You really think the Solara is "frumpy" and the new Accord two door isnt? I see many two door Accords on the roads now, and even with that rear spoiler, the car looks so....ehhhh....I dont know...."insignificant" if you know what I mean; no dramatic presence is given off when you are next to this car, IMO....looks so boring....I think the RSX has more style, to be honest.

Personally I love the way the 7th generation Accord looks. But to each his own I guess.

Then buy an RSX. But I wouldn't buy anything with the name Camry in it if I wanted a sporting car.

Well, no, I dont want an RSX, but what Im saying is in the Honda family, where I originally thought the RSX was boring as hell upon launch, now I feel the new Accord is so bad, the RSX even looks more dramatic, especially in black. I understand what you are saying about the name "Camry" on a badge, but doesnt the word "Accord" appear on the so-called sporting two door coupe version of the Honda Accord?

Yes, but the Accord has a very differing personality from the Buick-like Camry.

The Accord hopefully will grow on you like the RSX did. I put these as two posts to hit 3000 by the way. :yay:
Lunch break time.

DJ...while you are calling the Accord coupe a "Cougar" maybe you should compare the styling of the new Solara with the new Tiburon.

I was nowhere NEAR the only one that referenced the Cougar against this new Accord two door----you cannot tell me the side design doesnt smack of the Cougar's profile; SO MANY people in here have said this. Aside from that, yeah, I guess the Solara does have the Tiburon's sweeping, wavy beltline---that is without a doubt....but for someone LIKE ME, who is now in the market for a much larger car than the 6th gen Accord as I have (although I desire a four door after this), the Solara plays this styling off nicely, being it is such a sleek, long vehicle from side profile; somehow it is more handsome---in my own opinion---than the Tiburon in side profile because it IS so long and sleek. Sleek, long coupes is what its about----the Solara even resembles the Jap version, perhaps, of the Chevy Monte Carlo---same wavy, long flanks along the sides...they both look like large, imposing vehicles upon first glancing at them....the Accord just does not offer this same visual perspective; it looks stubby and chubby in comparison.
