I agree. In the nicest way possible, I don't like the 8th gen..at all. I'm not bashing and I'm not jealous. I could have bought an 08 if I had wanted one. I didn't care for the LED tails on the 06-07's and I like the all red 05 tails better. That's why I bought it. Not because it's "new and cool" with it's ugly grill, ugly chrome tail lights and high BMW 5 series wannabe body lines.
While i'm on the subject, I think all past Accords except 7th gen are ugly too. 6th gen is the only other one I could ever stand to own...but of course, that's MY opinion, NOT yours.
