Toyota and Honda want to Win Back Sales Share from Hyundai Sonata with New Models

Not too long ago, if someone told you that a South Korean model would challenge America’s best selling sedan, the Toyota Camry, you would have probably laughed in his or her face.
Needless to say, a lot has changed over the past few years with Hyundai and in particular its latest Sonata sedan, not only challenging, but this past May even surpassing the Camry in U.S. sales for the first time in history.
Of course, the fact that Toyota’s production capabilities were seriously affected by the aftermath of the March 11 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan, played a significant role in Hyundai’s accomplishment.

Craigslist Gem: Honda Accord with a Touch of BMW and Mercedes-Benz

Some say that in a perfect world, the ultimate car would be designed by Italians, engineered by Germans, built by Japanese and marketed by Americans. Others believe that a Japanese car with a bit of Teutonic styling flair and good old American marketing is all it takes to create a desirable vehicle or, in the case of this BMW-faced and Mercedes-Benz-arsed Honda Accord, a much desirable laugh or two... Could be yours if you live in Massachusetts for $2,250. More photos and the seller's friend (...) 'informative' description after the jump.

Recall: Honda Calling in 3,940 Accords and Civics

A defective driver's airbag inflator is the reason behind a recall of 3,940 MY2001 Honda Accords and Civics in the States. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stated that in these particular models the driver's air bag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure. In the case that an affected air bag deploys, the increased internal pressure could rupture the inflator allowing metal fragments to pass through the air bag cushion material possibly causing injury to vehicle occupants. Honda said that the recall is expected to begin on or before December 22, 2008, with dealers replacing the air bag inflator free of charge.

Honda's SEMA Show Galpin Accord Coupe

It's actually quite ironic that automakers and tuners alike go into all that trouble preparing vehicles for the SEMA Show but somehow forget to release any details on their project cars. One such example is Honda's Galpin Accord Coupe. Due to the lack of any official information whatsoever, we can only tell you about what we see in the pictures and that is that the Accord Coupe has been accessorized with a full aerokit, a carbon fiber hood and trunk lid, large alloy wheels with ultra-low profile tires, a rear wing and massive exhaust pipes.

The racing-theme is continued in the interior which sports a set of sparco bucket seats, a rear-end roll-cage as well as a high-end stereo system. Unfortunately, we have yet to discover a digital way to peek under the hood, so our guess of what's hidden underneath is as good as yours.

2009 Honda Accord Sportspack

For those who’d find the 2009 Euro Accord’s looks a tad uninspiring, Honda is offering a sport package for both Sedan and Tourer variants. The baodykit includes front and rear sport bumpers with matching side skirts along with a front sports grille and an aerodynamic boot spoiler (only for saloon), all available in the car's bodywork colour. In addition to the body accessories, Honda has developed a new range of alloy wheels including sporty 18" designs and titanium trim décor for the interior. -Pics after the jump

2009 Honda Accord Tourer: Image Galore

The reason we’re updating our story on the 2009 Accord (Acura TSX in the States), is that Honda has released a new image gallery of its Tourer model that, like its sedan sibling, will go on sale in Europe this summer. The station-wagon version of the euro-market Accord will be offered a 150Hp 2.2-liter i-CTDi diesel unit and two petrol engines, a 156Hp 2.0-liter and a 201Hp 2.4-liter unit. All three engines are matched to a 6-speed manual transmission, while both petrol engines have the option of a 5-speed automatic. –Image gallery after the jump
