Specs and Review

New 2013 Honda Accord for USA: First photos.
Honda now has the first photos from the new U.S. model of the Honda Accord and Honda Accord Coupe published.


While many manufacturers offer the complete range of models as a world car, Honda has forCompose the U.S. market their own versions of the Honda Civic and Honda Accord in the offer, the Honda Civic has already appeared in 2012 in New Look, 2013 is now the turn of the Accord.

Both the sedan and the coupe coming in the 2013 model year with a new look to the market. The front is still very much reminiscent of the current model, the rear looks with both models but now even more dynamic.


Above all the coupe can convince a very elegant line and a very independent rear. Also new are LED daytime running lights.

The new Accord is also still offer more comfort and interior also has a better noise reduction feature. The ninth generation of the Honda Accord will also offer more space for passengers and also get a lot of driving assistance systems.

The exact configuration of the engines or Honda has yet revealed anything, it will be announced shortly before the start of the autumn 2012.

The Chrysler Group sold nearly 33,000 more new vehicles in August 2014 than during the same period one year earlier. 

But that massive 20% leap in sales is not expected to be in line with the overall industrys gains following an impressive jump in sales one year ago, when August volume jumped 17% compared with August 2012 results.

Jeep accounted for 35% of all FCA/Chrysler Group sales, with the Ram brand and bringing in another 36% of the manufacturers volume. Fiat sales tumbled as the 500L faced a knee airbag recall that saw sales fall from 1214 units in August 2013 to just 33 last month. Ram P/U sales jumped 33% to 43,775 units, its second month above 40,000 units this year.

‡ Automotive News estimate

Audi sold more new vehicles in August than in any month in the companys history, thanks in large part to a big month from the A3, the brands third-best-selling model, which added 2407 extra sales to the year-over-year tally. Audis Volkswagen parent brand slid 13%, a loss of 5161 units, in August 2014, as the Jetta, Beetle, Eos, Passat, CC, Tiguan, and Touaregs losses were far more severe than the Golfs 26% improvement.

Hyundai says August 2014 was their second-best month ever - only May of this year resulted in greater Hyundai USA sales volume. Big gains came from the Santa Fe, Sonata, and Tucson. Hyundais Kia partner was up 5.5% as the Soul once again provided major gains: 5052 extra units compared with August 2013. 

Subaru reported its highest-volume month in the companys history, cresting the 50K barrier for the first time thanks to a 25% increase in Forester sales and a 73% jump in XV Crosstrek volume. Mazda didnt report its best month or its best August, although it was the brands best August in 12 years. Sales of the 3 slid slightly, but the CX-5 was up 26%. The new MX-5 Miata should debut some time today. Were waiting, as of this moment. Mitsubishi, an even smaller Japanese auto brand, reported 29% August gains. Mitsubishi cant sell vehicles the way they did a decade ago, but the brand is steadily, slowly but surely, growing again.

BMWs 11% gains in August were impressive; Minis 17% loss much less so. BMW sold 1025 i3s and nine i8s. Mini attracts attention because sales of the third-gen Hardtop, the brands core model, was down 44.5%, while Countryman sales jumped 48%. Mercedes-Benz was outsold by BMW as the three-pointed stars EV, the B-Class, attracted just 51 buyers. Mercedes-did sell 2722 CLAs to make up for a 23% loss in C-Class sales. S-Class volume more than quadrupled.

Jaguar and Land Rover combined for a disappointing August, a month which ended just before Land Rover introduced its new Discovery Sport. Disappointingly, Porsche began combining sales figures for the 911 and 918 Spyder in August 2014. We hope to see a breakdown soon. Porsche sold 1485 Cayennes; 969 Macans. Yet more proof that the new Volvo XC90 needs to get here fast? Volvo sales dropped 10% in August 2014.
