I sure hope Mazda can do something half as impressive for their next Mazda 6.

I can't imagine how good sales will be if it ends up looking like that.

That looks like an Audi TT crossed with a G35. Good job copying other companies again Honda.

Better chance that it's the SH-AWD than a FR platform.

SH-AWD would be pretty sweet on that! All it would need after that is a good engine and your set.

If i have the money in the near future, it'd get it! if it comes with SH-AWD!.

but it'd probably be a disappointment, it'll most likely be FWD.

Please excuse me for not getting excited over a rear-end only, artist's sketch of what the car *might* look like, especially since all past Honda Accords have been snore-inducing. Unless Honda has huge changes planned, it will remain the kind of car librarians drive.

Is that sketch the only picture available?

I say the same thing about all concepts. Car makers use concepts to build interest and then make the car look absolutely nothing like it. Even when they keep it somewhat similar looking you still don't know what it's going to have under the hood.

I'm much more excited about the production prototype for the Evo X that's coming in Detroit than some outlandish concept that will never see the light of day.
