HONDA accord
Posted on 12:38 PM by fahad
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
