Accord Heritage and Timeline - Breakaway Honda 

With
its smart size and excellent fuel economy, the first-generation Accord
was a hot seller in the 1970s.
The
second-generation Accord was the first Honda automobile to be assembled
in the U.S.A.
1986
marked the introduction of a notably sleeker Accord, picking up styling
cues from its sporty sibling, the Honda Prelude.
Beginning
in 1990, the Accord was classified as a mid-size sedan and featured a
more powerful 2.2-liter engine.
The
fifth-generation Accord featured a more ergonomic interior, and boasted
more standard safety features than ever, including dual front airbags.
In
1998, the sixth-generation Accord Sedan became the largest Accord ever.
For the first time, the Coupe was treated to its own sportier look,
with exclusive front fascia, wheels and lights.
In
2003, the Accord grew in size, power and refinement again. It continued
to garner spots on Car
and Driver's
10Best list. In 2005, the Accord Hybrid was
introduced.
With
its stately presence, the 2008 Accord was the first to be classified as
a full-size car—and yet this latest generation is still as nimble and
fun to drive as ever. It offers more luxury, more features and better
fuel economy. Plus, V-6 models feature new fuel-saving technologies
like Variable Cylinder Management™.
