The 2006 Honda Accord
2006 brought in the 7th-generation Honda Accord. This model had revamped front and rear designs and extras added to its standard equipment package. With these introductions and modifications, Honda hopes to continue to make the Honda Accord a best seller. It seems likely that the 2006 Accord Coupe and Accord Sedan, with all these notable additions, will not disappoint; leaving the 2005 as a guaranteed seller in the pre-owned/used Honda Accord market.
