First you saw the 2008 Honda Accord Coupe, and it was met with mixed reviews. Now, we have the 2008 Accord Sedan – though it’s just a drawing for now. Unfortunately, it looks like the ugly front end is staying put on the sedan as well. There’s no rear view yet, so I don’t know if it’ll be as aggressive as the coupe design, or more toned-down for the sedan buyers. I’ll keep you posted as I come across more information.

I think our Arab friend was using a little hyperbole. I would imagine that in his world gas is very cheap so fuel economy is not important. They also probably don’t have the emissions standrds that we have here in California.If going fast is sooo important there , they should all buy Corvettes.
Hello every one !
I have received some comments to my email from NSX-R & sjlee AND others , they were talking about dubai world cars ,

HMM INSTEAD OF CORVETTE’S THEY SHOULD WAIT UNTIL THE NEW 09 NSX COMES OUT. SINCE THEY HAVE THE MONEY TO GET THE BENZ AND BEAMERS.
S2000 (AKA NSX-R)
NSX-R(PART2) PLEASE DON’T USE OTHER PEOPLE’S USER NAMES……. IT’S CONFUSING TO OTHERS. WHERE DO YOU GET THE WHOLE IDEA TO MAKE THE CAR HEAVIER? I DON’T THINK SO. AND WHERE DID YOU GET PEOPLE GETTING KILLED IN JAPANESE CARS. PERSONALLY I’LL SAY DOMESTIC CARS HERE IN THE U.S. ESPECIALLY FORD ARE THE DEADLY ONES.
YAH A LITTLE HYPERBOLE MIKE…. YOU ARE BEING TOO GENEROUS, MAYBE MORE LIKE EXCESSIVE HYPERBOLE.
What any of this (Zaid’s comments) has to do with the original statement is beyond me. Also, I notice that none of my questions have been answered.
With posts like this, I find that it’s just a waste of time to reply…
“one more thing dubai is the first city in the whole world who receive the new amazing cars ”
“you are coming to talk about ecnomy , what kind of ecnomy , trust me whole the earth one day will be dissapear , tomorrow we all will die , why you should save for tomorrow ,”
I UNDERSTAND WHAT ZAID IS SAYING ABOUT THE WHOLE ISSUE OF THE EARTH DISSAPPEARING. BECAUSE THINK ABOUT IT, ESPECIALLY HERE IN AMERICA POLLUTION IS A HUGE PROBLEM. BUT IF YOU LOOK BACK IN1997 WHEN GAS WAS 86CENTS PER GALLON, DO YOU THINK AMERICA WAS REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING? I AS A YOUNG INDIVIDUAL SUCH AS MYSELF WAS ONE WHO SAUGHT FOR BIG SUV’S NORTHSTAR VORTEC ENGINES, CADDIES AND CHEVYS. TO ME THE BIGGER THE BETTER AND SAFER. MY PARENTS BELIEVED IN HAVING A STRONG ENGINE THAT WAS HEAVY ON ACCELERATION AND MASS WAS A GREAT CAR. ESPECIALLY WHEN WE USED TO LIVE 80 MILES SOUTH OF HOUSTON, COMMUTING BACK AND FORTH. WE HAD A GAS BIG GULP SUV, A 97YUKON 5.6L V8 WHICH I KNOW ME AND MY FAMILY WERE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT GAS PRICES, IN FACT I REMEMBER MY FATHER SAYING THAT HE WOULD NOT WANT ANYTHING LOWER THAN A V8 IN HIS CAR OR TRUCK. SO WHEN WE PULLED UP TO A GAS PUMP. IT WAS NEVER A BIG DEAL, IT WAS LIKE APART OF LIFE. WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET AROUND ANYWAY.
ANOTHER ISSUE THE HYBRIDS, I’M NOT BEATING DOWN THEM IN ANY WAY BUT THE COST OF THE HYBRIDS DOESN’T SEEM TO ADD UP. AND A LOT OF PEOPLE THESE FROM WHAT I’VE SEEN AND HEARD ONLY KEEP THEIR CARS FOR A FEW YEARS AND REPLCE IT WITH A NEWER MODEL. JUST LIKE HOUSES, VERY FEW FAR AND INBETWEEN WILL STAY IN A HOUSE FOR 7 YEARS OR LONGER, ESPECIALLY THIS GENERATION. TO ME THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE ARE GOING FOR HIGH MPG CARS IS BECAUSE OF THE HIGH COST OF FUEL, NOT THE POLLUTION. MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE WILL BE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR WALLETS THAN SOMETHING LIKE GREEN HOUSE GASES. CAUSE IF GAS WAS 89CENTS PER GALLON FOR PREMIUM I DON’T THINK WE WOULD BE SEEING THIS SUBCOMPACT CARS BUZZING AROUND.
