Looks like no information on the new Accord?

There was an informative post "called cars for 2012 and beyond" early this year. It predicted 2013 for the new Accord, see

MRO provided a lot of very informative information on this and many other posts. There is a reference to some problems resulting in him being banned so unless he can return we need another contributor with car marketing contacts for an update.

The 2013 Honda accord which will be probably be introduced here in Thailand at the december motor show will much likely carry over from the same current platform expect some changes here and there but thats pretty much it, the interior will look identical to the current model but will look much sharper like how the they have updated the new civic's interior.

The 2013 honda accord will arrive with a revised Engine but practically speaking same engine with minor improvements such as direct injection to its 2.4 engine which should help increase fuel economy by a small margin and output would increase to 181 hp from the previous 180 hp.

A new hybrid variant will be introduced which will also feature plug in variety, the hybrid motor will be mated with accord's previous 2.0 four cylinder engine returning a 161 hp combined. The plug in system in the new hybrid will allow you to drive in city for about 10-15 miles completely on electric mode depending on your driving habits. the hybrid will feature 3 modes: fully electric,hybrid and benzine only.

A little sad news for all of you who hate CVT gearbox the new accord will feature a cvt gearbox for both of its variant 2.0 and 2.4 but the six cylinder engine will feature a new 6 speed manual gearbox which practically speaking we wouldn't be able to afford at least here in Thailand.

A little off topic: i just bought a new toyota camry 2012 i previously had the last model which was ok but new model is nothing like the old at least in terms of driving and the interior still not a sports car but in my opinion the best in its class.
