Honda Cars : 2013 Honda Accord Spyshot Compared to Honda Concept C Front End | 2013 New Honda Car Reviews 0

Well, there are no denying the similarities between the Honda Concept C and the recent spyshot of the 2013 Honda Accord Plug In Hybrid caught testing in California.  There's some heavy speculation that Honda is going to be putting a different face onto the Hybrid version from the normal Accord (a la Hyundai Sonata Hybrid), however I for one don't believe that Honda would do that (at lease to any dramatic degree).

Anyway, I love the front end of the spyshot and I think this is the shot in the arm that the Accord needs.

The top is a production revision of the Honda Concept C (which many of us are hoping will be a direction that the 9th generation Accord is going to go for North America) by Jahim-Myess, and the one below is the actual Concept C from Honda.  Looks great to me!

Honda Cars : Honda Concept S and Concept C show Chinese style | 2013 New Honda Car Reviews 0

I have to say that this closer look at the Concept S makes me appreciate it much more, and the Concept C is just gorgeous, I really hope that this is the direction of the next Honda Accord for North America!

Honda, in an effort to match Toyota’s triple concept outing in Beijing, premiered two concept vehicles developed for the Chinese market, called the Concept C and Concept S.

The names sound rather sedate upon first glance, but the C in this case stands for China and also Challenge and Cool, while the S translates into Stylish, Smart and Surprise, the company says.

Nothing too boring about the looks though, with the Concept C looking very much like a stretched and sleeked-out Accord on steroids – that dramatic front end won’t probably see the light of day in the production model, but much of the concept looks workable. Honda is set to develop the Concept C into a production model sometime next year.

Meanwhile, no mistaking the intent of the Concept S, a people mover in the mould of the Stream, but with more swoops and curves. Designed from the start as a hybrid offering, the Concept S will arrive in Chinese showrooms in 2013, produced and sold by Dongfeng Honda.

It won’t stop there – while the Concept S may have been developed with China as its primary market in mind, the vehicle is set to expand its presence by becoming a global offering in 2014.

Concept C
Concept C is a concept model for a middle-class sedan Honda is developing specially for the Chinese market. The "C" represents "Cool," "Challenge," and "China." The Concept C features a stately, distinctive and sporty design that was inspired by the image of a dragon. The product planning for this model was led by Honda's Chinese associates and the development was done through cooperation between development teams in China and Japan. Honda is planning to introduce a mass-production model based on this Concept C next year through Guangqi Honda Automobile Co., Ltd.
