Ah, the Ford Mondeo estate…

Er, no actually. Though when you compare the two together there are remarkable similarities. No, this is a Honda, and it’s the company’s Accord Tourer concept. It previews the production Tourer (estate) that will be shown, along with the saloon, at the Geneva Motor Show next March. The two production cars will then go on sale in summer 2008.

For a start it’ll be completely different from the Accord saloon and coupe that are currently being readied for sale in America. The European-spec cars are different from the ground up. Honda wants the new Accord to be sportier than ever, partly because now more than ever it’s aiming directly at the Germans. That’s why we’ve got our fingers crossed that the production Accord will retain all the details seen on the Tourer concept. The only major changes should be the addition of production door handles, wing mirrors and wipers. Now if only the front didn't remind us so much of the Hyundai Genesis…
