Ever Since Honda launched the Accord in India back in 2011, barring the first the first model, the car has done well to keep the premium tab going for the Japanese marquee. The seventh generation that came a couple of years later and then the next one that came in 2008, have made it a segment leader. But no, its position is under threat with the advent of more competition and a certain new Skoda superb ruining its party.
The car is still doing well for its stiff price tag( it's brought in as a CBU from Thailand, and averages around 2,500 units sold in India every year) but in a bid to keep interest going, Hond ahas launched an updated version. It would like to call it new.
Which this Accord isn't. What it is, ias a car packed with many more features. So all of us who complained that the 2.4-litre wasn't speckled well for a car costing in excess of Rs20 lakh now have fewer things to grumble about.It might be tough to immediately point out what's new in the acr, but here's what you can look out for. The front Chrome grill now has a thivhker upper lip and two horizontal chrome slats to give it more prominence. It aslo extends all the way to the bumpers below. The front bumper aslo hs a more in-your-face look.
On the inside , the Accord remains elegant and spacious. to make it more upmarket, a sunroof is now standard accords the range. there's a wood insert on the front dash and doors. Thankfully, it looks real. Cruise control is also standard on the car now, but strangely they have left out stereo controls on the steering wheel.
On the road, the 2.4 Accord now has more teeth. Not in terms of power but in terms of technology bits like Vehicle Stability Assist, which includes Anti Lock braking systems, Electronic Brake Force Distribution and brake assist-all now standard on the car.
New Honda Accord starts at Rs.26 lakh ( ex-showroom price Mumbai)

Don't you just love capitalism and democracy? 80% of the money generated in the U.S went to the 1% population. Is it even still possible for immigrants to reinvent themselves socially and economically? Those early 20th century days of immigrant prosperity are gone. God Bless America right?

Apparently automotive enthusiast are only mourning the lost of a race track in Japan. Great job in showing compassion. I think they have bigger shit to worry about assholes. How can you like some shit like this on facebook?? If your a Japan lover nows the time to put your money where your mouth is and help with the clean up.
I'm at complete loss of words. First the engulfing flood Australia encountered now this. Possible tsunami now predicted in the Pacific.

It's rather odd for the US to support rebels. Are we going to see ethnic groups selling out to Western nations again?

This year promises to be Audi's best in India. The company notched up record sales in Jnauary and Audi's flagship, the all new A8, has been well received. However, its the all new A6 that Audi is banking on to take it within spitting distacnce of its German rivals on the Sales chanrts.
The midsize luxury saloon sits in the core of the luxury category, where fresher fresher opposition from BMW and Mercedes has stolen the march.The imminent launch of new A6 couldn't be timelier. The previous Audi A6 dates back to 2004 and has fallen far behind the E-class and 5-series.With the new car's technology-packed design and brilliant detailing, its now ready to compete on equal, if not better , terms.
The A6's design may be all new but, predictably, it bears more than a passing resemblance to the outgoing model. There is lot more of A8 in it as well, like the wide grille and very distinctive LED headlights which makes the A6 look like a scaled doen version of its bigger brother.
The A6 is slightly shorter than the outgoing model and the roof-line is lower too.Audi Believes as the customer spends most of the time inside the car, that's where attention needs to be lavished. Interiors are simply superb and is an appealing mix of curves and lines with a high level of detailing.
The new A6 comes packed with the tech too, a lot of which has ticked down from A8. The A6's chassis is more than up to the tasks of handling its class- best performance. Body control is brilliant over undulating and winning Sicilian roads at high speeds it has a poise and precision that is very reassuring.
Audi A6 starting range is from Rs.38 lakh.
