2008 Honda Accord Review
Overview
An automotive experience unlike any other. Built not just for how you drive but for how you live. Because we consider the road and everything beyond it for the all-new 2008 Honda Accord sedan and coupe. The all-new Accord is not only one of the most powerful vehicles in its class but also meets the highest emissions rating achieved by any V-6 available. Imagine an engine that not only exhilarates but can also minimize fuel use and emissions. Accord offers three: a 2.4-liter i-VTEC 4- cylinder with 177 hp a 190-hp version and a new 268-hp 3.5-liter V-6. Can An icon of simplicity also be an icon of style? The new Accord has more interior room than ever. You can get it with voice-activated navigation. And a premium 7-speaker 270-watt audio system. The Accord has always been a showcase of practicality. So why can’t luxury be practical? This is about safety. Not safety for people who can afford it. Safety for everyone. An Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure disperses frontal crash energy over a wide area helping keep it away from passengers. Accord even has energy-absorbing structures in the hood and front fenders to help minimize injuries to pedestrians. The All-New 2008 Honda Accord. Beyond the Road!