I SAID ALL THAT TO SAY THIS. I CAN UNDERSTAND HIS STAND POINT AND I KNOW YALL HAVE MADE IT CLEAR THAT THEY ARE NOT CONCERNED WITH GAS PRICES.
TO SUM IT UP, WHY TRY TO PRESERVE WHAT’S GOING TO ROT AWAY ANYWAY. IT’S NOT LIKE SIPPING ON GAS WILL SAVE THE WORLD.
IF WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IT’S GOING TO TAKE SOME SERIOUS OVERHAUL ON THESE FACTORIES, POWERPLANTS AND OIL COMPANIES THAT ARE THE MAIN CAUSE OF THESE HARMFUL EMISSIONS AND GO STRAIGHT SOLAR WIND AND HYDRO POWER TO SEE SOME REAL CHANGES.
Personally I have always been concerned with pollution and energy efficiency. I have always walked or biked to work or school and put compact flourescent bulbs in my house 15 years ago before it was the rage. hang dry my clothes etc. But I agree people in general don’t care about conservation or pollution they only care when it bites thm in the pocket book.
Honda has always strived for fuel efficiency. Ford is a leader in PZEV. In haead to head crash the larger car usually wins but you are more likely to die per mile driven in an SUV than a small car becasue they are more likely to roll and cannot stop as quickly meaning more one vehicle crashes.
I think with tax breaks for hybirds they are worth it. Especially if the next generation prius lives up to its’ billing.But I do think we need to move toward mass transit and bike lanes rather than wish for 300 hp engines in family cars.
Since global warming seems to be “all the rage” these days, I thought this article would be good reading…

“TO SUM IT UP, WHY TRY TO PRESERVE WHAT’S GOING TO ROT AWAY ANYWAY. IT’S NOT LIKE SIPPING ON GAS WILL SAVE THE WORLD.”
That’s a pretty narrow-minded point of view. That’s like saying, why bother throwing a candy bar wrapper in the garbage can… it’s not like it’s going to make a big mess or ruin the world? Why have laws when people are going to break them?
You may consider pollution bad in the US, but it’s much worse in other countries. Many countries don’t have government agencies like the EPA doing studies on the environment and enforcing environmental laws. You think it’s bad here, check out places like Bombay or New Delhi… over populated cities with no restrictions on pollution whatsoever.
Consumer Reports has done the financial analysis of hybrids. In most cases, the additional cost of a hybrid model (Camry, Accord, RX400, etc.), does not offset the gas savings and tax break. With the Prius, it’s hard to compare it since there is no non-hybrid version. In general, you should not purchase a hybrid if your sole purpose is to save money.
The Earth has been around for millions of years… and it will probably be around for another million. On the other hand, humans may not.
That’s a pretty narrow-minded point of view.
SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW?
That’s like saying, why bother throwing a candy bar wrapper in the garbage can… it’s not like it’s going to make a big mess or ruin the world? Why have laws when people are going to break them?
SERIOUSLY I’M TALKING ABOUT GREEN HOUSE GASES AND EMISSIONS. NOT TRASH OR LAWS.
YAH BUT WHEN YOU THROW AWAY PLASTIC ITEMS SUCH AS DISPOSABLE CUPS, PLATES, CAMERAS. WERE DOES IT ALL GO? IN THE OVERFLOWING LAND FILLS WHERE IT WILL SIT THERE FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND NOT DECOMPOSE. I’M SURE FACTORIES ARE NOT DUMPING CHEMICALS INTO OUR OCEANS AND LAKES AND THE SAME WATER THAT IS CHEMICALLY TREATED FOR US TO DRINK. I’M SURE THAT TANKER SHIPS AREN’T SPILLING OIL AND KILLING SEA LIFE. AND I’M POSITIVE POWERPLANTS AREN’T DUMPING NUCLEAR WASTE UNDERGROUND WHERE THE RADIATION WILL STAY FOR DECADES AND HOPEFULLY WON’T KILL US.
