Honda Carland had just recently completed sales training on the 2010 Honda Accord. The summer months are interesting, due to the fact the new model release for the Toyota Camry. People always ask…”Why Honda” or “Why Toyota”. This is why I prefer the 2010 Honda Accord over the 2011 Toyota Camry.The 2010 Honda Accord  is bigger, suspension is more sport-tuned, drive by wire with throttle control, and resale values according to the experts.

The 2010 Honda Accord passenger volume is 106 cubic feet, almost 5 cubic feet more than the Camry. Not to mention, the 2010 Honda Accord almost categorically is larger in every standardized measurement. Front driver headroom, passenger headroom, rear headroom, legroom, and shoulder room. When you sit in a 2010 Honda Accord, it just feels like more substance and space!

Size is not the only thing that matters… taking a deeper look at the throttle system. The 2010 Honda Accord uses a “Drive by Wire” Throttle system. Which by Honda’s definition means “ The Drive-by-Wire™ throttle system helps enhance the driving character of the Accord Sedan. With smart electronics connecting the throttle pedal to the throttle butterfly valve in the intake manifold, the engine response can be optimized to suit the driving conditions and to better match the driver’s expectations.” , which is great! Digging a bit deeper, Vehicle Stability Assist which is on all Honda Accords seems to be a major difference maker for me. Vehicle Stabilty Assist will by Honda’s definition ”

Now, if there is a minor or major frontal collision. All Honda Accords have “ACE- Advanced Compatibility Engineering- which again by Honda’s definition means- “The Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure is a Honda exclusive body design that enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions. The ACE design utilizes a network of connected structural elements to distribute crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle. This enhanced frontal crash energy management helps to reduce the forces transferred to the passenger compartment and can help to more evenly disperse the forces transferred to other vehicles in a crash.” Honda did the research to help absorb crash enegergy from a frontal collision by various sizes of vehicles. This Honda Signature Technology will keep the crash energy out of the passenger compartment!  

Suspension, what does it matter? Suspension is basically the handling characteristics of a vehicle. The 2010 Honda Accord suspension is the Independent wishbone suspension. This suspension will force the tire tread to remain perpendicular to the road, allowing a more confident handling. Honda describes the advanced double wishbone front suspension as : “  The advanced double wishbone front suspension uses both lower and upper control links. This allows Honda engineers the flexibility to tune the suspension for predictable cornering feel and emergency maneuvering, to ensure a smooth and stable ride.” The suspension innovations of racing has trickled down to the Accord, and the drive of an Accord is very confident on the road!  

It has been a tough year for most people ! 401ks, housing market, unemployment, and a 6 and 6 season for FSU. This year allowed many of us to look around, and truly be thankful to hang on to what we have. Mike Hearing started as a sales consultant at Honda Carland in Roswell about 9 years ago.  We all have meant the “Salt of the Earth” types, and Mike is one of those. Every year he would go buy bins and ask all the employees to bring in canned good items in November and toys in December. Mr Hearing would always buy at least 20 bikes and a truck load of turkeys - every year. This year we wanted to really make a difference! We all did and we all enjoyed giving. Read more…

Accord Crosstour

In ten years of sales for Honda Carland in Roswell, GA, I have been asked over 20 times… “When is Honda going to do a new wagon?”  Fact is, every time we received a 1995-1997 Accord Wagon-we sold them fast, and the customers that traded them absolutely loved them! The Accord Wagon discontinued in the mid to late 90s, and Honda went full steam ahead with the Odyssey! Today’s market is changing- the introduction of the “Crossover” vehicle combines styling and functionality. The Honda Odysseyhas set the standard for the minivan market since 1999. The Crosstour will set the stage for another specific market segment- The Suburbanite Supreme! Read more…
