Local Honda Dealer Loves Accord as much as Automobile Magazines

ERIE, Pa. - May 30, 2013 - PRLog -- At Bianchi Honda, the sales staff is head-over-heels in love with the new design and features of the all-new Honda Accord.  The numbers speak for themselves.  The sedan rolled in 33,538 units in April and brought the year to-date total to 121,965 units.  

"Honda really stepped up their game",  said Zak Stahlsmith, eCommerce Director of Bianchi Honda. "Honda thought of everything - and this Accord has something for everyone!"

Honda Accord (http://automobiles.honda.com/accord-sedan/) was the only midsize sedan named to the prestigious 2013 Automobile Magazine All-Star's list. Automobile Magazine editors used a combination of factors to determine the list of ten All-Stars including results from performance testing, feature evaluation and overall value analysis.

"The Accord continues to demonstrate it's the one to beat in the hyper competitive mid-size sedan segment," said Mike Accavitti, senior vice president of auto operations at American Honda. "And to be recognized by a top automotive publication like Automobile Magazine as one of the most significant models of the year further validates our effort to deliver a best-in-class vehicle experience for our customers."

Since its introduction last fall as an all new model, the Accord has captured numerous industry accolades including being named a Car and Driver Magazine's 10Best, Ward's 10 Best Engines and a North American Car of the Year Finalist.  Prior to being named an All-Star, the Accord won Automobile Magazine's highly competitive eight sedan comparison test where editors applauded the model's ability to 'aspire to standard's that should apply to more expensive machinery.'

This is the 18th time a Honda vehicle has been named an Automobile Magazine All-Star since the awards inception in 1986, and this is the first time the Accord has been awarded an All-Star designation. Past Honda All-Stars include the Civic, Element, Prelude, Odyssey, Fit and Ridgeline.
