Not bad for a Honda, but it still looks more downscale than Acura (which it should be since they're less $$); my wife's '07 MDX at least has the full faux (although it looks quite real) wood grain everywhere and the controls are a bit nicer. 280HP for the '08 Accord will be good for Honda to compete against the '08 Nissan Altima Coupe and Toyota Camry with similar HP.
Hondas are great for what they are...very reliable (probably the most trouble free cars), very safe, fwd, everyday low to mid priced cars that can be loaded up to have very similar features as more expensive cars. I swear my wife's old '05 Honda Pilot drove like a large Accord. Her new Acura MDX drives better and feels more upscale though.
