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.

Honda is actually slightly behind Toyota for reliability and durability. They have been a leader in efficiency. also make the best handling cars in their class. The new Camry jumped ahead of the Accord in terms of power and mileage although I would expect the new Accord to regain both those positions.
I meant to say Honda has always been a leader in efficiency and good handling.
R u sure that Honda is behind Toyota for reliability and durability? IMO, comparing camry vs. accord, camry have many minor problem compared to accord. Also, my friend’s 2002 camry has cracks on its interior cheap plastic parts. 2007 camry has a lot of complaints about rattles and powertrain problem. How did you make the general conclusion? I would say they are same in reliabilty and durability.
If you pick any ONE category (e.g. handling, acceleration, price, MPG, safety, reliability, etc.), you can find a competing car that does it better than the Accord.
What you won’t find is one that beats the Accord in every category. The beauty of the Accord is that Honda has created a vehicle that is not great in any one category, but rather very good in all categories.
Regarding reliability, Toyota seems to have a slight edge over Honda (per Consumer Reports), but it’s very close.
Every time I read an article about auto reliability Lexus is first and Toyota is second.Then usually Acura Infiniti and Honda.Honda is still MUCh above average and close to the leaders.
I AGREE WITH SJLEE, HONDA IS GOOD ALL AROUND IN EACH CATEGORY. TOYODA ARE GOOD CARS BUT COMPARED POUND FOR POUND HONDA IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN TOYODA. TOYODA IS A JAPANESE GENERAL MOTORS, IN FACT TOYODA MIGHT SURPASS GM IN SALES.
IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, THEIRS NOTHING LIKE A HONDA, I’VE BEEN A HONDA FAN FOR 7 YEARS AND I’M NEVER TURNING BACK.
I READ ALMOST EVERY MAGAZINE, I’VE SEEN NOTHING BUT GREATNESS FROM HONDA, FOR EXAMPLE THE CIVIC, AND FIT. WHERE THE MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED CARS MENTION IN THE CONSUMER REPORT. YOU KNOW HOW THEY TEST VARIOUS CARS THAT ARE IN THE SAME CATEGORY. WELL A FEW YEARS AGO I DON’T KNOW IF IT WAS THAT OLD BUT THEY COMPARED FIVE MID SIZE TRUCKS AND RATED THEM ON HOW WELL THEY DID IN EACH OF THE TESTS. THE TOYODA TOCOMA, HONDA RIDGELINE, CHEVY COLORADO, DODGE DAKOTA AND NISSAN FRONTIER.
AFTER THE TESTS WERE DONE, THIS WAS THE LAYOUT.
HONDA RIDGELINE TOOK 1ST FOLLOWED BY NISSAN FRONTIER, TOYODA TACOMA, CHEVY COLORADO, AND DODGE DAKOTA. THE ONLY BAD THING THEY HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE RIDGELINE WAS IT’S BOXY APPEARANCE.
//I’m the owner / author of this site. //HA! I KNEW IT! MY HUNCH WAS RIGHT. BUT I COULDN’T PUT MY FINGER ON IT. EVERYBODY SEEMS PRETTY LEVEL HEADED WHEN IT COMES TO CARS. BUT OF COURSE THIS IS FOR CAR MANIACS LIKE ME, HEH HEH. ^.^ OH, BY THE WAY, GREAT SITE MAN. I LIKE THESE ARTICLES AND REVIEWS HERE. KUDOS TO YOU .
I reread the April issue of Consumer Reports again last night, and it did rank Toyota/Lexus higher than Honda/Acura in terms of overall reliability. You will find cases where a Honda vehicle is more reliable than a Toyota, but overall it seems that Toyota is ranked higher. Honda is a very close second.
When comparing the two, it seems that Hondas are less expensive than comparable Toyotas. Hondas seem to have more emphasis on performance (sportier styling, handling), while Toyotas have more emphasis on comfort (quieter, smoother ride).
The new Camry is faster than the current Accord, but I’d expect that to change with the new Accord.
Thanks NSX-R – I just try to tell it like it is.
sjlee – The new Camry is def. faster than the 07 Accord, no question about it. However, the handling is simple atrocious in the new Camry – I’m talking like old Crown Victoria bad. It’s simply horrible. Ya, the Accord has some serious body roll issues, but at least it goes where you want it to. The Camry has horrible horrible understeer.
Agreed. It goes back to my earlier comment that there are cars to do individual things better than the Accord, but none that do everything better than the Accord.
