2013 Accord

[mda]

Released already in Thailand. Updated na website nila.

English brochure sa Thai webpage:

Any idea when we'll get this sa PH?

Mukhang wala tayong 2.0L here though.

[Retz]

parang mukhang old gen na accord ah.

Yung 2013 US model is smaller in overall size compared sa 8th gen but similar (big) in interior space. It was just voted best in class by Car and Driver for midsize/family sedan. A 2.0L engine with 150-155hp will be too underpowered for such a big car (almost 1600kg). The US model 2.4L (185hp, 6-spd AT or MT) will be a better model to bring over here.

Di ba US spec yung Accord na ibinebenta sa pinas? The review for 6sd MT is so good that i am contemplating trading in my Si. Either 4 or 6 cylinders, it is more economical for me MPG wise.

So far based on the pictures of the Accord circulating on the web, the Russian, USDM, and Thai Accords are all similar.

Looks like this is the same car we will be getting here in the PH.

Kung ano engine sa Thailand, malaki ang chance na magiging engine din natin PERO, let's keep in mind na 2.5L ang Camry, Teana at Mazda 6, 2.4L ang Sonata, Optima, Galant. So pwede din naman 2.4L Earth Dreams engine makuha natin.

On a side note, kaka-launch lang ng Mazda6 sa Malaysia. 2.0L and 2.5L engines ang available. So baka pwede din, sumasabay sila sa global engine downsizing ng ibang makers.

Anyone have info when the new Accord will be launched here?

They'll be bringing in the Earthdreams J35Y1 with 278hp/252lbft. Still with VCM.

Still dreaming of Honda going bonkers and dropping in the 310hp J35Y4 from the RLX.
