Honda Accord 2008

Old Accord is plain Jane compared to this new model and from all the shots I have seen of the new Honda Accord, the side rear profile left me mesmerized. Powerful and dominated by mature lines, this will be the third generation Honda in India since the manufacturer’s introduction here in 2001 and oh-its-so-welcome!

Accord is being offered in a 2.4L 180 bhp 4-cylinder version and a more powerful 3.5L 270 bhp V6 engine. The new version of this already-top-notch-of-its-class car’s length is translating to E-class proportions. This means a longer car, which is also supposed to be wider and taller and hence, more space and luxury for all.

The sharply fashioned headlights, the newly done grille, the re-fashioned rear where rectangular tail-lights have been replaced by wrap-like, stretched out lamps – the way the car has been revamped justify the Rs. 2-lakh added to the already loaded price tag.

Its supposed to come to life to Indians around the middle of this year and once that’s done, we have to see who rules the roost in this premium car segment – Toyota Camry, Skoda Superb or the new Honda Accord.