For example, the new Camry is faster than the Accord, but doesn’t handle as well (probably because it is tuned for a comfortable ride). On the other hand, the Ford Fusion handles better than the Accord, but probably will not be as reliable.
I agree that Honda makes the best all around cars dollar for dollar. But Toyota does rank higher in reliability. Car magazines pick Honda oever Toyota because the guys at those magazines value handling and responsiveness much more than reliability.
I think it’s very interesting to watch everyone try to rationalize their own desires, but I believe the truth will be somewhere in between. I sell Honda’s, and the buzz around the company is to expect to a HP rating in the 260′s and an increase of about 10% in fuel economy. Also, you can say what you want about handling, performance, etc. but take this as fact: Honda is putting it’s emphasis on Safety and Reliability… …IN THAT ORDER! No manufacturer that competes head to head with Honda has as many safety features as standard equipment on their cars. In ANY category. Every single model that Honda produces has more standard safety features than any car it is competing against. Front side curtain air bags… STANDARD across the line. Active head restraints… STANDARD across the line. Toyota DOES NOT have as many standard safety features. No one does. And this is a trend you can expect to see continue. Honda is striving to have consumers link the Honda brand to safety. This is their main marketing objective at this time. When the new Accords do come out, and we’re all drooling over or perhaps complaining about the specs sheet, take a moment to check out the safety features and compare them to the current Camry or Altima. I think you’ll be amazed at what Honda gives you, and question why their competition charges you extra for your own safety.
I agree that Honda is a leader in safety and also efficiency. I would have to say though that Hyundai offers as much safety features and crash test scores as honda.
THIS I KNOW ALREADY, THAT’S WHY I HAVE A CIVIC. THAT’S WHY I LIKE HONDA .THAT’S WHY I CHOSE THE CIVIC OVER THE FIT, BECAUSE OF FUEL ECONOMY, SAFTEY ETC, AND NOT JUST THAT BUT THE WAY THE LAYOUT AND DESIGN OF THE CAR DREW ME TO IT. BUT HERE THIS IS A FORUM WERE EVERYBODY SHARES KNOWLEDGE AND DESIRES THEY LIKE TO SEE. THAT’S WHY WE ARE THE CUSTOMER, AND THEY ARE THE COMPANY, THEY LISTEN TO US, NOT EVERYTHING BUT MAJOR POINTS THAT DEPEND ON THEIR SUCCESS. BUT NOT EVERYBODY SEES HONDA THE WAY YOU DO. I DO LOOK AT THE PERFORMANCE THAT I DON’T DENY, AND RELIABLITY ALONG WITH HANDLING, WHILE ANOTHER PERSON COULD BE LOOKING AT THE RESALE VALUE OR SAFETY. I BELIEVE EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS WHAT HONDA STANDS FOR AND THAT’S WHY THEY ARE THE BEST. I’VE DONE PLENTY OF RESEARCH TO KNOW THIS. ESPECIALLY ON THE NEW FCX FUEL CELL CAR THAT HONDA HAS DEVELOPED, THAT WAS THEIR MAIN CONCERN, SAFETY DURIBLITY ETC. I LIKE THIS PART ABOUT HONDA BIG THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES. I’M NOT SAYING THAT IT’S ALL PERFORMANCE, THIS IS AN AREA THAT I CHOSE TO LOOK AT BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE IS OUTSTANDING IN WHAT HONDA HAS DONE. NO DOUBT SAFETY IS A VERY BIG ISSUE, I’M A CAR FINATIC THIS IS WHAT I THINK, AN OPINION, OF COURSE MORE THAN LIKELY THEY WON’T PUT A 300HP OR WHAT EVER, I’M JUST DEMOSTRATING WHAT HONDA CAN DO IF THEY REALLY WANTED TO. NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS. NO HARD FEELINGS HERE, I JUST DON’T WANT PEOPLE GETTING ONE SIDED ON AN ISSUE THAT IS ALL. HONDA DO WHAT YOU DO BEST FOLLOW THE MOTTO.
” HONDA, THE POWER OF DREAMS.”
