Honda Accord
The large Honda Accord, still available in sedan and coupe versions, have been completely redesigned for 2008. That year was also the automaker's 30th anniversary of doing business in Canada. The Accord has increased considerably in size, without increasing their fuel intake, the object being to offer a classier product. Its 177 and 190 horsepower four-cylinder engines remain great choices, while the 271 horsepower V6 constitutes a more refined engine responding to more specific needs.
