    Re: 2008 Honda Accord review

    This car is now officially out of my price range!

    Seriously, though, it looks way too much like the also ugly Toyota Camry. I am holding out for either phenomenal gas mileage or alternative power source. So, I want my 3g to last for at least another ten years.

    China plans to hit the US car market next year sometime. Kia, Hyundai, and Daewoo are Korean, Daewoo is a subsidiary of GM, and currently produces the Chevy Aveo.

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    I ment a full electric car that normal people can afford. I've known about the telsa for a long time but it's still not feasible for us normal folks.

    That is a concept pic.

    (paste this from the link)

    A Notable Feature of the 2008 Honda Accord

    The 2008 Honda Accord V-6 engine will gain power, but shouldn't use more gas. That's because Honda will give it a cylinder-deactivation system that automatically shuts down three of the cylinders when they're not needed, in highway cruising or at stoplights, for example.

    Buying Advice for the 2008 Honda Accord

    If you want a new midsize Honda sedan with a gas-electric hybrid powertrain, look to the 2007 Honda Accord Hybrid. The 2008 Honda Accord won't offer a hybrid version, and we don't expect one until the 2009 model year. The 2009 Honda Accord Hybrid will probably aim for maximum fuel economy by teaming a four-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor. The 2007 Honda Accord Hybrid favors performance by blending a V-6 engine with the electric motor.

    2008 Honda Accord Prices: Honda hasn't yet talked about 2008 Accord prices, but they won't stray much from Accord's current range. The lineup will again span basic four-cylinder models starting around $19,000 and topping out at around $27,500 for loaded versions with leather upholstery, sunroof, and navigation system. V-6 models should range from about $26,000 to $31,000.

    2008 Honda Accord Release Date: The 2008 Honda Accord should be in showrooms by late October, 2007.

    2008 Honda Accord First Test Drive: Expect a full Consumer Guide drive report by the end of summer.

    Re: 2008 Honda Accord review

    nice idea but 120 miles is not far enough for a real roadtrip. on tpo of that 30,000 is'nt really afforable lol it's leaseable. shit i know people who complain about the fit's price now lol imagaine 30,000 when that vehicle actually makes a debut, and it's produced in china (at least in part) that scares me considering the fact of the video with the air bag doing nil for the dummy's head.

    Ths Smart is a really cool car. There are a couple of those here an I really would like to buy one. This is a really safe car honestly. It's probably safer to drive a Smart than a 3G.

    In that crash scene, notice how the car "cell" remains intact. The energy is absorbed by the little part in front and the airbags. In the 3g you got no airbags and I'm sure you would get your legs crushed to dust in a front impact at 60mph
