Talk:Honda Accord

message: 69.65.224.246, twice over the last couple of days I have reverted your removal of the Japanese translation of Honda Accord in the article's lead . As was stated in the edit summary of the first removal, there is a discussion ongoing as to whether and when Japanese name translations are appropriate. Because no consensus yet exists, it'd be better and more productive to please drop by that conversation and help build consensus rather than summarily removing the translation. Thanks for editing coöperatively! —Scheinwerfermann T·C01:39, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Honda produces Spirior(Accord Euro) in Wuhan China

message: Has there been any thought about splitting the article into multiple sub-articles by generation, in the same manner as Honda Civic (and some other models)?  This article has grown in size to the point where we may want to consider such a split, if a split by Japan/Euro/NA market has been decided against. --Vossanova o< 19:25, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

replies: text:  I think this structure could use further review. It would make better sense if this arrangement could be modified to be more consistent with other WP vehicle model pages. I realize the "geographic-based disambiguation" like the Ford Focus article uses may not work for the Accord (...right?), but the disambiguation method is a better solution: less duplication of information & a far more reader-friendly page hierarchy -- I'll bet most people reading the current Accord article overlook the "main article" links at the top of the 7th & 8th gen sections. With the Focus page, there's no information duplication & no way for the public to overlook the detailed generation-specific information. I'd also like to point out the current Accord "main article" links are inconsistent in & of themselves, as separate articles are only available for two out of the eight Accord generations.

message: Although I will no longer be adding new contributions to Wikipedia, one thing I will mention about the design process for the CA Accord from 1981 to 1983, is that I am dead certain that Honda was influenced by the W201 190 by Mercedes-Benz. Compare the greenhouse of its 1981-85 predecessor and the drastic revolutionary change, that previewed the Legend luxury sedan. Awkwardly enough, there are similarities to the W124 as well and W140 S-Class in similar colours for the CA Accord sedan. Toshi Oshika's design was approved at the beginning of 1983, for the final CA 4-door exterior. All the rage at the time, was none other than the 190 Mercedes. W124 was testing in public, but really too visible to know what it looked like until mid-1983. 
A bit opinionated and probably hearsay, but just a thought.--Carmaker1 (talk) 03:11, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  CA Accord Design 

message: Please do not change the heading of the 9th gen model Accord, which should read "2013-present" and not "2013-2017". Production of the 9th gen model will continue until 2019. Keep in mind that the Accord is a global model, and the US factory is just one of many around the world that build it. As far as I'm aware, the US factory is the only one that is currently building the 10th generation model. All other factories, including Japan, Thailand, etc. are still building the old model. Most countries around the world do not import their Accords from the US factory. Japan itself still continues to sell the 9th gen hybrid Accord, as of July 2018.MisterZed (talk) 01:03, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: You make a good point, but the problem is, most countries don't use "model years" - it's largely a US invention. In Japan, for example, they don't even use VIN numbers on their cars, so in no way are they using model years over there. By putting 2013-2017, it implies that production has ended, that the car is no longer made or sold. As a compromise, maybe we could put (2013-2017, 2013-present outside of North America)?

message: Hi all,
This article seems pretty long, and only a few generations of the Accord have their own articles. I propose that the rest of them should get their own articles. What say you? Kaio mh (talk) 00:01, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Let's split all the generations of Accord (including the current model) into their own articles. 

message: "A December 1975 issue of Motor Trend Magazine had a drawing of a new Honda automobile which was similar in shape to the Volkswagen Scirocco but powered with a CVCC engine used in the Civic. In reality, the design of the Accord was finalized in the fall of 1973 weeks prior to the debut of the Scirocco, which debuted in January 1974." (excerpt from the Accord article)
"Volkswagen began work on the car during the early 1970s as the replacement for the aging Karmann Ghia coupe, and designated it the Typ 53 internally." (excerpt from the Scirocco article)
Apart from the fact that "last minute design changes" are not uncommon in the automotive industry, almost every magazine of that time featuring the Accord noted the similarities to the VW Scirocco which was for two years on the markets at the introduction of the Honda. Also, the Japanese car makers were not shy of incorporating design elements of other (foreign) models into their designs, and industrial espionage was and is still common in this field.
Since the Accord was also aimed at the US market prior to the EU markets, it's probably more likely that the Honda designers had taken a closer look at the Ford Pinto which was sold from 1971 on.

thread_title:  Accord 1st Gen vs Scirocco I 

message: Hello gentlemen, 
I do not edit other people's page but I do post on their Talk page when I see something flagrant.
In the 1993 Fifth generation section, there is a picture of a beige Accord 2 door Coupe with the caption "Coupe (facelift)".
The car's hood... bonnet... is crooked as can be. That car got it and the hood is lifted enough that the fender gap is quite open. Not a flattering picture. 
Hope someone can find a new one.
Thank you and HF. Netweezurd (talk) 22:35, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
