Introducing the newly designed 2013 Honda Accord

Honda Motor Co. today unveiled an Accord Coupe Concept that foreshadows the styling of the production car set to arrive this year against stiffening competition.
The concept, shown at the Detroit auto show, sports a creased beltline, muscular rear fender and aggressive lower fog lights. Powertrain improvements will be a key selling point for the 2013 Accord, Honda says.
After the Accord's 17 percent drop in U.S. sales last year, Honda is counting on the next Accord to take on freshly redesigned mid-sized rivals, including the Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Hyundai Sonata, Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Malibu.
The coupe will be the same size as the current model. But the sedan will have a smaller footprint than today's version, with a shorter wheelbase and lower curb weight for better handling and enhanced fuel economy.
Interior space will stay the same, Honda pledges.
The timing of the sedan's U.S. launch hasn't been released.
The Accord's U.S. sales decline last year, to 235,625, stemmed largely from supply shortages following Japan's March 11 earthquake.
That dropped it to fourth place in the segment, behind the Camry, Fusion and Altima. The Camry held onto its No. 1 spot despite dropping 6 percent to 308,510 units, also because of supply shortages after the earthquake.
Honda needs a strong showing from the Accord after its redesigned Civic small car received a chilly reception last year for what critics said was a cheap-looking interior.
American Honda's total U.S. sales fell 7 percent in a market that increased 10 percent.
New powertrains
The Accord will feature three new drivetrains.
The first will feature the initial U.S. use of the next-generation, direct-injection engine that Honda unveiled in late November at the Tokyo Motor Show. The so-called Earth Dreams engine, a 2.4-liter, 16-valve, DOHC i-VTEC four banger, will be combined with a new continuously variable transmission.
The engine delivers 181 hp and better fuel economy than the Accord's current base powerplant, an inline four. Honda did not release fuel-economy figures but said the engine aims to achieve class-leading mileage.
The second drivetrain will consist of a re-engineered 3.5-liter, 24-valve, SOHC i-VTEC V-6 engine paired with either a new six-speed automatic transmission or an existing six-speed manual. The automatic will achieve better fuel economy and horsepower than the outgoing model, Honda says.
The final variant is the first use of Honda's two-motor, plug-in hybrid system. In all-electric mode, the system's lithium ion battery and motor can power the car for up to 15 miles of city driving at speeds as high as 62 mph. The battery can be fully recharged in four hours using a 120-volt outlet or in 90 minutes with a 240-volt charger, Honda says.
For longer drives, the hybrid operates in gasoline-electric mode, drawing from a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder, Atkinson-cycle engine combined with a CVT. For high-speed cruising, the car can run in gasoline-only mode with the engine directly powering the front wheels.
The Accord Plug-in Hybrid will go on sale in the winter of 2012, Honda says.
Honda canceled the previous Accord hybrid at the end of its 2007 model year.
Safety features
Honda says the next Accord also will sport several new safety features.
It will have Honda's first lane-departure warning system and first forward-crash warning technology. Both use cameras mounted behind the windshield to alert drivers of dangers.
It also will get Honda's first use of its LaneWatch blind spot display, which uses a camera mounted on the passenger mirror to keep tabs on that side of the car.
A multiangle rearview camera also will come standard.
Other new standard features in the next Accord:
• Bluetooth hands-free phone interface.
• Full color information display.
• An SMS texting function that reads messages aloud.

Keeler Motor Car Customer Testimonials

Hear what some of our customers have said about Keeler Motor Car recently:

"My Dealer is Keeler!"

Between my wife and I, this will be the fourth vehicle purchase from Keeler Motor Car Company (BMW and Mercedes-Benz.)  The staffs that attended to us during these purchases and services have been exceptionally professional and trained to get the job done.  We are a "Keelerian", that is, "Keeler Family Member" for over ten years now.  I hope you don't mind me coining the word!  You could bank on it that we had and will continue to spread the good news about Keeler to family and friends particularly when purchasing certified Mercedes-Benz.  You are the best in that category!!
Emmanuel

"Exceeded my experiences!"

The people in the service department at Keeler Honda are so nice!  I bought my 2010 Honda Accord last Spring (sales dept was great too!) and have been in contact with Service only twice but both times have exceeded my experiences with other service departments in the way I have been treated.  I'm bringing my car in for a software update this week and can only assume we'll keep this 100% customer satisfaction streak going!

"Why go anywhere else but Keeler Motor Car"

It is always a pleasure to deal with the people at Keeler Motor Car.  you know they will always be helpful no matter what!  We often think of buying another type of car but Keeler makes us so happy so why go anywhere else?

"I LOVE Reggae music!"

Dear Andrea,
Quite a few years ago I went to a Jimmy Cliff concert at Middlebury College, and after an opening act, he came on stage to a crowd of 10,000 screaming, adoring fans.  When he finally got people somewhat quiet, he said:  "I don't like reggae music..."

You've never heard a crowd of 10,000 go silent faster.  Long pause...then he said, "I LOVE Reggae music."
The place exploded!

That's how I feel about my new MINI Cooper - i don't just like it.  It's the best handling car I've ever owned, and over the years I've had two MG's , a 1967 Morgan Plus 4, A Range Rover, and an early Miata that was a knock off of the Lotus Elan.  (The Morgan could take sharp curves at high speeds with out flinching, although the creature comforts were rather minimal.)
In any case, I am very impressed with everything about the MINI.  The fit and finish seems perfect, and, as everyone says, it is just pure fun to drive!  (It wanted to zip up the 85 on the Northway, and I am going to have to watch the speedometer as it just seems to want to go faster.)
Please accept my thanks for all your help in making this happen.  From order to delivery, it was incredibly quick and the whole experience of picking it up at Keeler MINI was a pleasure!  Kevin made the paperwork painless and your introduction to all the dashboard intricacies was brilliant!  Cheers!

I want to thank all the associates at Keeler Mercedes-Benz for their diligent efforts in restoring my 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL back to health.  It is now operating safely, comfortably and reliably.  They all went the extra mile to service my classic automobile and looked after items I did know about.  Thank you!!

"Thank you all so much"

Dear Bill, Andrea and Raffe,

I love doing business with friends and hopefully I don't drive a hard bargain? just a great little black cooper that I LOVE!!! You guys were and are great and will always receive a 10 out of 10 recommendation for professional service and attention to detail. You made the past 8 years easy, the purchase simple, the new guy I met in finance was great also and I long to look after you guys in Placid with beers and accommodation as availability allows.

"Keeler BMW's wonderful service"

I would just like to comment on the wonderful Service Dept. at Keeler BMW and mainly your employee Raffe. He was more than helpful at the last visit and really listened to my car's issues and they were corrected in the best and most friendly manner than any of the other Service Reps I have dealt with this year. My hat is off to Raffe and Mini Service Department.
