I've seen it in person too. I thought it looked worse than in pictures or the youtube videos. Not ugly, just plain and generic. I'm sure many other's will find it more attractive than me.
Very nice. Audi like. Clean and a nice alternative to the tortured sheet metal we've seen for years.I watched a few youtubers review the 2023 Accord, but they were top trims under studio lights. This is the LX in the wild. It looks like the Ford Taurus and Saturn L300 had a child. What has Honda done to the Accord? Even the upper trims look ugly and blob like. I like the clean looking interior but that’s where it stops. Then they put the 1.5T in all trims.

Not a fan of that light bar what Hyundai calls "seamless horizon". 2024 Kona gets that silly thing too..
2024 Sonata...... IMO Much better looking vehicle vs the new Accord
They start at close to $30k and reliability of the 1.5T and CVT are questionable at best. So not only is it not "sexy", there's no value or reliability either.
The CVT/1.5T assertion is based on…?
The 1.5T has head gasket and fuel dilution issues. Honda's CVT has had the usual early failures that plague most CVTs.
Again, source? Consumer Reports (say what you will, but it’s the best source of objective information on such subjects) rates both engine and transmission as much more reliable than average. Yes, the 1.5T does have fuel dilution issues but they don’t seem to correlate to real engine problems. And even on this persnickety board it’s hard to find reports of actual 1.5T/Honda CVT failures.
IDK, looks to me like all of the expensive stuff, like the body stampings and glass were carried over from the Gen 10 and Honda simply did a nice update to clean up the front and rear ends.I watched a few youtubers review the 2023 Accord, but they were top trims under studio lights.
