Following on from the V6 Accord's 2008 Drive Car of the Year win, Accord Euro has just been crowned 2008 Wheels Magazine Car of the Year. Two fantastic awards - two equally amazing cars. 

Outclassing a field of 35 other vehicles launched in 2008, the Accord Euro won the prize, recognised as one of motoring’s most prestigious awards globally. The criteria covered 5 key areas; function, technology, environmental efficiency, safety and value.

Honda Australia Managing Director and CEO, Mr Yasuhide Mizuno said, "This is fantastic result for a fantastic car that epitomises every element of Honda’s DNA. It’s fun to drive nature combined with quality, safety, value and sporty styling is what the second-generation Accord Euro is about."
