1976 was huge. For one, we celebrated America's 200th birthday. And at Honda, ‘76 also marked the introduction of the Accord. Even back then, we knew we had something special on our hands. And over the past 35 years, the Accord has proven again and again just how special it really is. It's no mistake that Accord has made Car and Driver's 10Best list a record 24 times out of the past 28 years.
With its smart size and excellent fuel economy, the first-generation Accord was a hot seller in the 1970s.
The second-generation Accord was the first Honda vehicle to be assembled in the U.S.A.
1986 marked the introduction of a notably sleeker Accord, picking up styling cues from its sporty sibling, the Honda Prelude.
Beginning in 1990, the Accord was classified as a mid-size sedan and featured a more powerful 2.2-liter engine.
The fifth-generation Accord featured a more ergonomic interior, and boasted more standard safety features than ever, including dual front airbags.
In 1998, the sixth-generation Accord Sedan became the largest Accord ever. For the first time, the Coupe was treated to its own sportier look, with exclusive front fascia, wheels and lights.
In 2003, the Accord grew in size, power and refinement again. It continued to garner spots in Car and Driver's 10Best. In 2005, the Accord Hybrid was introduced.
With its stately presence, the 2008 Accord was the first to be classified as a full-size car–and yet this latest generation is still as nimble and fun to drive as ever. It offers more luxury, more features and better fuel economy. Plus, V-6 models feature new fuel-saving technologies like Variable Cylinder Management.™
Now the 2011 Honda Accord has arrived. The 2011 Honda Accord is a mid model refresh, so there are not a ton of changes...but they are noticeable.
The first noticeable changes are the front grill and bumper. Changed to add more sleekness as well as more aerodynamics in order to improve MPG.
Environmentally Conscious
The 2011 Accord Sedan is a fuel-efficient automotive wonder. 4-cylinder models with automatic transmission get an estimated 34 highway mpg. V-6 models get an estimated 30 highway mpg - all of which means the new Accord is even more fuel efficient than last year. And as an added bonus, all Accord models run on regular unleaded gasoline.

ULEV and PZEV-Rated
Honda was the first manufacturer to offer Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle (ULEV)-rated emission technology on a production vehicle. Today, the 2011 Accord offers the even stricter Partial-Zero-Emission Vehicle (PZEV) technology.
Interior Upgrades include:
Comfortable
In the Accord's case, bigger is better. It means more comfort and more room for those Honda details, like available leather-trimmed seats. The driver's seat has 10-way power adjustment including power lumbar support (SE and above) to fine-tune a perfect fit. Rear passengers enjoy ample conveniences like a fold-down center armrest And EX models and above feature a rear HVAC vent to keep rear passengers cool.
