The prior version of the accord and civic (especially the civic) both suffered from being overdone. Big globs of fake chrome, oversized front grilles, fake vents everywhere, stupid spoilers, unnecessary folds & creases in body panels, goofy-shaped tail lights….
It was all too much. They looked like they were designed by hyperactive teenage boys to appeal to hyperactive teenage boys.
I’m glad if they look a little more “boring” (what you call boring I call mature and refined). Something an adult can drive without embarrassment.
You can do sporty/edgy/flashy without overdoing it (ie: Mazda). Honda overdid it with the previous gen. A step backwards was the correct move.
But hey, maybe I’m just boring. I do like my stock Jetta!
