The YZF-R15 body with its close resemblance to the YZF-R1

So, what were the specific design intentions for the YZF-R15?
We first asked the designers about the characteristics of the definitive cowl around the radiator. "For the YZF-R15 we first designed a cowling shape around the radiator that would make maximum use of the running airflow. To maximize the efficiency of the radiator, it is not only important how you design the shape of the front end where the air is drawn into the radiator but also the shape of the rear end, where the air is blown out and away. This is of course another area where experience from the R series model development was utilized.

This is the reason why the central cowl area has a somewhat sculpted, 3-dimensional shape that creates a sense of volume to the machine.

Another design element that reveals this model's R series DNA is the ‘two-eyed' headlight assembly. "Regarding these headlights we created them as a unit that was faithful to the R1's design in terms of the bulb structure and the inner portions. The YZF-R1 and YZF-R6 have a front mask design with surfaces structures in a way that actively cuts through the wind. We designed the YZF-R15 front also in this image of charging forward through the wind. This is another case of giving visual expression to performance," they add.

"Another defining characteristic of the R series models is the appearance of its form when it is actually running. This is reflected in elements like wide front space that provides wind protection for the rider, the sitting area that is slim and also offers a wide range of movement for greater ease of rider movement and machine operation and the design of the tail area with its concern for air management behind the rider. These are elements that faithfully reflect the design individuality of the R series models."

Other than these, there are impressive elements like the digital speedometer, the separate panels and the racy image of the area around the meters that project a look of quality and the exhilaration of the racing spirit.

But what is it that made this kind of design development possible?
"It was possible to a large extent because of a constant sharing of information with the actual YZF-R1 designers and the fact that they used the same modeling room for their design work. So, it is only natural that the design of the YZF-R15 should reflect the heritage of the R series so clearly," they conclude.

However, when you look closely, there are also a number of differences between the YZF-R15 and the YZF-R1. And surely there are sound reasons for the differences too, deriving from the actual need of the YZF-R15. But details like these are among the many secrets of t

ACCORD

The visual result is a completely transformed personality. The eighth-gen Accord has a massive street presence and looks ultra premium especially as you step out of the car while attending the most lavish parties that take place around the swishiest urban areas. It sports a longer wheelbase with an increase in width as well. This makes it larger than some of the cars that are twice its price!
The front looks aggressive with masculine styling highlighted by huge headlamps (sans Xenons though) and a raised bonnet. The same design elements are carried forth to the slightly flared wheel arches and a rear that looks elegant, however, the single exhaust protruding outwards looks unexciting. The raised lip on the boot is a la-BMW. Our test car was the top-of-the-line Accord Inspire which comes with a body kit as standard. It only accentuates the Accord's powerful and sleek looks.

The interiors of the Accord are lavish. Cosseted in cream leather seats, one can easily mistake it for a much expensive car. An increase in wheelbase pays dividends on the space front. The Accord can easily seat four adults in utter comfort and luxury. The interiors are well equipped with all kinds of electronic gizmos one usually expects from a car of this segment. The twin-pod instrumentation console looks fantastic at night with tiny white LEDs illuminating it and imparting a futuristic look. Though, they remain illuminated continually, they are only visible once it gets dark. The four-spoke steering feels great but the shocking omission of audio and other controls on the steering is a surprise. There will be a sizeable number of owners who would not want to be chauffeured around and the absence of the steering controls will really be a bother. We however loved the F1 style paddle shifters behind the steering wheel.

The climate control buttons are easy to use and the small screen around the buttons displays the usual audio and air-conditioner information. The rear seats are probably one of the best we have seen this side of the big expensive German brands. There is acres of leg space at the back and the central armrest has integrated audio controls to access the superb audio system. These features combined with dedicated rear air-conditioning vents hint at Honda's intention of targeting the new Accord primarily as a chauffer driven car. The seats have the correct amount of support, although the head rests felt a tad too firm for our liking.
