1. It's a smaller car than the Accord.

2. The front looks nothing like the Accord - there's some Civic in there.

3. The beltline resembles that of G6.

4. The C pillar is nothing like the Accord - it's more like Sonata/Malibu.

5. The tail section is nothing like the Accord.

So, where did you come up with the idea that they're building Accord clones? A clone is what a G5 is.

I don't know about Accord but if you showed me those pics minus the badge I'd definitely bet on a Honda product.

But if you squint your eyes just right...
