Is More Enough?

While the new Accord remains a fine car and a Consumer Guide Best Buy, it hasn't improved dramatically over the previous Accord--with the exception of interior space. Will that be enough to succeed in an increasingly competitive class?

Besides Camry and Altima, there are many strong and aggressively priced entries in this class including the Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, and Saturn Aura. Honda spokespeople commented that while they haven't driven the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu, it may prove to be a much more formidable competitor than past Malibus.

Prices for the 2008 Honda Accord sedan start at $20,360 for an LX with 5-speed manual transmission. An EX-L V6 sedan with Navigation is $30,260. Accord coupe prices range from $21,860 to $30,510. The 2008 Honda Accord is on sale now.
