I dunno, it's an Accord

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I actually don't think it's a bad looking car, but I doubt most normal people would recognize anything awesome about these. If I drove in a SiR or Euro R; it would just probably blend in with the other mudane sedans. While I like the SiR & Euro R; I'm going to have to say meh.

Nope. Try again.

[Famine]

Motoring muesli.

 

[UltimateYosh]

It's a car. Although I do think an untouched Euro-R (Most of them here are modded horribly) would be cool, It's not cool enough for the generation as a whole to be anything other than just Meh.

 

[AudiMan2011]

It's a car alright.

Meh.

 

[Michelin Man]

Pretty much as has been said before, in stock trim it's nothing special, but it's by no means awful either. Mind, and unmolested, well-cared for, Euro-R is something really rather nice indeed, especially since it's rare over here, also, I've always quite fancied the idea of a 4wd SiR Wagon...

Anyway, besides all that, it balances out at a Meh.

 

[TexRex]

It's a Honda Accord. It's uncool, but not seriously so.

 

[Wolfe]

It's an Acura TSX from before there was a TSX. Maybe not quite old enough to be cool yet, but I would certainly be intrigued if I saw one.

 

[TheCracker]

Car.

 

[epic_apri_39]

Placing it where I did because I like front wheel drive and I like touring car

Edit: I also believe it was eligible for Super Touring Cars so that's a thing I like

 

[05XR8]

Euro R is cool.

 

[VXR]

I didn't realise it shared its dashboard design with the Euro version.

I think a EuroR is neat, but it's not cool.

 

[Mike458]

It's a thing.

Uncool.

 

[LivingWithGames]

Eh, It's a car alright.

 

[Joey D]

Looked slightly better than the US spec car, but even in Japan I assume it was meant for family duty.

 

[Tornado]

It's handsome, but a lot of the midsized sedans of that era were.

 

[LumpiestFish]

The purple one in the additional photos looks quite nice, but there's nothing to me that says 'cool' about it. Meh

 

[C_Raccoon23]

I like the slighty aggressive look but it's still an Accord at the end of the day.

Meh.

 

[EngieDiesel]

Compared to other cars in its particular age and segment, it's alright. On the whole though... eh, it's very much the definition of "driving appliance". Not offensive in any way, but not really interesting either. So meh.

 

[mustafur]

A regular sedan with screaming 4 cylinder engines, I mean it looks uncool but everything else I would say is cool.

 

[TenEightyOne]

A faceless, humourless saloon whose grandparents were so much more epic. Proof that being reliable and well built sometimes aren't enough to stop you being seriously uncool.

 

[Turbo]

It's more interesting than the USDM Accord of the same time period, but it's still not cool.

 

[Danoff]

Loved the US version of this car... still uncool. What can I say, I love some things that are uncool.
