How come Honda claim they design the new facelift based on the American taste? I'd better buy a Camry. To be frank, even the American will actually dislike the new look.

So dun just simply criticize the car otherwise it will be just like a cakap kosong je. This car model is simply better look than the damn proton (out to date car).

You really have to see the car in the showroom and walk around it a few times before you can comment. The front looks a lot like the Acura (Honda's luxury line) RSX and the rear is not as high as the pictures show. The interior meanwhile is awesome. My fav is the LED dashboard where you can adjust the brightness. No feel of cheapness in the components at all. Handling is typical Honda, need I say more. Can't wait for the 2006 model to come to M'sia so I can get one for my parents. Disclaimer: I was debating between the Accord, Acura RSX, Camry, Maxima, Mazda 6, Volvo S40 and VW Passat before settling on my Accord SE. I would have bought the new Civic Si tho if I had just graduated from college. That car is fantastic. I used to think the 2006 Accord looked a bit ugly too but pictures do not do the car justice.

I will perfer the current model. Euro R is coming, but the weight for the car is too heavy even Euro-R has 192kW power.... Why Honda don't think of the way to reduce the weight?? 14xx kg is the main problem in Euor.... Poor design… how come Honda make the Accord look like the Civic… I will perfer the current model.

No immediate indications of an update for the Altis or Camry yet. The Accord has been facelifted in Japan and the US but not in Malaysia, fine by me as I don’t like the new facelift anyway. The Sentra has been facelifted again. Nissan has to do alot better than this for their sedans. They seem to be focusing on the X-Trail and the Frontier for the moment. They still don’t have a proper competitor for the City and the Vios. Both the City and Vios have been facelifted in 2005.
