It’s not just A cAr, It’s A mIssIon stAtement. More than just steel, aluminum, rubber and glass, the Honda Accord is a collection of ideas. Like the belief that being responsible and having fun are not mutually exclusive. Or that the proper hierarchy in automotive design is man first, machine second. Or that innovative engine technology can result in both power and efficiency. These are among the principles you’ll find at work in every Honda. Culminating in the 2009 Accord. Accord EX-L V-6 Sedan shown in Alabaster Silver Metallic. tHIs Is About lInes And curves And sHApes.In otHer words, It’s About desIre. How you feel about your car has a lot to do with how it looks. Accord has been styled to attract a glance. To invite a stare. With its clearly defined edges and powerful stance, it has the ability to stir passion from any angle.

It’s a way of thinking about cars and the people who drive them. Take Accord. From the placement of the fuel tank to the design of the spark plugs, every decision is examined. Then re-examined. All for one purpose: to make your driving experience the best it can be. Both the front and rear suspension components attach to subframes, which are then fixed to the unit body. The bushings at all rigid mounting points have been meticulously engineered to help isolate road noise and vibration while also assuring Accord-quality handling. The rear suspension is an especially clever construction. Its multi-link design delivers terrific handling while its compact, optimized suspension positioning has enhanced lateral rigidity for greater stability in corners. For an extra helping of athletic ability, try the Accord EX-L V-6 6-speed Coupe. Its short-throw shifter gives you pinpoint control over the vehicle’s well-chosen gear ratios. Eighteen-inch alloy wheels also complement its sporting potential. Every 2009 Accord comes with disc brakes on all four wheels, for smooth, powerful and fade-resistant stopping capability. Electronic Brake Distribution apportions braking force according to dynamic loading. Nothing characterizes an Accord more than its distinctive feel. Much of this springs from the vehicle’s front double wishbone and rear multi-link suspension. Engineered for instant response, it is the perfect embodiment of our core philosophy of continual improvement, even in those areas where we re already a leader. Additional features include variable gear ratio power steering for excellent high-speed stability and enhanced low-speed maneuverability. These are just a couple of the things that make the Honda Accord such a uniquely enjoyable car to drive. It stArts wItH A promIse. It stArts wItH An engIne. It stArts wItH A commItment. Turn the key and you continue a dialogue that began over 50 years ago. One in which the needs of our customers, as well as the environment, are heard and acted upon. The 2009 Accord responds with not only one of the most powerful vehicles in its class, but also with the lowest emissions achieved by any V-6 available. 1 Accord engInes HAve long mAde HeArts beAt FAster. now tHey mAke your mInd rAce, too. Imagine an engine that not only exhilarates, but can also minimize fuel use and emissions. 2 Accord offers three: a 177-hp, 2.4-liter i-VTEC  4-cylinder (sedan only), a 190-hp version, and a 271-hp, 3.5-liter V-6. It’s the only lineup that offers both 4-cylinder and V-6 Partial Zero- Emission Vehicles (PZEV). 1 The Accord’s V-6 features the latest genera- tion of Variable Cylinder Management  (VCM  ) technology. This system can activate and deactivate the engine’s cylinders as needed to meet the demands of acceleration and maximize fuel efficiency. 2 During steady cruising, the Accord’s V-6 shuts down the entire rear bank of cylinders. So the vehicle is essentially running on half an engine  resulting in greater fuel efficiency. 2 In this mode, the audio system’s Active Noise Cancellation  (ANC) function generates out-of-phase sound waves to cancel out any undesirable noise that may be due to the harmonics of 3-cylinder operation. When cruising speeds climb, the engine will move from 3-cylinder operation to a 4-cylinder mode. The first, second, fifth and sixth cylinders  two cylinders in each bank  will be engaged for balanced running. To help keep engine vibration from reaching the cabin in every mode, a pair of active engine mounts automatically adjust their firmness to help absorb energy. When maximum torque is required  such as when you re merging onto the freeway or climbing a steep hill  all six cylinders are firing to deliver the engine’s full power. The transition between the three operating modes is nearly seamless to the driver and passengers.

From the way the driver’s seat holds your body to the way the audio buttons feel to your touch, there’s a reason for everything. Nothing is superfluous. Nothing seems like an afterthought. Man and machine have never been more in tune. The Accord is designed to be an extremely engaging experience. Equip your EX-L with the available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System, 3 and you’ll command a vast knowledge of the U.S., except Alaska. It has a huge point-of-interest database, * including restaurant ratings and reviews from Zagat Survey.  4 The system can be operated by voice commands or with the central interface dial, which also lets you work the audio system and climate control. There’s even Bluetooth  5 HandsFreeLink,  which easily connects with your Bluetooth-compatible phone. The Accord’s one-touch power moonroof on EX models features a tilt function as well as an air diffuser that allows air to circulate inside the cabin. Drive responsibly.
