To prove the new Accord’s luxuriously
high-performance nature, Honda Cars allows us an elevating
first-class trip
|
|
THE message couldn’t have been more crystal
clear: In staging a test-drive activity for the new
eighth-generation Accord (launched locally as a 2008 model), Honda

to altitudinal destinations. The Accord is, after all, the
carmaker’s flagship sedan, a model that bristles with style,
performance and high technology and is targeted at the affluent set.
Anything less than lofty would have been, well, a letdown.
With an event that started with a product
presentation over dinner and an overnight first-class stay at a posh
Makati Hotel, the swanky reception was tempered by the latest
Accord’s showpiece technological merit that cuts the car’s
emissions and fuel consumption.
