A couple of fast cars.
Looks like an accord...

Well, here are some pics for everyone that says it looks like an accord and while there are similarities there are differences as well so I put a picture of c63, accord, and 335i coupe just for the heck of it. Seems to me cars are just becoming, well, androgynous...though I think the BMW looks more like the accord than the amg.

You know, everyone said the same thing about the w212 and the Mitsubishi Galant rear end looking exactly the same, but the moment people saw the new E-Class on the streets in person, they changed their minds quickly. I don't hear anyone mistaking a w212 for a Galant in any way, shape or form now.

That being said, the same thing will be for the w204 coupe and the Accord.

I believe the Accord Coupe design to be one of the best looking coupes available today. The fact that the C-coupe looks "similar" makes me like the C-coupe even more.

I think the accord coupe looks good but the C coupe doesnt look as good as the sedan. something about the roof line makes it look awkward to me...as well as the coupe and sedan looking exactly the same otherwise. bmw at least made the coupe and sedan slightly different

It actually looks much better in person. You cant really judge the car only by how it looks on the pictures.

For the sake of discussion, If anyone ever commented on your C63 Black Series and say it's an Accord. You can do the step's below.

Step 1. Unlock the Car.
Step 2. Put the key into the ignition.
Step 3. Awaken up the Monster.
Final Step. Ask the gentlemen or madam, "Does this sounds like a Accord?"

If Final Step doesn't work, Let your foot do some exercise on the right pedal.

for the sake of your reputation look at the picture posted above. He is directly comparing C63 Black Series and Honda Accord. Now am I missing something?

As for the steps you mentioned. I don think anyone but few people from car magazines and AMG staff can get their hands on the new BS. I still have to wait for mine to arrive.

Agree with Djovovic. In person, there is simply no resemblence to an Accord.

I couldn't agree with you more! One of the reasons mercedes and other high end makers cover up their cars when roadtesting is so companies like Honda have to wait 'til the latest Merc comes into production before they borrow from their designs. People will tend to by these lower end cars because they have design qualities built into them that resemble more expensive brands - can't buy the gucci, get the off-brand! To even suggest that a Merc, Jag, Bmw, ect., looks or has features that resemble a typical nondescript Honda would suggest that most people out there have a poor eye for such deatails.

Uhhh, the current Honda Accord coupe went on sale at the end of Sept 2007, the C-Class coupe was seen testing in heavy camo in July 2010...three years later. I doubt Honda stole the design of a car that was 4 years from production.

No MB yet
I see ZERO resemblance between the two. You have to be a complete dumbarse to think they look alike.

Accords are seen in your rearview mirror. C63's are seen through you windshield.

Honda makes great cars with the Accord coupe one of their best design ever (together with the NSX). I am happy my C63 looks similar in profile.

Wow, didn't ever see it in that light. They really all do look very similar I agree the sedan is much nicer looking. I was going to buy a c63 BS but after seeing only a two door and the price point I think I will pass. Its funny to see all the AMG leg humpers in some of these new threads.
