Independence Day may still be a few days away, but here at Norris Honda we're breaking out the sparklers and ticker-tape early, but not for the reason you'd think. Today, we're celebrating the incomparable Honda Accord's automotive birthday.
That's right folks, this June marks the Accord's 40th year on the market. Just think about that, this car has been around in some form or another since disco music was popular, and will still be around when it comes back into style next year (we hope)! Honda is celebrating four decades of the Accord with a trip down memory lane through its social media channels, looking back on how the Accord got its start and rose to prominence in the competitive sedan market.
Surprisingly, the Honda Accord didn’t start out as a sedan, but rather a subcompact hatchback. Still at the time, it made a splash in the market, as Honda was primarily known for the Civic, as well as its extensive lineup of motorcycles. In fact, the Accord was largely credited as the pivotal point at which Honda started on the path to being a full-line automaker.
Since its inception, the Honda Accord has consistently lead the industry as a feature-forward vehicle that provides great value, tasteful style, and of course, fun driving dynamics. So, if you'd like to join us in celebrating the legacy of the Accord, the best way to do so is to stop in to Norris Honda in Baltimore for a test drive today!
