In 1990 the Accord underwent a major redesign based on a larger "CB" chassis. The more conservative Accord now bears resemblance to the first-generation Acura Legend. All Accords sold in North America now come with a 2.2 liter fuel injected engine standard. The Accord has matured into a larger car now approaching the likes of the Ford Taurus but still given "compact" status. The LX-i and SE-i trims are dropped. Available trims in the US were DX, LX, and EX. The Canadian Accord trims varied slightly from the US models with LX, EX and EX-R. (In some countries, EX stands for 'Extra') A 125 HP engine is offered with the DX and LX trims. Cruise control was dropped for the DX and air conditioning remains a dealer-installed option. The LX keeps the same features as the previous generation including air conditioning, power windows, locks, and mirrors. The EX adds 15" machined aluminum-alloy wheels, sunroof, upgraded upholstery, dual exhaust, rear stabilizer bar, and a 135 HP engine. A redesigned manual transmission with hydraulic clutch remains standard equipment while an all-new electronic controlled 4-speed automatic transmission is optional on all trims. Some new dealer-installed accessories are now offered. They include a single-disc CD player or 6-disc CD changer, fog lights, security system, trunk wing spoiler, trunk lip spoiler, luggage rack, full and half nose mask, center armrest, equalizer, window visors, sunroof visor, car cover, and cockpit cover.
* In 1991 Honda unveils the Accord Wagon to the US. The wagon includes a driver's side airbag and is available only in LX and EX trims. The SE returns and includes leather seating, a 140 HP engine, automatic transmission and Anti-Lock Brakes. The SE is only offered with an automatic and as a sedan. It is available in two colors: Solaris Silver Metallic with Graphite Black interior and Brittany Blue Metallic with Silky Ivory interior.
* In 1992 the Accord underwent a minor facelift. The SE is dropped again and the SE 140 HP engine moves down to the EX model. To the cheers of many, the Accord loses the automatic shoulder belts used in 1990-1991. All models now include a standard driver's side airbag. Anti-Lock Brakes are now standard on the EX. The front and rear facias receive a more rounded and updated look. Coupe and sedan models receive a new grille, new headlights, new taillights, slightly thinner body side moulding and updated wheel designs. The EX includes an anti-theft function to deter car stereo theft. A driver's side armrest is now standard on LX and EX models. Some dealer-installed accessories are dropped including the luggage rack, trunk-lip spoiler and cockpit cover. The gold finish kit is added.
* In 1993 Honda releases the 10th Anniversay Edition sedan marking the 10th year for the Accord's US production. It is basically an LX trim but includes ABS, 15" alloy wheels, and body colored side moldings and is available in an automatic transmission only. Only three colors are offered on the 10th Anniversary Edition: Frost White, Granada Black Pearl, and Arcadia Green Pearl. The SE returns for 1993 in both the sedan and coupe. Dual airbags are included on the sedan, but not the coupe. A Honda-Bose music system, automatic transmission, leather trim and body colored side moldings are standard. The SE coupe gets a factory wing spoiler. In Canada, the SE comes with heated front seats and heated sideview mirrors. Both the sedan and coupe receive distinctive 15" alloy wheels as well. All SE sedans are manufactured in Japan, while all SE coupes in the US. The sedan is available in two colors: Cashmere Silver Metallic and Geneva Green Pearl both with Silky Ivory interior. The coupe is offered with two colors as well: Cashmere Silver Metallic and Atlantis Blue Pearl with Silky Ivory interior. This will be the last year for the high-level SE trim package.
NOTE: now, when you buy another CB chasis vehicle...you will NOT be fooled by the year and trim make!
