"Honda&amp;#039;s all-new, completely redesigned 2008 goes on sale on September 12 (sedan) and September 20 (coupe), with Manufacturer Suggested Retail Prices (MSRP excludes tax, license, registration, $635.00 destination charge and options) ranging from $20,360 for the Accord LX Sedan to $30,510 for the Accord EX-L V-6 Coupe, according to a news release by American Honda Motor Co.   Compared to the outgoing 2007 Accord, the 2008 Accord pricing reflects a sales-weighted increase of approximately $600 (2.5 percent) across the entire lineup while adding approximately $1,400 in relative value through new standard features and enhanced equipment, the company said.   All 4-cylinder models add Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), 11 horsepower (24 horsepower on Accord EX and EX-L Sedans and all Accord Coupes), rear disc brakes (LX), larger wheels and tires and audio system enhancements. The audio system enhancements include an MP3/auxiliary input jack, steering wheel audio controls (LX), MP3/Windows Media Audio (WMA) playback capability and Radio Data System (RDS).   New standard features and enhancements on V-6 models include Variable Cylinder Management on automatic transmission models, a 24-horsepower increase, audio system enhancements, fog lights and more.   The Accord is available in sedan and coupe body styles with 2.4-liter 4-cylinder and 3.5-liter V-6 engine choices. Available transmissions include a 5-speed manual (standard with all 4-cylinder engines), a 5-speed automatic (standard on V-6 sedan models, available on all 4-cylinder engines and V-6-powered Accord Coupes), and a 6-speed manual transmission (available exclusively on the Accord EX-L V-6 Coupe).   The available 3.5-liter i-VTEC V-6 engine produces 268 horsepower \u2014 the most ever for any Accord \u2014 while introducing a new generation of fuel-saving VCM technology and achieving a Partial Zero-Emissions Vehicle (PZEV) rating. The VCM system, standard on all automatic transmission-equipped V-6 models, operates in 6-cylinder mode for power and 4- and 3-cylinder modes for efficiency, resulting in an EPA city/highway fuel economy rating of 19/29 miles per gallon (Accord V-6 Sedan).   New for Accord, the Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure enhances frontal collision compatibility with vehicles of different sizes and bumper heights, the company claims.   Additional safety equipment standard to all Accord models includes VSA, also known as Electronic Stability Control; side-curtain airbags; dual-chamber front side airbags with passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS), active front seat head restraints, anti-lock brakes with electronic brake distribution, brake assist and more.   Sedan trim levels range from the Accord LX Sedan and LX-P (177-horsepower 4-cylinder engine), to the Accord EX Sedan (190-horsepower 4-cylinder engine or 268-horsepower V-6 engine), to the premium Accord EX-L Sedan (190-horsepower 4-cylinder engine or 268-horsepower V-6 engine).   Coupe trim levels range from the Accord LX-S Coupe (190 horsepower 4-cylinder engine), to the Accord EX Coupe (190-horsepower 4-cylinder engine) to the premium Accord EX-L Coupe (190-horsepower 4-cylinder engine or 268-horsepower V-6 engine).   Dimensionally, the Accord Sedan&amp;#039;s overall length of 194.1 inches (4-cylinder models, V-6 models add 0.2 inches for front spoiler lip) is 3.0 inches longer than the 2007 model. The width of 72.7 inches is 1.1 inches wider, and the height of 58.1 inches is 0.9 inches taller.   2008 Honda Accord Prices and EPA Data      Sedan 4-cylinder models       Model     Transmission     MSRP     EPA  City/Hwy.
