Honda Accord

The name Accord was chosen by Honda, which reflects Honda's desire for accord and harmony between people, society and the automobile.  The initial design was changed to a fuel efficient, low emission vehicle since it was introduced during the fuel crises of the 1970s. In the United States and Japan, Honda produced a version was using Honda's CVCC technology, to meet emission standards of the 1970s and early 1980s without a catalytic converter.

The Accord Type-R model was sold in European markets. The 2,156 cc (2.156 L) I4 H22A7 VTEC engine was rated 220 PS (160 kW; 220 hp)@7200rpm and 221 N•m @ 6700rpm. Recaro seats, LSD and stiffer suspension came standard. Other engines in this model included a 1.8L F18B VTEC engine rated at 136 hp and a 2L F20B6 VTEC.