TAKE A LOOK AT THE PARKING LOTS… PRIME EXAMPLE, THIS IS WHAT WE ARE DEALING WITH THOSE TYPE OF MINDSETS. IT’S EASY TO SAY WHAT YOU SAY. BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AROUND IT’S REALITY, I SEEN PLENTY WITH MY OWN EYES, ESPECALLY WORKING IN A MAJOR ELECTRONIC RETAIL STORE. DEMOS ARE JUST THROWN AWAY, NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THEM, THINGS THAT CAN BE REUSED OR FIXED, I EVEN ASKED IF I COULD TAKE IT HOME SINCE THEY CAN’T USE IT. AND THEIR EXCUSE IS “WE WILL LOSE PROFITS IF WE GAVE EVERYTHING AWAY.” SO THEY TRASH THEM, I PERSONALLY WATCHED THEM DO IT. IT BURNS ME TO SEE SOMETHING GO TO WASTE AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AT ALL!
YOU CAN SAY THAT’S DIFFERENT, I’LL PUT IT THIS WAY IT MAY NOT EFFECT US IF WE JUST THROW IT AWAY. BUT OTHER WILL BE AFFECTED.
THESE DOCUMENTARY EVENTS. IT’S NOTHING NEW, NOR DOES IT SURPRISE ME. YOU GOT ONE THING STRAIGHT WE MIGHT KILL OURSELVES (HUMAN RACE) OFF BY OUR OWN GREED.
WE CAN THANK THE GREED OF THIS NATION ESPECIALLY CAPITOLISM DRIVEN COMPANIES WHO CARE LESS ABOUT PEOPLE AND THEIR INHABITANTS BUT THEY CARE FOR THEMSELVES.
I KNOW THAT OTHER COUNTRIES SUFFER BECAUSE OF OUR GLUTON GREEDY LIFESTYLE IN AMERICA BECAUSE WE WANT EVERYTHING CONVENIENT. FOR EXAMPLE, IN CHINA THE U.S. IS DUMPING OLD COMPUTER PARTS LIKE MONITORS WHICH CONTAINS LEAD INTO THEIR RIVERS AND LANDS I SAT THERE WATCH THROUGH THE TUBE LITTLE CHILDREN HAVING TO STEP OVER OUR OWN MESS THAT WE HAVE DECIDED TO THROW AWAY. OUR OWN WASTE IS BEING DUMPED INTO OTHER COUNTRIES.
I DON’T THINK AS A WHOLE, US AS A NATION IS PUTTING FORTH SOME EFFORTS IN RESOLVING THESE ISSUES.
Interesting. First you say my trash analogy doesn’t apply, but then you go and complain about dumping trash in China.
There’s way more to life than what you see in that electronics store. Grocery stores, restaurants throw away perfectly good food at the end of the day. I’m talking about food… a necessity in life, not electronics. Many places would like to donate the food, but what happens if someone gets sick eating the food? Most places aren’t willing to take that risk.
I love how Americans complain about America. Are you doing anything about it? Do you honestly think that greed is limited to our country? If the Chinese government didn’t allow it, no one could dump their trash there. Where do you think any country with nuclear power does with their nuclear waste?
As far as landfills and polluting, like it or not we all (including you) contribute to it on a daily basis. So, when you start pointing fingers and complaining about pollution, I hope you’re including yourself. The US (as a nation) includes all of us. You can sit back, complain, say that it’s hopeless and watch the world crumble around you, or you can actually try to do something about it.
Ugh, why are we discussing this here anyway? Last time I checked, it was a car forum, not a political forum.
I’M NOT GOING TO WASTE TIME ARGUING ABOUT WHO’S COMPLAINING ABOUT WHO. LET’S CUT THE NONSENSE AND GET BACK TO THE ACCORD…..I PREFER THE COUPE, THE SEDAN IS A LITTLE TOO MUCH FOR ME.
WOOOOOOOW thats bad-@$$!!! I think Honda needs to make its first ever V8! Dont you? My mom ownes a 96 honda accord sedan 4 cyl vtec EX and i love it! it drives like a sports car! And my grandma also ownes a 95 honda civic delsol Doch vtec all stock 135K miles 160hp the torque could be a lot better but still that thing is 4 cyl killer and it is a 4cyl ha ha ha!
