Honda Accord 2010 Details - Part 2

Some of the changes are subtle, but may be very helpful to owners. For example, the climate control buttons are now of a lighter gray to help differentiate the controls in relation to nearby dark grey audio system buttons. This is a step in the right direction. The best example of this type of engineering was with a Rover 2000 TC I had a number of years ago. Each control, from the choke, to the radio, light switches etc. were all of a different shape. So unlike the new Accord where you still may make a mistake when its dark, the Rover controls could be identified with your eyes closed.

The top of the line engine is the 3.5 liter V6. It comes in at least two flavors. One is the i-VTEC, which produces 271 horsepower using a 24 valve SOHC (Single OverHead Cam) with Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) technology which allows up to half of the cylinders to be deactivated when cruising. This can result in an EPA rating of 19/29. This particular engine is available only in the Accord Sedan.
