Countdown to the 2013 Honda Accord

Less than 20 days until the release of the 2013 Honda Accord! To help us look forward, we're taking a quick look back at the first-generation model:
The Accord debuted in the U.S. market in 1976 as a front-wheel drive, 3-door hatchback. When most Japanese cars at the time were rear-drive econoboxes, the Accord offered standard air conditioning, AM/FM radio and radial tires. Honda underestimated demand and some customers waited up to 3 months to take delivery.

The 2013 Accord's release is set for Sept. 19th.
