you proably won't see anything till sometime in the spring the earliest. you usually won't see any spy shots till its about a year away from comming out. when the 7th gen came out, the spy shots came out about 4-5 months before it was introduced to the public.

thanks skabone69, have you seen the 2007 Toyota Camry pictures here on this website. Honda is really gonna have to work hard to keep up (the new Camry will be bigger, stronger, and more luxurious than it currently is) i think its gonna have about 270 hp. Honda barely came out with their 244 hp V6 this year (i think). Good luck Honda, I'm sure Honda will keep on doing a better job than toyota. Honda/Acura rocks!

The Accord V6 was rated at 240hp when it was redesigned from the ground up in 2003. The SAE horsepower ratings system was revamped this year, leading to the Accord gaining only 4 hp...... using the old ratings formula, it would be more like 10.


Many cars went down in horsepower ratings for model year 2006.

on avg, it seemed like import cars were the ones having power losses reported after the SAE revised their hp measurements. almost all domestics went up in power.

these are the pic I saw, http://www.autoblog.com/entry/1234000387071843/
I have to say I'm impressed with the design. it looks so much better than the current 7th gen accord. I'm hoping honda will be able to turn things around with the 8th gen and make it sportier and more powerful. the 7th gen sedan is so ugly

The 2006 V6 has redesigned intake manifold and better air flow to achieve 244 SAE.

Yes, I know.... had the old ratings system still been in place, it would be rated at least 250hp.

That's a link to pics of the '08 Camry, not Accord.
