2012 Honda Accord Review and Pricing 2012 Honda Accord Preview
The 2012 Honda Accord is the best car for you if you want one that’s generously sized and highly capable and don’t mind that it isn’t terribly gorgeous or cutting-edge.
The 2012 Honda Accord will be virtually unchanged from the 2011 Honda Accord and likely close the door on a basic design that dates to model-year 2008. Carrying over minor model-year 2011 updates, the 2012 Accord returns as a four-door sedan and two-door coupe. Both will again offer four- and six-cylinder engines, and the sedan w
ill remain among the largest cars in the midsize class. Though newer Accord competitors furnish a wider range of features at various price points, none better balances roominess, build quality, and driving satisfaction. The best 2012 Accord value remains a four-cylinder sedan in midrange EX trim at around $25,000.

amber indicators now in a clear finish. On top grade cars the lights are now bi-xenon and feature Active Cornering Lights to improve night time visibility. The grille has been subtly remodelled with the two central spars finished in the same chrome material as the outer grille, for a sportier look. The cooling duct and fog light recesses on all models have been re-profiled with the taper of these areas given a more aggressive line, giving the car a more planted appearance.
The rear of the sedan model has been subtly enhanced with the rear lights having a light red finish for the reversing light and indicators to match that of the fog light, giving a balance to the rear styling. The exclusive styling of the sedan is rounded off with a light chrome garnish above the rear licence plate on most models and a dark chrome finish on Type S grade cars. The new exterior design cues are finished off with three new colours consisting of Alabaster Silver, Graphite Lustre and Celestial Blue Pearl added to the line up.
2013 Honda Accord
MSRP: $21,480 to $30,030
Invoice: $19,667 to $27,465
Fuel economy: 23 city/34 highway
The Honda Accord has long been one of the best selling cars in America. But Honda hit a snag recently with poorly designed vehicles and lackluster performance. Its luxury brand, Acura, remains an enigma and Honda hasn’t impressed many with its recently redesigned Civic.
The Accord is Honda’s next big shot to bring back some of the mojo its lost in the past decade. From its first showing as a concept version in January at the Detroit Auto Show, the Accord promises a much more sleek design and elegant curves. Add to that improved four- and six-cylinder engines, as well as, a hybrid version, and the Accord could mark Honda’s beginning of a comeback.
