Honda, is a Japanese
engine manufacturer and engineering corporation. The company is perhaps
most notable for its automobiles and motorcycles, but it also produces a
long list of other products: trucks, scooters, robots, jets and jet
engines, ATV, water craft, electrical generators, marine engines, lawn
and garden equipment, and aeronautical and other mobile technologies.
Honda's high-end line of
cars are branded Acura in North America and
China. More recently they have ventured into the world of mountain
bikes, producing the very first bike to use an internal gear changing
system in the Honda RN-01 G-cross.
In May 2006, renderings of the 2008 Accord in Japanese car
magazines suggested the sedan would take many styling cues from the new
Honda Civic. In December 2006, Honda showed a sketch of a
soon-to-be-released Accord coupe concept. On 8 January, 2007, Honda
debuted the 2007 Accord Coupe Concept at the 2007 North American
International Auto Show. The car displayed styling to be used in the
eighth-generation Honda Accord which will be sold as a 2008 model.
It is likely that the same model of Accord will be sold in both
North America and the Pacific, as Honda is bringing the Acura brand into
the Pacific, which has traditionally sourced their cars from Japanese
models not sold in the US. The Acura TSX and TL will most likely be
developed using the Accord JDM as a basis, while the 2008 Honda Accord
will be based on the USDM model.