WHY DO THEY HAVE THE CIVIC SI? OR THE S2000, OR THE NSX-R? IT’S THE HERITIAGE OF HONDA, TO LEAVE OUT PERFORMANCE IS NEGATING OF WHAT HONDA ITSELF WORKED SO HARD FOR. A 1.5 LITER ENGINE GETS THE SAME PERFORMANCE OF A 1.7 LITER WITH BETTER GAS MILEAGE AND LESS POLLUTION. SAFETY, RELIABILTY, ECOSYSTEM FRIENDLY, SMART DESIGN, PERFORMANCE, HANDLING. THEY ALL COME TOGETHER MAKE UP HONDA. THEY ALL GO HAND TO HAND, ANY OF THEM ARE NOT NEGLECTED. WE CAN GET ALL TECHINCAL ALL WE WANT INCLUDING ME, BUT THERE’S NO POINT IN ARGUING OVER THESE PETITE ISSUES. LET’S JUST TALK ABOUT CARS BECAUSE NO MATTER WHO SAY WHAT HONDA WILL DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO. PERIOD.
HEY IF A 4 CYL IS A FOUR BANGER, THEN WHAT MAKES A 6CYL. A SIX PACKER? OR BIG SIX? *.* I’M KIND OF CURIOUS…..
I didn’t mean to sound preachy about the whole safety issue, I was just trying to add a bit of insight as to the company’s current focus. As a matter of fact, I agree that I would like to see Honda get a bit more aggressive with the new Accord. Since we’re just dreaming here, here’s what I’d like to see; Honda has made it clear that the entire line will eventually be updated to the “i” VTEC series of engines, so why not create a larger and more powerful version of the Civic Si? Take the V6, 6-speed Accord “i” VTEC, push it to 300 HP, give it the same 8000 rpm redline and market it as the Accord Si. Show me a handling package with stiffer suspension, put the 18″ HFP rims on it and maybe a more aggressive rear spoiler. Offer it in a sedan as well, and you can sign me up! That way I can buy the four door Honda my wife wants for hauling the kids around, and I can still get my rocks off when I run to the store for milk. Hey Honda, if you’re reading this… I’M SERIOUS!!! This is the vehicle I would like to purchase, and you already have all the tools and technology to produce it. Let’s go boys, show me where to sign!
YOU TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT MY MOUTH J DOGG. AN SI ACCORD SOUNDS REALLY GOOD RIGHT ABOUT NOW. YES!!! THAT’S WAS EXACTLLY WHAT I TRYING TO TELL EVERYBODY. OH HONDA PLEASE HEED TO THESE REQUESTS!
You don’t have to ask Honda to make an Accord Si, they already make one… it’s called the Acura TL.
For starters the reason a Civic Si can exist is because they do not offer anything in that size with an Acura logo. On the other hand, the TL and TL Type-S are both built off the Accord platform.
To make an Accord Si with 300 HP would make it outperform the TL Type-S.
Unfortunately sjlee, you are too right. The TL Type-S sits at what, 280-ish HP? That’s an off the top of my head figure, so it may be off. It would seem kinda off for Honda to beat their high-end Acura with a measly Accord.
Still, I might have trouble talking myself out of an Accord SI coupe if it were priced and spec’ed right……
The base TL has a 3.2L VTEC V6 rated at 258 HP/233 ft-lbs, while the TL Type-S has a 3.5L VTEC V6 with 286 HP/256 ft-lbs.
I could see if the Accord Si and TL Type-S were built off different platforms that they could co-exist (like the TSX and current Accord).
An Accord Si coupe could be a possibility… since they no longer offer the CL. They could also call it the Prelude as well.
