Overly styled describes the Accord's nose, too. It looks better in the darker colors, which mask the profusion of slots, slashes, meshes, and lips.

The visual displays—the dials and the central screen—are positioned high, just a short glance from your view of the road. The controls you reach for are mostly stalks or are clustered centrally where the panel's contours hold them close to your right hand.

the interior ambience is a long, long way from where the Accord started back in 1976. It is, predictably, much closer in aura to a current Acura.

It's delicious.
