupe looks as good today as when it was new. How about a 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix? Period styling gets the car locked into an era. Tail fins of the 1950's. EVERYBODY knows when those cars were built. But crisp, conservative looks stay fresh for years.