THIS IS THE PROBLEM, I DON’T WANT A TSX OR A TL. I LIKE THE SIMPLICITY OF THE HONDA ACCORD/ CIVIC, THE CIVIC DOESN’T OFFER A V6, THE ACCORD DOES BUT IT’S NOT AS SPORTY AND IT DOESN’T HANDLE WELL. I PERSONALLY AS A YOUNG ADULT IN MY EARILY TWENTIES WOULD NOT APPRECIATE ACURA TL OR TSX. PLUS I DON’T WANT TO PAY TOP DOLLAR FOR A LUXURY/SPORTY CAR. PLUS WHY DON’T THEY UM UP THE TSX AND TL, TURBO 300 HP THAT SINCE THEY TURBOED THE RDX ADD STIFFER OR SMOOTHER SUSPENSION. THEN OFFER A EVERYDAY SPORTY ACCORD SI WITH LESS ELECTRONIC BELLS AND WHISTLES AND PRODUCE A HARD WORKING SIMPILIED TSX. LIKE CHEVY IS TO GMC, GMC IS MORE LUXURY LIKE BUT THEY DON’T CUT THE CHEVY’S PERFORMANCE. OR LIKE THE CADILLAC CTS THAT HAS A CORVETTE ENGINE @455HP THEN ON TOP OF THAT FILLED WITH ALL SORTS OF NAV.SYSTEM, 6CD CHANGER ETC. THEY DON’T NEED TO WITH HOLD A SPORTY CAR BECAUSE THEIR LUXURY CAR IS IN THAT SAME REALM. I’M SAYING IS OFFER A MORE LUXURY PACKAGE ALONG WITH BETTER PERFORMANCE, HANDLING SAFETY, ETC. ALSO, THE RSX BEFORE THEY KILLED IT AND CIVIC SI WERE BEING PRODUCED TOO. THE RSX 210HP 2.0L AND THE CIVIC SI 190HP 2.0L. APPARENTLY BOTH DID WELL AND I DIDN’T READ OR FROM HONDA THAT THE CIVIC HAD SUCKED THE RSX LIFE. ON FACT MANY PEOPLE I READ WERE SHOCKED ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO HAD A RSX AND RSX FANS. BELIEVE ME I DON’T THONK IT’S BECAUSE OF THE TL/ TSX, THAT MIGHT BE PART OF THE PROBLEM BUT FROM WHAT I CAN SEE IS THAT PEOPLE VIEW THE ACCORD AS A FAMILY CAR, NOT A POTIENTAL SPORTS CAR OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT, AND THAT’S THE REASON THAT HONDA PROABLY HAVEN’T GONE INTO. ALSO THE FIT, THE FIT DIDN’T COME AROUND UNTILL THE SCION XA, XB CAME OUT, AND SAW HOW SUCCESSFUL IT WAS. BACK TO THE RSX BUT I HEARD I ONLY HEARD THAT THEY KILLED THE RSX WAS TO OFFER A POTIENTAL TSX COUPE, SOMETHING ALONG THAT LINE. I READ THIS FROM AN ARTICAL ONLINE TALKING ABOUT THE DEAD RSX, DON’T REMEMBER THE SITE.
THIS IS HOW THEY SHOULD DO IT.
ASI STANDS FOR ACCORD SI
HP_DPL_NA/TURBO_DRIVE TRAIN
TL 340HP 3.2L TURBO AWD
TSX 320HP 3.0L TURBO AWD
A-SI 280HP 3.0L NA FWD
HAVE THE C SERIES MOTORS THAT WAS USED IN THE NSX. TURBOCHARGE THEM AND PLACE THEM IN BOTH THE TSX AND TL. THEN USE THE V6 MOTOR FROM THE TSX.
THIS IS WHAT I DON’T UNDERSTAND, WHY DO THEY HAVE A TL AND TSX? DON’T THEY BOTH SERVE THE SAME PURPOSE, AND IN THE UK THEY HAVE THE ACCORD EURO ACCORD WHICH SUITS BOTH LUXURY/SPORTS AND FAMILY.
Until they redesign the TL, they won’t be able to offer an Accord Si sedan. If you add up all the additional features to get an Accord Si, you’ll arrive at the same price as a TL. Right now an EX-L V6 goes for about $30k. You start adding a bigger engine, bigger wheels and other things… and the price gets into the mid 30s, which is TL territory. In other words, why would anyone pay $35k for an Accord Si when they could get a TL (which is relatively the same size) for the same price?
The RSX Type-S and current Civic Si never really co-existed. The current Civic Si coupe came out as a 2006 model, which was the last model year for the RSX. In other words, Honda had already planned on discontinuing the RSX when they released the Civic Si. Besides, the RSX still had more HP ( 20).
The TSX and TL don’t serve the same purpose. The TSX is based off the European Accord, which is smaller than the US Accord, which is what the TL is based off of. In addition, the TSX handles better than the TL. The TSX is more of an entry-level luxury sedan, while TL is Acura’s midpoint entry… with the RL as the top-line car.
You can’t really compare other markets to the US. They don’t offer the US Accord overseas because there really isn’t a big market for bigger automobiles. They also do not have the Acura luxury brand over there. This is why they have to have multiple models of the Euro Accord… to cover both markets.
You also make comparisons with Chevy, GMC and Cadillac. First of all, the GMC brand is only truck based vehicles. That being said, GM has always differentiated the two brands by luxury options, while Honda has always differentiated their Acura brand with higher performance. In addition, the Cadillac CTS-V and Chevy Corvette are two different vehicles (luxury sedan vs. performance coupe). I already said that I could see an Accord Si coupe since there no longer is an Acura CL, but if you’re talking Accord Si sedan, then that would be too much like the TL. Besides, I wouldn’t expect Honda to follow GM’s example when it comes to diversifying their vehicle offerings. As it stands GM is slowly simplifying their offerings because they have offered way too many duplicates.
sjlee has hit the nail on the head
INTRESTING, I SEE.
