2008 Honda Accord Ex-l V6 4-door / One Owner / 23k Miles On Complete New Engine on 2040-cars
Frisco, Texas, United States
Honda's Accord gets a
completely new, more sophisticated and detail-oriented look for 2008, along
with a complete mechanical redesign. It's slightly larger overall, including
almost three inches more length than the 2007 model, but more notably it's slightly
wider, making the interior 1.5 inches wider as well. This wider stance allows
the front seats to be set farther apart with a more expansive center console. Seats
and seating are a particular area of change for the new Accord. In front, they
are more generously apportioned, and Honda boasts that the front and rear seats
now bring equal comfort to front and rear passengers. Overall, interior volume
is up to 120 cubic feet, which officially classifies the Accord as a large
sedan rather than a midsize one. Despite being larger, the Accord has improved
torsional rigidity, which allowed Honda engineers to tune the suspension for
optimal ride and handling--there are double wishbones in front and a multi-link
setup in back, along with wide tires across the model line. Wheels range from
16-inch steel wheels on base models up to 17-inch alloys on up-level coupes and
sedans; and on the coupe, 18-inch alloys are now available. The new Accord is
offered with either a 2.4L four-cylinder engine, making either 177 horsepower
or 190 horsepower, depending on the model, or a 3.5L V6 making 268 horsepower.
The V6 comes with the newest version of Honda's variable cylinder management
(VCM) system, which can shut down two or three cylinders when possible to
increase fuel efficiency. This helps the V6 achieve 19-mpg city and 29-mpg
highway. The four-cylinder Accords are rated at 22-mpg city and 31-mpg highway
when equipped with a manual transmission. *The more powerful, 190-horsepower
version of the four-cylinder engine uses a variable-valve silencer and
high-flow exhaust system to bring improved performance with no penalty in fuel
efficiency. This version is standard on base LX and upscale EX coupes, and also
on mid-level EX sedans. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on all
four-cylinder engines, while a five-speed automatic is optional with the four
and standard with the V6. A six-speed manual transmission is exclusively
offered on the EX-L coupe. The list of standard safety equipment now includes
vehicle stability assist and active front head restraints, along with front
side air bags, full-length side curtain air bags, and four-wheel anti-lock disc
brakes with brake assist. Sound systems have been revamped. All of them now
have MP3 and WMA compatibility and an auxiliary input jack. The base system has
160 watts, a CD player, and six speakers; all now have RDS program information.
Middle-trim models add a six-disc CD changer, while top models bring the
premium audio system, with 270 watts, seven speakers, an eight-inch subwoofer,
and available XM satellite radio. There's also a navigation system that
includes a Bluetooth hands-free phone link, voice activation, and an integrated
Zagat guide. The Accord is now offered in two primary trims, the economical LX
or more luxurious EX. EX models are dressed up with alloy wheels, a chrome
exhaust tip, and blue ambient interior lighting, and include more luxury items
such as heated mirrors, a moon roof, and a security system. At the top of the
range is the EX-L, which adds leather seating and trim, upgraded
instrumentation, dual-zone climate control, and the premium audio system with
active noise cancellation. * Based on 2008/2009 EPA mileage estimates,
reflecting new EPA fuel economy methods beginning with 2008/2009 models. Use
for comparison purposes only. Do not compare to models before 2008/2009. Your
actual mileage will vary depending on how you drive and maintain your vehicle. Want a car to make heads turn and take notice, as you drive by in the lap of luxury? Well, look no further than this outstanding 2008 Honda Accord. J.D. Power and Associates gave the 2008 Accord 4 out of 5 Power Circles for Overall Initial Quality Design. Edmunds.com said, "...The Honda Accord offers an appealing combination of spaciousness, a relatively upscale feel and a reputation for reliability..." This Accord will allow you to dominate the road with style, and get wonderful gas mileage while you're at it. It is nicely equipped with features such as 3.5L V6 SOHC i-VTEC 24V.

