From the February 1990 issue of Car and Driver.Uh-oh. Red alert in Detroit. While the industry's sentries were sleeping, Honda snuck up into the heart of the market. The new Accord sure looks like a mid-size contender to us.This is more than merely serious. This could be the last act of a debacle. Detroit has long viewed low-priced cars as unprofitable and high-priced cars as too limited in volume to be worth the trouble.
The Accord still has drum brakes in back. Honda says discs add too much weight and that they wouldn't be helpful anyway, because a front-drive car does most of its braking in front. Honda didn't always have the right answer. For years we've complained of limp shocks and grossly inadequate suspension travel. The new shocks eliminate all the usual Honda floatiness without killing the ride. And the suspension never bottomed during our driving.
