IS IT MID- OCTOBER YET!?!?!?!?!




The Honda Accord has been a perpetual bestseller in the midsize sedan segment, so when the time came to design the ninth-generation model, Honda kept one thing in mind: Don't fix what isn't broken. Even with stiff competition from the recently revamped Chevrolet Malibu, Nissan Altima, and Toyota Camry, Motor Trend's 2012 Car of the Year Volkswagen Passat, and the upcoming 2013 Ford Fusion, the Japanese automaker felt it was key to retain the Accord's winning formula and took an evolutionary rather than a revolutionary approach. As result, the 2013 Accord mostly resembles the current model, albeit with a contemporary twist. From a design standpoint, the 2013 Accord doesn't stray far from its predecessor and keeps the same shape with its large greenhouse. However, the beltline has been lowered a smidge to improve overall visibility. Tweaks to the sheetmetal lend the Accord a bolder look with sharper lines. Extensive use of high-tensile steel, which makes up 55.8 percent of the unibody, reduces weight and increases structural rigidity.What's under the hood of the 2013 isn't entirely new either. The most significant change is the departure of the much-maligned five-speed gearboxes in favor of a six-speed manual or CVT for four-cylinder models and a six-speed manual or automatic for V-6 Accords, though the combination of the V-6 and a manual is offered only on the Accord Coupe.
