| Striking a new Accord | |
The thing with change is that, even if it at first looks radical, the truth really is that nothing is ever quite as revolutionary as it seems, and that a certain commonality, or rather continuity, is very much part and parcel of evolution. Innovation? Of course. Reinvention? Not quite necessary if it isn’t broken.
So it is with Honda’s all new 8th generation Accord. The car looks different, is different, but underneath all that new form and flash (and does it ever have flash) is an underlying character that stays true to a stand that has been taken for a while now. If anything, the changes reflect a reinforcement of that ideal; it is tagged within the confines of the mid-priced luxury sedan segment, but continues to be effectively oriented as a sporty offering, albeit with more luxury. |
