They proceeded in making the first HR21 Lawn Mower, which many households relied on to keep their yards in top shape, in 1978. In 1980, Honda created the F200 "Komame" Mini-Tiller as well as introducing the first VTEC engine in 1989.

    Both the Coupe and Sedan will show off a host of new technologies along with an entirely new design. And while both will retain their current spacious cabin size, the Sedan's exterior will be more compact, creating a more aggressive appearance.
    The 2013 Accord will introduce features that are new for any Honda. Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and the Honda-exclusive LaneWatch? blind spot display.
     The Accord has been one of the best-selling cars in America since its introduction 36 years ago. And it's poised to continue this tradition when it hits the streets next fall.
