The completely redesigned 2013 Honda Accord Coupe has earned the highest available safety rating – a 5-Star1 Overall Vehicle Score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The 2013 Accord Coupe is the only vehicle in its class to earn a NHTSA 5-star Overall Vehicle Score and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating with GOOD ratings in all test modes. For model year 2013, all tested Honda models have earned a TOP SAFETY PICK or TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating from the IIHS (only the Civic Coupe, FCX Clarity and Fit EV have not been tested).

"The Honda comprehensive approach to vehicle safety is validated by these top-level safety ratings," said Art St. Cyr, vice president of product planning and logistics at American Honda. "The 2013 Honda Accord truly excels in all areas, delivering the best overall safety ratings, while also providing exhilarating performance, outstanding comfort and top-class fuel economy."
The Accord Coupe earned the 5-star Overall Vehicle Score by garnering a 5-star rating in each seating position in the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) frontal, side-barrier, and side-pole crash test categories, as well as a 5-star rollover rating. The 2013 Coupe joins the Honda Accord Sedan in earning an Overall 5-Star Safety Rating under NHTSA's testing.

In addition to its NCAP 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score designation, the 2013 Honda Accord Sedan is the only car in its class to earn a GOOD rating in all IIHS test modes, including the Institute's aggressive, new small overlap frontal crash test. Under the IIHS' testing program, the new small overlap frontal crash test—sometimes called a "narrow offset" test—is designed to replicate what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with another vehicle or an object such as a tree or utility pole at high speed.

Beginning with the 2013 Honda Accord, Honda is applying the second generation of the Honda Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™ II) body structure to its models. This reinforced frontal structure further enhances frontal crash energy management through a wider range of offset and oblique collision modes.

The Mercedes-Benz 2013 Super Bowl Commercial

The Mercedes-Benz CLA 250, a seductive and dynamic new coupe design, will create a new
entry point for the Mercedes-Benz brand. It is the centerpiece of a new 60-second ad that will
debut in the fourth quarter of the year’s biggest night in television advertising: Super Bowl
XLVII.
The company expects the CLA 250 to bring in new buyers with an unexpected price point for the
brand and a highly stylized, sporty design. Among its notable features is a dynamic on-board
connectivity package allowing access to popular social media sites.
The site of this year’s Super Bowl XLVII is being played at the “Mercedes-Benz Superdome,”
Mercedes-Benz USA and its dealers have been a supporter of the local community since October
2010 and as part of their $1.3 million national-commitment to Laureus USA, MBUSA joined
with Laureus and Coaches Across America in New Orleans to train and place 26 coaches in 11
local after-school sports programs with a goal of providing safe afterschool activities for area
youth. which will be
The Super Bowl ad is a tongue-in-cheek depiction of how far a person might go to get their
heart’s desire and what shape the “good life” might take. Filmed in part on location in New
Orleans, MBUSA went full throttle with star power including Kate Upton and Usher playing
themselves. But the commercial is more than just glitz, glamour and the unveiling of the CLA.
It’s another example of the company’s ties to the city.
