Just a heads up folks, if you stop by Piedmont Honda Apex today, don't be alarmed if you find we've broken out the sparklers a little early. No, we're not jumping the gun on celebrating Independence Day, we're celebrating the big 40 for the Honda Accord. So, in honor of this incomparable sedan, here are some fun historical Honda facts about the Accord through the years.
- When it first debuted in 1976, the Honda Accord didn't look anything like the sedan we all know and love today! Its humble beginnings were as a two-door subcompact hatchback, with a wheelbase even smaller than a modern Honda Fit!
- Since its inception, Honda has sold over 12.7 million Accords in America. Talk about popular appeal!
- The name "Accord" actually sprang from Honda's commitment to an accord between society and vehicles through advancing technology. And with generations of innovation behind it, the Honda Accord now boasts three separate configurations, Coupe, Sedan, and Sedan Hybrid, alongside a suite of innovative technologies and engine choices, further strengthening Honda's accord with people across America!
So, if you'd like to join in the celebrations, Honda will be chronicling its 40 years of Accord on its social media channels. However, if you'd like to get your hands on one of these venerable vehicles, stop in to Piedmont Honda to test drive the Honda Accord today!
