AccordTHE ALL-NEW 2008 ACCORD SEDAN


2/15

Introducing a newlevel of Accord.


3/15

A new level of sophistication.The all-new Accord Sedan. Its lower, wider and larger. And with its aggressive stance and flawless a erodynamics, its a shining

example of everything a concept car wants to be real.


4/15

A new level of exhilaration.Its quicker, sharper and more fuel-efficient.And with one of the most powerful engines youll find in a Honda and a surplus of

innovative standard safety features, its everything a next-generation sedan should be.


5/15


6/15

Did you know Accord V-6 models

feature a next-generation Advanced

Variable Cylinder Management (Advanced

VCM) system? Depending on whether

youre accelerating, cruising or idling, this

innovative system activates, or deactivates,

the engines operating cylinders from 6- to

4- to 3-cylinder mode to deliver maximum

fuel efficiency.

?

Under the hood of the Accord, horsepower

and fuel efficiency come to life in the shape

of a performance-inspired, exceptionally

low-emission i-VTEC engine.

ENGINE PERFORMANCE

It comes in quick,quicker and ultra-quick.

Quick? You bet its quick. But how quick is up to you. You see, theres the exciting177-horsepower, 161 lb.-ft. of torque quick or the

190-horsepower, 162 lb.-ft of torque quicker, produced by the 2.4-litre, 16-valve, DOHC, i-VTEC4-cylinder engine. And theres the

ultimate in ultra-quick excitement in the 268-horsepower, 248 lb.-ft. of torque, 3.5 litre, 24-valve, SOHC, i-VTEC V-6engine, which is

pretty much the most powerful engine youll find under the hood of a Honda right now. Plus, by adding a few little F1-inspired

innovations, such as Multi-Point Programmed Fuel Injection and a Drive-By-Wire Throttle System, you get the kind of engine

response and acceleration that was born out of competitive racing.


7/15

When it came to improving the

Accords handling and control,

no bend, twist, curve, turn or fork

in the road was overlooked.

PERFORMANCE HANDLING

It takes corners very seriously.Is there a secret to the Accords amazing handling and agility? Actually, theres more than one. Yes, it has a wider stance and a balanced

power-to-weight ratio. But the real secret is the Variable Gear Ratio (VGR) steering system. This new system provides you with a

precise on-centre feel at high speed and greater vehicle agility and increased low-speed manoeuvrability. And with Vehicle Stability

Assist (VSA) automatically correcting any over- or understeering scenarios, every turn, curve or corner you take will be a confident one.

Features:

Available 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels / Front-wh

drive / Variable Gear Ratio (VGR) rack-and-pinion ste

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with Traction Control / T

telescoping steering column


8/15

Did you know the available Active

Control Engine Mount (ACM) system

was designed to keep engine vibration

noise from reaching the cabin? The system

automatically adjusts the firmness of two

active engine mounts to help absorb

vibration energy.

?

Its more than just a pretty face.Why does driving an Accord feel so right? Its probably because the Accords legendary smooth signature ride has been enhanced

by a sport-tuned, high-mount double-wishbone suspension, making it more stable and responsive. And finally, youll experience an

overwhelming feeling of oneness with the road and all of its imperfections, but dont worry, this is normal.

The independent double-wishbone

front suspension delivers added control

and flat, stable cornering.

The multi-link double-wishbone rear

suspensions compact, in-wheel design

helps improve your overall handling and

reduces vehicle roll when cornering.

Both the front and rear suspension

systems are attached to the Accords

subframe and unit body to help isolate

road noise and absorb any vibration.

The Accords power-assisted, ventilated front dis

and solid rear disc brakes provide you with smoo

fade-resistant stopping power when you need it.


9/15

It likes to entertain.How many fun features can you expect in an Accord? How about all of them? The Accord Sedan plays host to a wide variety of

available fun features and new must-have amenities. For example, how does an available 7-speaker, 270-watt, AM/FM/CD Premium

audio system with 6-disc in-dash CD changer and MP3/Windows Media audio playback capability, or an available Honda Satellite-

Linked Navigation System with bilingual Voice Recognition, or an available HandsFreeLink-bilingual Bluetooth wireless mobile

phone interface sound?

Available ambient console lighting / Available XM Satellite Radio* /

MP3/auxiliary input jack / Available HomeLink remote system /

Remote entry system with electronic trunk release and power window

control / Illuminated steering wheel-mounted audio controls /

Available leather-wrapped steering wheel

Did you know the Accord features

an available Active Noise Cancellation

(ANC) system? The ANC system literally

cancels certain low-frequency sounds in

the interior by countering it with opposing

frequencies through the sound system.

The result? A nice, quiet ride.

?

* Includes a no-charge trial of3 months, beyond which service fees apply. Available in 10 Canadianprovinces and 48 contiguous U.S. states. See terms and conditions at www.xmradio.ca.


10/15

And it likes to spoil.Did it just get bigger in here, or what? It did, and in a bigger, largest-interior-in-its-class sort of way. From the available leather-

trimmed seats to the available heated front seats to the available dual-zone automatic climate control with air-filtration system,

its a level of modern sophistication and luxury unlike any Accord youve ever had the pleasure of experiencing.

Did you know the Accord features

a Maintenance Minder system that

monitors your driving to automatically

determine when service is required?

The system also anticipates maintenance

schedules, such as oil and filter changes and

tire rotation, based on your driving habits.

?

Head Restraints. Active front seat

head restraints provide the driver

and passenger with excellent

neck protection in the event of

a rear collision.

Safety Research.Advanced safety

research and development is

conducted at Hondas crash-testing

facility in Tochigi, Japan, one of the

largest of its kind in the world.

The Accord. Its solid on safety.

Pedestrian Safety. Innovative

pedestrian safety features include

energy-absorbing hood and front

fenders and breakaway wiper pivot

Six Standard Airbags.Six airbags line the Accords interior, including the revolutionary

passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) airbag that will not deploy if the

system detects a smaller sized or out-of-position occupant. Plus, rear seat Lower Anchors

and Tethers for Children (LATCH) offer secure child-seat restraint.

with vsa:control maintai

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA). Vehicle Stability Assist with

Traction Control senses and corrects oversteer and understeer

situations to enhance handling and cornering stability, while

Traction Control ensures grip during acceleration on loose or

slippery surfaces. >

ACE Body Structure.The highly innovative

Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body

structure disperses frontal impact en ergy, increasing

occupant protection. Additionally, the ACE frame

design allows for collision compatibility between

vehicles of different weights and sizes.

Anti-lock Brakes.For safe stopping, the 4-wheel

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps you maintain

control under hard braking conditions, while Electronic

Brake Distribution (EBD) optimizes braking power

based on weight distribution inside the vehicle.>

>

Tire Pressure Monitoring System.

For added safety and enhanced fue

efficiency, a Tire Pressure Monitorin

System (TPMS) continually monitor

the air pressure in each tire. If press

drops in any tire, an alert appears o

the drivers instrument panel.

Honda remindsyou and your passengerstoalways buckle up. Children12 and underare safestwhenproperly secured inthe rear seat.

Safety for Everyone is a commitment to providing one of the highest levels of standard safety features to help ensure occupant safety

and protection. In fact, recent crash tests conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ranked Honda as a leader

for models with5-star crash safety ratings for front and side impact.* And through real-world research, Honda is focused on developing

unequalled measures of protection to enhance the safety of occupants in other vehicles and even pedestrians an innovative idea

that is quickly becoming a reality.

*Government star ratings are part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations (NHTSAs) New Car Assessment Program(www.safercar.gov). Model tested with standard side-impact airbags (SABs).
