New 2009 Honda Accord

After coming off of a major redesign in 2008, options, options and more options headline the dependable and affordable 2009 Honda Accord.

Available in either coupe or sedan forms the Accord is distinct as ever. Not only can you choose between the coupe and sedan, but between four trim levels for the sedan: LX, LX Premium, EX, EX-L, and three trims for the coupe: LX-S, EX and EX-L. And if that wasn’t enough to choose from, pick between three engines: a 2.4-liter, 177-horsepower I-4, 2.4-liter, 190-horsepower I-4 and a 3.5-liter, 271-horsepower V-6. Both automatic and manual transmissions are available on the four-cylinder engine, while the V-6 features Honda’s Variable Cylinder Management system, a fuel-saving cylinder-deactivation technology when mated to an automatic transmission.
