A new Honda Accord is due here in a few weeks – the second longest running automotive nameplate in Honda history first arrived here in 1977 however in recent years sales of the longstanding run-out model have dropped to a trickle. The all-new 11th generation model will feature a more advanced hybrid powertrain to the outgoing petrol/electric drivetrain. Longer, sleeker and with a wider footprint the new Accord will feature Honda’s first integration of Google services and is expected to be more expensive to the current model which is priced at $61,900 drive away. Honda this week cut prices on its three top-selling SUVs – the HR-V down $1800, the eHEV L Hybrid down $3100 while the relatively new CR-V, the company’s best seller, was reduced by $600. It’s Civic Type R hatch has also risen by $1,000.
