automobile manufactured by Honda since 1976, debuting as a compact hatchback and evolving into a intermediate vehicle. The Honda Accord has been sold in most automotive markets throughout the world. It has achieved considerable success, especially in the USA, where it was the best-selling Japanese car for 15 years (1982-97), and became the first Japanese-branded vehicle to be manufactured the U.S. in 1982. Over the years, Honda has offered many different body styles and versions of the Accord, and often vehicles marketed under the Accord nameplate concurrently in different markets differ quite substantially.
With the advent of the most recent Accord for 2008, Honda again has chosen to move its premier model further upscale and with the sedan, a further increase in its size. This increase in size pushed Accord from upper limit of a mid-size car by EPA standard for a 2007 model to just above the lower limit of a full-size car[1], with the coupe still rated as a compact car.
