We're still tripping over pre-production Accords! But it seems that each day we find something a little different, and today was no exception. The model we shot is distict by it sunroof, digital satellite radio antenna and wheels.
With similar - but not identical shapes, and different textures (no honeycomb grille on this sedan) - it was easy to tell the difference between sedans and coupes in our rear-view mirror.
This sedan most probably has a a 180-horsepower 2.4-liter 4-cylinder powerplant, but Honda has publicly talked about more horsepower, better fuel economy, cylinder deactivation and lower emissions for a V6-powered Accord - and although there is no word from Honda, we're anticipating a 3.5-liter V6 with about 270-horsepower.
The new Accords will reach the production line this coming September or October, with the first shipments to dealers shortly afterwards.
