The Honda Accord came to America in spring 1976. It was Honda's largest, most ambitious car to date, yet embodied the weight-conscious engineering principles born of Honda's motorcycle experience.

A front-wheel-drive layout and hatchback configuration expanded on Civic concepts. As a result, the Accord offered both good acceleration and above-average fuel economy in a trim yet surprisingly roomy compact package. It also showed uncommon attention to detail, something Americans were coming to expect of all Japanese cars. Just as important, it reaffirmed Honda's commitment to cleaner air with a new CVCC engine.

In March 1954, Soichiro Honda announced his plans to enter the company in the legendary Isle of Man Tourist Trophy (TT) motorcycle race. He boldly said, "I announce my determination, and pledge with you that I will put my entire heart and soul, and turn all my creativity and skills to the task of entering the TT races and winning them."

He said this despite having no experience in international motorsports competition and having only produced his first real motorcycle only five years earlier. In 1959, he entered the race and, only two years later, Honda motorcycles dominated the event, sweeping the top five spots in both the 125cc and 250cc categories.

This challenging spirit and an absolute confidence in the power of dreams drive the company to this day. The challenging spirit is one of the fundamental pillars of the company; pushing it to succeed and improve where others might settle for "good enough." No car in Honda's lineup embodies a more complete picture of that spirit than the Accord. From its humble roots as a hatchback with a smaller wheelbase than today's subcompact Honda Fit, to today's full lineup of engines and body styles, Accord has a legacy of leadership unique in the industry.

Kazutoshi Mizuno, Nissan’s project leader and self proclaimed ‘Mr. GTR’ wanted to ensure that every GTR be capable of the performance claims they’ve made and to keep themselves honest, each car goes out for nine laps on a test loop on the proving ground at the Tochigi plant facility. The loop itself isn’t a picturesque road course or even a high speed wailing on the banking, but instead looks like a multi-lane drag strip with different lanes with different road qualities. The goal is to properly and uniformly break in the various systems on the car. The procedure is well orchestrated, with the first four laps consisting of a set number of progressively harder stops and a little brake and throttle at the same time to properly break in the massive rotors and bed the pads. Laps five to seven focus on checking turbo boost and loosening up the transmission, and the final laps take the GTR on a bumpier section of pavement to reduce the friction in the suspension bushings. After the drive, each car is measured at several key points, and the alignment specs are re-checked and adjusted if needed. Nissan doesn’t want any funny vibrations at 300kph!

The AZ600 was introduced in 1971 and was sold side by side with Honda motorcycles before Honda had stand alone automobile dealerships. The engine is a 598cc overhead cam, air cooled 2 cylinder that develops around 36 hp. 60 MPH came in a leisurely 26 seconds and its top speed was a claimed 75MPH. Gas mileage was around 40MPG. With a short wheelbase (78.7") and rack and pinion steering, it is said to handle very well.

Hummers were traditionally built by AM General Corporation, formerly the heavy industries division of American Motors, in its Mishawaka, Indiana assembly plant. AM General had planned to sell a civilian version of the Hummer as far back as the late 1980s. In 1990, two matching white Hummers were driven from London, UK to Beijing, People's Republic of China over the rough roads of the central Soviet Union. The Hummers made the drive with ease, and highlights of this journey were broadcast on ESPN in the United States. The publicity would pale in comparison to the attention that the HMMWV received for its service in Operation: Desert Storm the following year.
