Why do they even put badges on them in the first place, only to cover them up with tape? Wouldn't it be a lot more sensible to bust out the fishing line and debadge the cars, or better yet, most of them are hand-built pre-production cars anyway before the factories are retooled. How about don't put the badges on in the first place?
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
Let's see. Looks like a Honda. It's in Ohio. Anyone who is remotely interested in photographing the new Accord already knows what it looks like. Most people won't care. Why bother covering up the badges at this point?

BTW, my last name is Careless, no joke. Careless. Not the best name when you're trying to get insurance.
What is with that horizontal hood cut-line? Why didn't they make it follow the line of the headlights and top of the grille? Would've looked much better.
I think, from a design perspective, Honda really hit a home run with the current Civic coupe.
It's too bad that couldn't be emulated in the Accord coupe. It doesn't look bad... but it doesn't look nearly as good either.
Just wondering, did you always feel that way about the Civic? I only ask because you've seen the Civic in person, but you haven't seen the Accord. I have a feeling this is a car that will look better in person, like most new cars.
FWIW, I think the Accord is the best looking car its segment. People need to take it for what it is......a relatively sporty mainstream coupe that is intended to appeal to the masses.
when the accord is parked next to the civic, it looks A LOT better. I used to think the design was bloated and overweight, but it actually looks pretty sleek when next to the civic. Very nice
i hope that they get rid of those on the real thing.
all kidding aside, i definitely don't think that silver does that car justice. i've seen it in a darker color (can't remember...maybe a grey?) and i wasn't too fond of that either. the one shot of the interior doesn't look bad; i'd like to see more of that.

Yup -- from the moment Honda released the Si Concept I began drooling
But I agree -- I shouldn't cut this car down too much (which I didn't do) and I should wait until I see it in the flesh.

Front looks pretty bulky too IMO - maybe a nod to the pedestrian safety laws? All in all, a poorly proportioned vehicle with so-so detailing, that i would still take in a heartbeat - especially with that 6-speed.
Damn, I was hoping they wouldn't really style it like that. Looks like a late model unfinished BMW mule.
From reading comments here about some recent BMWs, it sounds like some folks would've preferred that BMW left them unfinished, too.
I'm liking the front 3/4 shots. The rear doesn't look as interesting.. but you'd be surprised how much more finished a car looks with the tape removed from the badges.
I much prefer the hood/windshield/rear quarter window/rear window proportions of the Accord to the Civic.
I think the side profile is fine but the front and the rear look really unrefined.

My Corolla hasn't broken down once since 2001, it's been paid off for most of that time, and it's about as satisfying as masturbating with a boxing glove.
Nissan had better sell as many Altima coupes as they can right now, because this thing is gonna obliterate the entire segment.
that's what I was thinking too...it's not exactly a home run imo, but compared to the altima it's a billion times better.

It looks like it's two different cars joined at the A pillar.
I rate it a solid "meh."
