Clas­sic Mo­tors cre­at­ed his­to­ry at the Trade and In­vest­ment Con­ven­tion (TIC) yes­ter­day when it un­veiled the 2013 Hon­da Ac­c­cord on the con­ven­tion floor at the Hy­att Re­gency in Port-of-Spain.

Com­ment­ing on the au­toma­tive firm's im­pres­sive dis­play yes­ter­day, sales ex­ec­u­tive Denyl Kow­lessar de­scribed the event as an "Ac­cord-win­ning ex­pe­ri­ence."

"We cre­at­ed his­to­ry in terms of get­ting a ve­hi­cle in­to the Port-of-Spain ball­room at the Hy­att," he said.

Two mod­els of the new Hon­da Ac­cord were launched at TIC yes­ter­day–the 2-litre vti and the Srv6 or 3.5v6.

Kow­lessar said with safe­ty and re­li­a­bil­i­ty on the na­tion's roads a ma­jor con­cern, the seat belts in the 3.5v6 have a three-point po­si­tion­ing sys­tem, a Y-shaped arrange­ment us­ing lap and sash belts. The car has a vari­able cylin­der man­age­ment sys­tem to pro­vide more pow­er when need­ed.

Kow­lessar said the ve­hi­cle is man­u­fac­tured with a lot of lighter ma­te­r­i­al and plas­tics "with­out com­pro­mis­ing per­for­mance or en­gi­neer­ing" as Hon­da is be­com­ing more en­vi­ron­men­tal­ly friend­ly with the ma­te­r­i­al used in its cars.
