Overall I am a big fan of the 9GA, the Accord finally looks sharp again. The sedan was done so well, and the coupe was too, except for the rear fascia (which isn't a dealbreaker). Only reason I won't buy one is because I don't want another FWD car.

I'd hate to have to drive a car "that doesn't look as bad as everyone else thinks"... they are just plain boring cars with little personality. Big boats with sub par everything compared to any other car manufacturer.

Honda is dead

I wouldn't say sub-par everything (build quality, fit/finish, features, etc), and I would also say that when compared with the other cars in their class (Camry, Altima, Malibu, etc), the 9G Accord is an easy decision. Imo

But I do agree it's disappointing that Honda has taken a different approach with their cars...it really feels like they are more about "smart" cars given many of the decisions they've made. And not so much about "fun" cars anymore.

the sedans look AMAZING! the coupes are bad either i think. there is a thread on driveaccord where people are swapping out their non LED headlamps for the touring LED ones for a decent price. after seeing the cut off on them i'd still rather have a retrofit!

^That's tight, but the only thing I'm not feeling is the "3M 1080 Scotchprint Wrap Film: Matte Blue Metallic Personalized Vehicle Graphics"

Here is the full OEM optional add-ons in response to cjsaccord:
The 2013 Accords look nice, The sport sedans with the lip kit looks the best to me, but the coupe has potential someone just needs to mod it to fix those exterior design flaws.:thinking:
Congrats on the huge upgrade. Pics!!

I retract some of my previous statements and say that this sedan is absolutely beautiful. I will not continue to say that these cars are not performance machines and still in my mind are boring drives if you are expecting any type of power / handling etc. They are huge and bulky still, however both of these cars, especially the white one, look amazing.

I've always thought any Honda Accord stock look just plain ugly, bulky, and awkward, so these sedans sure look a lot better with the modifications that they have. I would definitely consider having one either one of these accords as my daily driver.

The white accord is just amazing looking. They really hit all the marks of a great daily driver sedan for me. Subtle upgrades, from performance to looks, looks just plain "Adult owned". Hello Honda. Thank you for finally coming out with a Sedan that has a all around beautiful lip kit. The rear end looks absolutely amazing from the sleek tail lights to the beautiful lip spoiler. The front end just fits... Fits together like a puzzle of perfection.

This is by far my favorite Honda Accord I've ever seen... even other all the 6th gens.

Congratulations DSO Eyewear / MAD Industries

You did it. You've taken an otherwise average sedan and turned it into something even I would drive.

My dad put a full HFP kit on a 2013 Accord V6 coupe and put it on the showroom floor at his work... the thing was beautiful...

The next time I go to have lunch with him I need to try to find a SanMarino Red V6 coupe and park next to it for a photo op...

I think the 2013 accords are beautiful, and I think they actually did something right with the sedans for the first time in a long time, plus the CVT tranny in the manuals really puts the power to the ground.

I've see several coupes around my way now and I have to admit I was against at first, until I saw it person, I like it. The taillight reminds me of the Audi A5 and front end is very aggressive.
