Before 2006, Guangzhou Honda Accord (Parameter Configuration Gallery) occupied an important share of the mid-level car market in China. After 2006, this situation was broken by Guangzhou Toyota Camry (parameter configuration gallery) and gradually replaced it. In 2008, the eighth generation Accord went on the market. In order to regain its own glory, an invisible bloody contest began ...
Mention the Accord and Camry, the consumption of China.
Are no strangers. Since the sixth generation Accord entered China automobile market, Accord has led the consumption trend of mid-level cars in China automobile market. For a period of time, ordinary consumers in China are more proud of owning an Accord, which shows how deeply the brand of Accord is rooted in people's hearts. However, since 2006, another Japanese car brand, Camry, which is also widely known, changed its name to Camry and went public in May 2006. With Camry's strong popularity, Camry has won the championship in China's intermediate automobile market, and its sales momentum is in full swing. The mid-level car market that Guangzhou Honda Accord has worked hard for many years is gradually being eroded by Guangzhou Toyota Camry. By 2007, Camry's sales momentum has surpassed that of the Accord, and it has taken the first place in the mid-level car market. In 2008 1 month, the newly redesigned eighth-generation Accord was re-unveiled, which impacted consumers' desire to buy cars with its atmospheric and dynamic appearance. The determination to regain the top spot is self-evident. Today, the author put these two secretly competing models together, so that readers can appreciate their respective advantages.

The body modeling of the eighth generation Accord has completely subverted the elegant modeling style of the seventh generation Accord, and replaced it with the concept of atmosphere and dynamics. Besides the Logo, there is no shadow of the old Accord on the body, which embodies innovative design trends everywhere. The front face of the eighth generation Accord has changed a lot, giving people a brand-new feeling. The front air intake grille completely broke through the design style of previous generations and adopted a large six-point type, which successfully blended the characteristics of sports and luxury. The heroic square headlights replaced the acute headlights of the old Accord and echoed the generous front grille, forming the main lines of the front face. The middle net is divided into 10 cells, which are horizontally arranged on the upper and lower floors, and are decorated with circular fog lights on both sides. The front face of the eighth generation Accord is invisibly divided into two levels, and the lines are straight and rigid, which is very powerful. The most conspicuous thing about the design of the eighth generation Accord is the bold use of lines by designers: on both sides of the car body, there is a straight groove that runs through the whole side car body very sharply. This groove is connected with the tail line at the taillight and naturally blends into the tail line.
The overall shape of Camry is calm and solemn, and the front face shape is much softer than the eighth generation Accord. Toyota's Logo is highlighted in the upper part of the three air intake grilles, indicating its identity. The U-shape with a large opening supports the air intake grille from the bottom of the front bumper and extends upward to both ends of the hood. The headlights are outlined by four straight edges, which adds a bit of car-scrapping to the soft front face. Camry's side body looks very full and adopts a classic high waistline design. Because consumers are used to this classic design, they will not have any antipathy to Camry. Camry's body shape gives people a heavy feeling, which is particularly prominent in the front and rear of the car. Camry's taillight group is designed in a fashionable but unassuming way, and the rear fog lamp is "narrowed" into a crack, which adds a heavy feeling to the rear of the car.
Comparing the appearance of the Eighth Accord and Camry, we can see that they have different styles of modeling elements. Accord body design is novel and innovative, and at the same time, a lot of unique lines are used to show dynamic personality; Camry's body shape is calm, and a lot of traditional techniques are used to shape classics. It seems that the eighth generation Accord is trying to win over those who are pursuing new ideas and dynamics through a style different from Camry's, while Camry attracts consumers who like to be subtle and pay attention to tradition through a calm appearance.
