IMHO, I just don't see the Sonata as being a better looking car (either exterior or interior) than the newest or previous gen Accord.
C'mon, this:
vs this:
Doesn't it make sense that a lower priced car in the same class would outsell a higher priced competitor in a relentlessly down economy? If so, what took so long?
You might want to get your eyes checked. The 8th gen accord coupe was one of the ugliest accords ever made!! They realized that they screwed up the back so much on the initial design that in the later years they made the tailights pop out the side more so make it looks less like it's ass got chopped off by a clever. It made the car look better from the side and the front 3/4 angle but they went cheap and did not bother to change the rear bumper so it looks like the tail lights are tumors that are sticking out way past the poorly designed body lines.
notice how the tailights and the rear bumper just cuts clean off. It makes the vehicle look like a roach tail.
Again the rear looks like it got sent to the butcher to get some meat taken off.
Here is honda's poor job at attempting to fix it. Notice how the tail lights stick out way past the bumper? They went cheap on the rear bumper. The car actually looks half decent from the side or the front 3/4
see, now the car actually has a rear end.
