HONDA accord




























Introduction

The Honda Accord is the series of mid-size automobiles manufactured by

Honda since 1976, and sold in most automotive

markets throughout the world. The Accord became the first Japanese car to

be produced in the U.S. in 1982, when production

commenced in Marysvil , Ohio at Honda's Marysville Auto Plant. It is also

produced in Guangzhou, China since the 1999

inception of the Guangzhou Honda Joint Venture. The Accord has achieved

considerable success, especially in the United

States, where it was the best-selling Japanese car for fifteen years (1982-97),

topping its class in sales in 1991 and 2001, with

around ten million vehicles sold.Numerous tests, past and present count the

Accord as one of the world's most reliable vehicles.


Since initiation, Honda has offered several different body styles and versions

of the Accord, and often vehicles marketed under

the Accord nameplate concurrently in different regions differ quite substantially.

It debuted in 1976 as a compact hatchback,

though this style only lasted through the 1980s, as the lineup was expanded to

include a sedan, coupe, and wagon. By the

Accord's sixth generation in the 1990s, it evolved into an intermediate vehicle,

with one basic platform but with different

bodies and proportions to increase its competitiveness against its rivals in

different international markets. For the current

generation of the Accord released for the North American market in 2008,

Honda again has chosen to move the model further

upscale and increase its size. This pushed the Accord sedan from the upper \

limit of what the u.s Environmental Protection

Agency(EPA) defines as a mid-size car to just above the lower limit of a full

-size car with the coupe still rated as a mid-size car

HONDA civic

















Introduction



It was introduced in July 1972 as a two-door coupe, followed by a three-door

hatchback that September. With the transverse engine mounting

of its 1169 cc engine and front-wheel drive like the British Mini, the car provided

good interior space despite overall small dimensions. Early

models of the Civic were typically outfitted with a basic AM radio, heater, foam
-
cushioned plastic trim, two-speed wipers and painted steel

rims with a chromed wheel nut cap. The current Civic has become much

more upscale with options such as air conditioning, power locks,

and power windows, leather upholstery, satellite-linked navigation, and a

six-speed manual transmission. Initially gaining a reputation for

being fuel-efficient, reliable and environmentally friendly, later iterations

have become well-known for performance and sportiness,

especially the Civic Type-R and Civic Si


The Civic has been rebadged for international markets with such models as

the Hond Balladeand Honda Domani/Acura EL. The Civic

platform also served as the basis for the CR-X sport compact, the CR-X del

Sol targa convertible, and the CR-V compact SUV.

As of 2008, the Civic has been the top-selling car in Canada for eleven

straight years. With high gas prices and a weak economy in June

2008, the Civic supplanted the Ford F-Series to become the top-selling

vehicle in the United States for that month.
