The Honda Accord looks similar to its award-winning predecessor from the front but has been heavily reworked particularly at the rear. The front features a new chrome wing-type front grille, and smoked-type headlamps. The sedan’s ground clearance has been lowered by 15 mm to give a sportier stance. New-design 16-inch alloys adorn both the 2.4 VTi-L and 3.0 V6 variants. The rear is a new design that includes shortened taillamps, new bumper, and dual exhaust pipes. The taillamps and 3rd brake light are the LED type. Inside, the 2.4 VTi-L features black leather and metallic accents, while the 3.0 has ivory leather seats and trim, and woodgrain panel accents. The 2.4 inline-4 engine’s output has been bumped up to 170 ps, while the brawny 3.0 liter V6 retains its 240 ps output. Each engine is mated to a 5-speed automatic gearbox, controlled by a new “cobra-type” shift lever. The 2.4 i-VTEC goes for P1,470,000 and the 3.0 VTEC V6 retails for P1,690,000. Also at Honda World are the WOW, a dog-friendly concept car and the Honda Racing Formula One car. Taking center stage during shows will be ASIMO, Honda’s remarkable walking, dancing, climbing humanoid robot. Honda World will run at Glorietta Activity Center until 6 August 2006. |
