There’s a little bit of American pride an survival instinct mixed into the latest commercial for the all-new 2013 Honda Accord sedan. They’re trying to say that they thought about the customer first and foremost. And you know what? It works, and the ads are very relaxing, which is perfect for midsize sedan buyers.
The Japanese automaker has focused on fuel economy and safety, while also adding new features. They called it the “the most sculpted and the most dynamic Accord yet," but it’s not that. It’s more of an evolution to make it modern.
Through aerodynamic enhancements and a brand new engine family, the Accord gets up to 36 mpg with the base 2.4-liter four-cylinder producing 185 hp and 177 pound-feet of torque, but only in combination with the optional Nissan CVT gearbox.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
