The 30-year history of the Accord, fuel-efficiency over the decades

The Honda Accord is thirty years old this year. If this is the kind of anniversary that tingles your lobes, then Honda has got a promotional history website for you. The Accord history page tells the history of the model from idea (“a compact car that is easy to use and has a stylish, sporty look”) to modern vehicle (“it is a car that inspires a state of harmony between the driver and the surrounding world”). Note how the Accord’s (and Civic’s) low fuel use history is certainly emphasized in the corporate write-up. If only all automakers were so proud of their efficient history.