With the spy shots out, which look nothing like the conceptual drawing, what are everyone’s thoughts? I don’t think I particularly like the styling…meh…
YAH, I’M IN DISBELIEF BUT…. THAT’S WHY I HAVE MY SIGHTS ON THE COUPE. I’M HOPING FOR THE COUPE WILL FAIR BETTER THAN THE SEDAN AS FAR AS LOOKS.
this is a fake drawing
this is the front of the coup grafted on the tl. I have seen the 08 sedan and its definitely not the same car
someone made it with photoshop
To the last three posts… thanks for stating the same thing that’s been posted already.
In any case, I’d say the majority of the time the production version of cars never look like the conceptual drawings. Remember, we’re talking about the Accord sedan which has to appeal to the masses… in other words, it’s going to be conservative.
The spy shots are still misleading with all the masking… I’m going to still hold my final opinion until I see it without any disguises.
this is not a concept photo it has been made by a kid probably you sjlee
good job with photoshop though, Id buy it in a heart beat
where did this pic come from does anyone really know?
OK …SO THE COUPE DOESN’T LOOK LIKE THE SEDAN. PERSONALLY I’M GLAD IT DOESN’T.
WE ARE ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT THE SPY SHOTS THAT WERE TAKEN JUST RECEENTLY OF THE SEDAN. NOT THE CS2 PIC YOU SEE HERE.
YAH THERE REALISTIC CARS ARE GOING TO BE PLAIN, JUST LIKE THE 07 MODEL. AGAIN…THAT WHY I’M LOOKING AT THE COUPE.
THIS PICTURE IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE SI ACCORD NEEDS TO LOOK LIKE. SEDAN STYLE!
people said the accord couldnt jump to 300 because it would over power the tl. it would only over power it for a year because it is due for a remake. and it could be an si version not the regular version. theink oubout when the current generation accord came to the market in o2 and a 03 model it had more power then the honda and acura’s entire line of cars to include the tl for a year and the rl for a couple of years./ If honda wants to it could be easily done because people would definitely buy a powerful accord si.
The 2003 Honda Accord V6 was rated at 240 HP. It’s true that the 2003 TL only had 225 HP, but the TL Type-S had 260 HP. Please re-read my post… I was talking about the Type-S… not the base TL.
And to “lrktj”, I never said it was a concept photo. I’m the one who said it was a photoshop… and I’m not even close to being a kid.
Does anyone know when the honda 2008 is coming out dealers, and what month it will be on the market.
My guess is that it’ll be available in the late summer/early fall… probably about Aug/Sept timeframe.
I’m sure Honda will officially give a date in the next couple months. They don’t like to announce it too early. otherwise, their sales of the ’07 model will slow down with people waiting for the new one.
hello every one , actualy i have a big experience on cars sales and i have touched the taste of the people desire ,
If the honda accord want to be the best in the market , they have to study the taste of the people again before they load any car ,
honda accord can be the best car even better than all the germany cars , but still they need to study it well ,
am driving 2007 honda accord V6 – 244HP , i dont think that i would change it with 2008 for only some extra HP , think about it , if i have capacity of buying a new car i would buy some much faster , the only reason would make me buy the new accord its only if the engin will be minum 300HP with 3.5L or 3.7L . not only me , but 80% of the middle east drivers ,
in dubai , 90% of the people love the speeds and to be more clear the women and young drivers also love the speed – and honda accord its not that important car for them since there are much faster with other brands , they prefer to buy mercedse or bmw or lumbergini or or or or or may tastes and many look and the main common in between is the speed since its the most important thing for the people ,
i hope honda accord will attach the market with a huge engin , am not asking about 500CC am asking about something will satisfy the drivers , and the drivers will never be satisfied with 20HP extra , they would be more happy with MORE HP ,
ALSO i can see every one is talking about the new engin of Honda Accord and every one is making it as a big deal , the qoustion is , what is the usful of having big engin without any safty , Here’s the things which Honda Accord must give it a big attention , if they want to increase the Engin Power they must forget the whole old Honda cars and start loading something very safty since there are many people are dieing because of the japanes cars , they must make the body very strong and little more heavy and bigger engin and the suspension must be such as a racing suspension ,
there are many comment we hear it from the customers , and its all must be takin to be studied ,
First off, the Honda brand is not designed to compete with any luxury brands like BMW, Mercedes or Lamborghini…. that’s what the Acura lineup is for.
