Who does NOT agree that Honda should fire their designers
and the guys who hired them.
In past past 3 years we had Accord, Ridgeline and the upcoming Saturn inspired Civic - enough said. |

I'm more about the mechanic rather then the design which should not hamper
the vehicle's purpose. Example, Mercedes new line of sedan, with a very sleek design, but crappy rear head room (which is stupid in my opinion).

Agreed - Element, CRV, Ridgeline, Accord and now the fugly new civic. Just amazes me how much Honda has gone down hill. While some may like the new civics’ interior I find it too busy and cluttered. The new civic is larger than the accord of yesterday. We need a new car from Honda to replace the civic. Maybe the fit is what is called for. I believe a lot is riding on the US release of the fit. While other companies have been coming up with great designs that fit a nitch in the market I think Honda is relying too much on their product reputation and loyalty buyers. They should seriously reconsider their design team’s direction. -- magpilot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magpilot's Profile: http://Club3series.com273 View this thread: http://fitfreak.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2653 Discussions from http://fitfreak.net |

And, I have quite a few compliments on my 01 Prelude. The Pilot (which we also have) is just fine -- certainly at least as appealing as the SUV from other manufacturers. As far as quality goes -- no problems with the Pilot or my Prelude. |

That's all I've been hearing for the past several generations of Hondas.
People crying about the styling and the general consensus is, "it's too mundane" !. And then, everyone else ends-up copying the same style or praising the fact that the style 'grows on you'. These wee-wee brains that are all about the style, should be put in the back seat. Pars > Sorry to beat a dead horse here but I also agree.

That's maybe what you have been hearing but I have been hearing
complaints with this latest generation Accord. I've like the Accord line up until the latest gen. Also note that Nissan had the front end light design on the Altima before they came out on the Accord. It's just that Honda had a bad way of deigning the front grill and rear. If you think that Honda was doing such a good job on the most recent Accord, then why are they completely changing the back end on the sedan in the 06? I'll tell you one reason, decline in sales of the Accord.
