2008 Honda Accord Sedan

OVERVIEW: 2008 Honda Accord Sedan

The all-new eighth generation Accord Sedan is here. With more style, more luxury and more sophistication than ever. Americans have bought nearly 10 million Accords since 1976.
Honda Accord Sedan Release(launch) date: 12 September 2008
Like most Accords sold in the United States, the new sedan will be built primarily (80 percent) in Marysville, Ohio, with the remainder being imported from Japan.




The newest version comes with several "firsts", including four-wheel disc brakes, electronic stability control and steering wheel-mounted stereo controls included on all models, a 70-litre fuel tank that's the largest ever, the most powerful engines with the best fuel economy, and the largest cabin, which the EPA in the U.S. classifies as a large sedan due to its volume.
