From the rear, it’s clear that the 2008 Accord won’t be blazing new styling trails, but the cleaned up rear end is a welcome improvement. While not as stylish as the coupe, the car exhibits some definite cribbing from vehicles such as the BMW 3 Series, especially around the rear pillar, door handles and the character line along the side. From the smallish wheels and single exhaust outlet we can assume that this is a four-cylinder model; the V6 will likely have two outlets and bigger wheels. Note that this prototype also has the large center-dash hood we spied in the coupe, increasing our speculation of a new navigation system, possibly with a larger screen than we’ve previously seen.
