It’s hard to find anything bad to say about the Accord, be it a coupe or a sedan. The current-generation model has been Honda’s biggest seller, with a roomy interior, excellent seats, and driving dynamics to keep enthusiasts satisfied, if not thrilled. The fact that the current car is still widely regarded as at or near the top of its class a full five years after its introduction speaks volumes for the fundamental goodness of the vehicle. It also means that the new car has some big shoes to fill. It’s not a slam-dunk, either. Remember that Honda miscalculated dramatically with the 1994-1997 Accord, going smaller and sticking with four-cylinder engines when the rest of the competition went larger and adopted powerful V6s. The company is unlikely to make the same mistake twice, though.
