Ford F-Series top-selling vehicle of 2013 in US

Honda slashes Civic, Accord and Pilot prices in UAE
The 2013 editions of the venerable Honda Civic and Honda Accord are pretty darn good cars in their segments, and used to be big sellers in the UAE. But more recently, Honda’s sales plummeted in this country thanks to dealer pricing that kept pitching them against Volkswagens rather than Toyotas, while the Koreans were all too happy to take away their customers as well. It seems Honda Middle East has managed to twist enough arms on the ground, as we’ve just received word that prices of several models have been revised, most of them downwards by a large margin.
Honda Crosstour 2013 facelift drops Accord name
The 2013 Honda Crosstour has just been launched in the UAE as well as the GCC. Aside from the obvious frontal facelift, the “Accord” name has been dropped from its badge.
So we got a 2013 Honda Accord 2.4 EX
We drove several variations of the 2013 Honda Accord at an event last month, but we wanted more personal time with the car that accounts for 70% of all Honda sales in the GCC. We asked for the 2.4-litre version, especially since it will the model that most buyers will go for.
First drive: 2013 Honda Accord in the UAE
A new Honda model release is always a cause for anticipation. The brand may have fallen from its peak in terms of regional market-share for a while now, but it is one of the few carmakers that has genuine respect from family men and brand fanboys alike. And with the previous-generation Honda Accord being among the best offerings in its segment, we were keen on trying out the new 2013 model, which builds on the outgoing version rather than completely redoing it.
First drive: 2012 Honda Accord in Saudi Arabia
My father owned Japanese cars ever since he moved to Saudi Arabia during the 70s-80s gold rush. An ’82 Mazda 929, an ’86 Corona, a ’90 Laurel (yes, the grey & black ones) & then a ’94 Corolla. My first car was bought in 2009, a 2001 Caprice LS & at the first opportunity in 2010 I replaced it with a 2004 Lumina LS which has been serving me effortlessly. Father vs. Son, Asian cars vs. American cars. I hardly ever choose to drive a Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai et al when I have other options available. So when the chance came in a somewhat different manner,
Honda Accord 2013 launched in UAE & GCC
The 2013 Honda Accord just had its GCC launch at an event in Dubai. The UAE played host to the debut of both the sedan and coupe models, and it was interesting to see that the Middle East version actually got its own unique mechanical specifications, based on consumer sensibilities here.
Honda Accord 2013 in sedan, coupe and hybrid trims
As one of the most successful cars of all time, Honda’s designers surely have gone through a dangerous phase designing the new Accord, not only because there is pressure from past and current owners who expect to be impressed, but because there are a whole slew of new buyers the automaker is looking to impress. But, with that in mind, the newly-designed Honda Accord is no disappointment.
2013 Honda Accord sedan and coupe revealed
The latest version of the Honda Accord has been revealed, if only in a few pictures. The 2013 Accord is generally a heavily-facelifted version of the old one, both in sedan and coupe forms.