You may think that cranking up the HP to 300 HP will sell the car, but that only applies to you and a small majority of car buyers for the Accord… at least globally. How many does cars are sold in Dubai across all manufacturers? I’m guessing it is only a fraction of what is sold in the US, which is the main market for this version of the Honda Accord.
The majority of people who buy the Accord in the US are middle-aged people who have families. They want something conservatively styled, roomy and that gets good gas mileage. Performance is important as well, but not the priority. A “racing suspension” also would detract from these buyers as that would make the ride very harsh. Why do you think the Camry and Accord have sold so well in the past and present?
Curious… what is your “big experience on car sales”?
Also, why are you bringing up safety? I don’t think there was any question about the safety of the new Accord. Very few (if any) countries have more safety requirements than the US.
By the way, why are you using the “NSX-R” name? I seriously doubt that you are the same person who has posted here previously. For one thing, your English doesn’t seem to be as good. Plus, you aren’t typing everything in CAPS.
sjlee,
I edited that guy’s name to show that it’s not the same guy… no caps = no NSX-R that we all know and love
Off-topic in a big way, but when the heck. Have you ever considered blogging about cars? You seem to know your stuff and write well. Any chance you might want to blog here?
“Part 2″… heh, heh… good one.
I’m not really into blogging… I’m more of a person who participates on forums (discussions) and answers questions. My schedule varies quite a bit, so even though I seem quite active right now, I’m not always free to post up comments regularly.
Thanks for the compliment on my knowledge… I’ve always been a big car buff… subscribe to car magazines, research the web, attend car shows, visit dealerships, etc.
I appreciate you asking, but for now I’m going to pass.
Hello every one !
Reply to Sjlee ,
First of all, am an Arab guy and English is my second language that’s why am not strong enough in English, maybe you can help me with fixing my language,
second , I really like the new accord look like but its killing when you have very nice car with small engine that why I was writing just to show out how much we need the biggest engine for the NEW HONDA ACCORD ,
THIRD , about my experience in cars , I can say that I sell almost 250 up to 400 hundred cars every month , and am in touch with whole the middle east buyers ,plus you cant sell any product till you get to know the products you are selling , With One word I can say if Honda will load 3.5L or 300HP , I can sell more than 5000 Honda car’s with less than 6 months .
In regard of the Honda & Camry sales in Arab emirates ONLY , its a huge sales , and if you really want to know , I can give you the full report about the Honda sales comparing with Camry sales , I never said that Honda will not sell its new product because of the engine , am sure they will sell much better than the previous years , what I was talking about it was just comparing the Honda V6 engine with altima 3.5L and Camry 3.5L and Infinity G35 and others , what I believe its the Honda engine is TOO MUCH better than the others mentioned , and AM SURE THAT HONDA would be more stronger in the market if they load the 3.5L engine ,
Fourth, for the name which I used the other name, I was reading the people comment’s and I agree with Mr. NSX-R , and this is the first time I join this website and I had insert his name in the wrong place , so I think there’s a misunderstanding in my previous message ,
Fifth, I really thank you for reading my words , we are not fighting each other here , am so happy that I have found this website , am really glad to read your comments and write my comments , we’re just sharing our desires and it’s a nice thing to do ,
Thanks & regards
I wasn’t criticizing your English, but merely pointing out that I didn’t think you were “NSX-R” because your English wasn’t as good as his.
Also, Honda has not announced the specs for the new Accord’s engines, so I don’t see how you can call it “small”. In addition, you’re wrong about it needing the “biggest engine”. With gas prices they way they are, people want something fuel efficient. In addition, the US Accord is a family car… not a sports car.
Wow, if you sell 400 cars every month, you must be the best car salesman in the Middle East because that’s more than every car salesperson I’ve ever met… like 10 times more. Do you work with Trading Enterprises?
You also fail to realize that we’re talking about the US Accord… which is sold to US customers. It is designed and marketed for the US market, not the Middle East.
Wow, 5000 Hondas in less than 6 months? That translates into over 10,000 in a year. That would be amazing… considering Honda sold only about 80,000 cars in the Middle East and Africa in all of 2006.
As a comparison, Honda sold over 145,000 vehicles last MONTH.
A bigger engine translates into lower gas mileage and higher price… two things that’ll hurt sales.
