Hi, I'm just wondering if anybody knows the difference between the 2003 - 2008 Honda Accord and the new one. I haven't really looked closley at the newer version but the only difference I noticed was the front grill.

It's a different car. Engines are similar but upgraded. Oh and it costs €€€

It's a bit like asking the difference between a Mondeo and an Accord really

i think the new style accord is ugly especially the back of it ,the upgraded one i think new last year or this year is nice lookin looks reall wide and shapely diffrent front and dont know what engine is in it,it looks like the 2008 honda inspire.but still not as nice as the older inspire 90-94 verison

Seems to be a lot of confusion in this thread.
The 03-09 Accord is a lot different to the 09-present Accord. In every way. It's an all new car. The 03-09 one got a face-lift in around 2006, that included the front grille changed. Maybe it's the face-lift old model you're looking at. You'll know the all-new one the minute you see it.

I'm not upset, but you said that you thought the new shape Accord was ugly, but the upgraded one was nice. They're the same car! The upgraded one that came out last year is the new shape Accord! An all-new model.
That's why I said your post didn't make sense.

The Inspire is the Accord in the US (bit like our Accord is the Acura TSX over there)

its accord inspire ,but only built on the chassis of the accord ,engine is diffrent also the interior

my one for example is built on the 1990 accords frame ,however the frame is extended it has a diffrent engine and the inside is a complete diffrent car
on the outside the side looks similar the front is diffrent and the back.has a few oddball setups

Are you intersted in a specific version of the accord? ie on the 2003 to March 2008 you could have these different versions: 2.0 petrol (sport and executive) 2.4 petrol (type S and exec) or 2.2 Diesel (sport and executive) - Not to mention the Jap import Accord Euro R....


Or do you want to know the main chassis difference between the 2003 - 2008 model and the 2008 - present model?