I see it as we all dont care about anything, BUT MONEY! Its a good thing we are trying to save $ by making mpg improvements. But at the same time what about our inviorment? I wonder when we will be laying in our trash? And using other countries to save us from the truth! Isnt it about time we did something about every thing and not just about little things at a time?
Anyone know if the 2008 Accord has started mass production yet?
Probably not. I think the projected release date isn’t until October.
I’ve seen two different versions of the 2008 Accord sedan, one of which I think is fabulous:
http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/354/C8105/
…and another which is awful:
http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/11/spy-shots-2008-honda-accord-sedan-spied/
Can anyone confirm which one is the right one? Hopefully it’s the first one, not the second. Of course, the one posted on this site is a third version, which isn’t too bad.
I’m confused. This is the third version of the 2008 Accord Sedan I’ve seen. It’s not bad, but here’s the one I like better:
http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/354/C8105/
And here’s one I REALLY hope they don’t go with:
http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/11/spy-shots-2008-honda-accord-sedan-spied/
Can anyone clarify this for me?
Julie,
The pic at MobileMag is just a pic, and not a production unit. Truth be told, I like that one the best – looks like a big Civic, which I think is a great looking car. The one pictured at Autoblog is the production unit, just covered up. Unmasked pictures can be found here.
I only saw pictures of the coupe, not the sedan. I wish it was like the first one too (the one that looks similar to a Civic). I still want to see the 2008 Accord Sedan unmasked. Of course, I don’t think I’ll need one until 2009, but the design will be the same then too.
Julie – The pictures of the new Accord sedan are located in the same place as the pictures of the Accord coupe… you just have to click on the picture.
Here’s a direct link to the pictures…

Thanks! That helps.
Hey julie , take it easy , i also wish it will look like the civic ,
but unfortunilty there’s nothing is perfect ,
i prefer lexuse much better than honda
This is the japanese honda accord sport. Looks a lot better than US accord, right?
hi whats up from what i heard and read the new 08 accord is goin to be a 3.5 liter with i-vtec and 273 hp with hondas new gen vcm engine honda is looking to compete with altima and camry which i think looks wise the coupe accord is betta then both i have a 07 accord v6 and think its fast enough but more horse bigger liters im ready to trade mine in and move up.lol
hi
the new V6 gets a half liter more, moving up to a 3.5-liter i-VTEC V6 engine with 273 HP at 6,200 rpm and 250 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm with a 5-speed slushbox. The new engine also introduces Honda’s next-gen Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) technology to give the new Accord four-door a purported EPA City/Highway fuel economy of 19/29 mpg.
Whats happening, final #s on the X-RATED Accord 3.5 litre i-VTEC V-6 bumping 268hp_250lb/tq and Hondas newly developed VCM (Variable Cylinder Managment)which can run in 4,5,or,6cyl modes to deliver optimum power and varying mpg……….GREAT GAS MILEAGE…HIGH POWER AND LOOKS THAT’LL MAKE MUSTANG GT PISS ITSELF YEAH I’M HAPPY…
I purchased an EX-L V6 Honda Accord 3 weeks ago. I currently have 889 miles on it. I took a trip this past week-end on I-35 from Oklahoma to Kansas and back. Total miles driven was 590 miles at 70 MPH. I was under the impression this car would get between 29 MPG on the highway. I was disappointed with the gas milage as I only averaged 26 MPG. The 2001 Volvo S80 T-6 I had prior to getting this car was rated for 26 MPG on the Highway and it would get 28 MPG at 70 MPH. This new Accord is rated for 29 on the Highway and gets 26 MPG.
What gives? Is this 2008 Accord v-6 not capable of getting 29 MPG on the Interstate?
Congrats on the new purchase. Your mileage could be due to any number of things, so I’m wildly speculating here. My best guess would be to give it time, because your engine is brand new and not broken in yet. A few thousand miles under the belt and your mileage should improve.
Also it could be that you need to get used to the new car – anytime I get a new car I have to get a feel for what works and what doesn’t in the mileage area – takes some getting used to. Perhaps you aren’t getting into 3cylinder mode very often? The VCM is the main reason that the Accord is able to get such a strong EPA highway rating, considering it’s packing 268 HP.
