We are talking about the new 2008 Honda Accord that was launched recently in India. Honda has gone a step further this time with the eighth generation Accord by making it roomier, more powerful and pricing it extremely competitively as compared to its predecessor.The new car gets a complete makeover and manages to strike the perfect balance between being sporty and elite.
The new car has bold lines and an aggressive stance, which gives the car a much younger appeal. Although there is nothing overtly unconventional about its design, the car still manages to leave a lasting impression on the passersby.Honda Siel India has brought in the 2.4 litre variant to the country with both automatic and manual transmission options. There are other variants including a 3.5 litre V6 available in the international range of Honda, but as of now only the 2.4 litre model will be sold here in India.
The in-line four cylinders displace 2354cc and the 16-valve DOHC motor equipped with Honda patented iVTEC technology, pumps out 180 horses at 6500rpm and 222Nm of torque again at 6500rpm. The Accord always had good driveability as its strong selling point, and this remains unchanged even in the 2008 Accord. While the power on the automatic Accord feels a little sluggish initially, driving into the Sport mode, the response from the car is spot on.
The engine gives out a throaty note as you floor the gas, thanks to the intake which is a little louder than before. The car is strongly built, well-engineered and exhibits very high levels of refinement.
The gearbox is slick and gears slot-in with precision, keeping the entire gear-shift experience hassle-free and allowing the driver to enjoy every moment spent behind the wheel of this luxury sedan.
This luxury car has a 3000cc petrol engine, with dimensions of 4830(L) X 1820(W) X 1465(H) mm and weights 1530kg. It has a ground clearance and a wheelbase of 155mm and 2740mm respectively, a turning radius of 5.5 meters. It also comes with a factory fitted air conditioner, heater, music system (6 CD changer with 6 speakers and AM/FM stereo) and has additional features like automatic gear transmission, power steering & windows (front and rear), central door locking system, ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System), fog lamps, adjustable steering wheel & driver seat, leather plus woody steering wheel and gear knob cover, leather seat upholstery, light-on reminder, digital clock, keyless entry, aluminum wheels, dual exhaust and front console panel.

In terms of styling, the car is at par with any other car in the same catagoty, proving more or less the same feaatures available in any other car. But, the fact remains that the car is still lagging behind its other variants like Honda city , Honda Civic & Honda Jazz. At the same time, it cannot be said as to when there will be a change in the trend at Accord will take over others in the family.