Honda CR-Z will run Pikes Peak with full-EV power
Wed, Jun 24 2015Honda is running a CR-Z at Pikes Peak this year. But as you might have guessed, this is no ordinary CR-Z. This particular racing prototype packs an experimental powertrain. Though precise technical specifications remain a closely guarded secret at this point, our source at Honda has confirmed a few key details. For starters, the CR-Z racer packs a fully electric powertrain, ditching the 1.5-liter inline-four that forms the internal-combustion component of the street-legal model's hybrid propulsion system. This contrary to circulating rumors that it could be packing the hybrid powertrain from the new NSX. Whatever the details of the electric motor (or motors) on board, they'll be driving and steering all four wheels through Honda's proprietary Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) and Precision All-Wheel Steer (P-AWS) systems. The technologies ought to make the CR-Z racer pretty adept at tackling the 156 twists and turns of the world-famous Race to the Clouds. The aero package is obviously pretty aggressive as well, and the bodywork appears to have been modified to an even greater extent than the carbon-fiber prototype we drove in Japan. Driving duties will be handled by Tetsuya Yamano, a Japanese driver known in the Super GT series (where he won the GT300 title in 2004 in an NSX) and for running Civics in Gymkhana events back in the 90s. It'll be competing in the Pikes Peak Challenge Exhibition class, but the idea behind the CR-Z prototype is as much about experimentation as it is about results. The project will serve to train some of Honda's younger engineers. They won't be alone on the mountain, though, as Honda also recently announced that it would be fielding its new ARX-04b Le Mans prototype at Pikes Peak this year as well.

Japan considering offering free hydrogen cars because $30k incentives apparently not enough
Wed, Aug 6 2014There's no such thing as a free lunch. A free hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle, though? It may become a possibility in Japan, says Automotive News. We know the Japanese government is being plenty supportive of hydrogen vehicles since it will provide about $20,000 worth of incentives to prospective customers of the $69,000 vehicle. And with local governments like Toyota City's Aichi prefecture supplying another $10,000, out of pocket costs could reach less than $40,000 for the Toyota hydrogen car. We don't know for sure that the 'free' H2 car will happen, but with Toyota starting sales of its first production FCV next spring (potentially named Mirai), it could happen. That would also spell good news for Honda, which will follow up Toyota's effort for its own hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle. The case for the free car is still pretty tenuous. Automotive News, citing the Nihon Keizai business publication, reports that the Japanese government has thrown around the idea of subsidizing the vehicles outright to early adopters just to gain some momentum for this kind of zero-emissions vehicles. Heck, the government would even throw in free fuel for good measure. We'll see about that. To see some of the official hydrogen excitement, click here for a video of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe taking a Toyota fuel cell vehicle for a brisk test drive.

2015 Australian Grand Prix all about grooves and trenches [spoilers]
Sun, Mar 15 2015We can't remember the last time 90 percent of the action in Formula One had nothing to do with cars setting timed laps. Yet that's was the situation at the Australian Grand Prix, continuing the antics from a scarcely believable off-season with blow-ups, driver and team absences, a lawsuit, and a clear need for some teams to get down and give us 50 pit stops. Nothing much has changed from a regulation standpoint, and at the front of the field nothing has changed at all. Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas claimed the first position on the grid like someone put a sign on it that read, "Reserved for Mr. Hamilton;" teammate Nico Rosberg was 0.6 behind in second, Felipe Massa in the Williams was 1.4 seconds back in third. Sebastian Vettel proved that Ferrari didn't do another Groundhog Day routine this off-season, slotting into fourth. His teammate Kimi Raikkonen was not even four-hundredths of a second behind, ahead of Valtteri Bottas in the second Williams, Daniel Ricciardo in the first Infiniti Red Bull Racing, and rookie Carlos Sainz, Jr. in the first Toro Rosso. Lotus, now powered by Mercedes, got both cars into the top ten with Romain Grosjean in ninth, Pastor Maldonado in the final spot. However, even though the regulations are almost all carryover, in actual fact, everything has changed this year. Mercedes is even faster. Renault is even worse. Ferrari and Lotus are a lot better. Toro Rosso is looking like anything but a junior team. And McLaren is – well, let's not even get into that yet. Furthermore, this weekend was shambles: 15 cars started the race, the smallest naturally-occurring grid since 1963. Manor couldn't get its cars ready before qualifying. Bottas had to pull out after qualifying when he tore a disc in his back and couldn't pass the medical clearance tests. The gearbox in Daniil Kvyat's Red Bull gave out on the lap from the pit to the grid, and to give misery some company, the Honda in Kevin Magnussen's McLaren blew up on the same lap. When the lights went out, Hamilton ran away and was more than a second ahead of his teammate at the end of Lap 1. The advantage disappeared, though, because behind him, at the first corner, we got our first pile-up. As Raikkonen drove around the outside of Vettel at the right-hand Turn 1 it looked like Vettel, going over the kerbing, hopped to his left and bounced into Raikkonen.
