We all know Honda will run the current model cycle longer than the past. So we should expect the MMC for the 2011, assuming it's now a 6 year cycle.

What can we expect?

I'll tell you. New colors, revised light and bumper treatment. New wheel patterns.

What else?

We could say SH-AWD, but we all know that's unlikely given the price point market for the Accord. Crosstour could be a preview to Accord ver 1.5. But I don't see anything "new."

New 6spd automatic transmission? New from MDX? Unlikely as it's probably more "heavy duty" vs the Accord's need.

New larger 2.5L K-engine? 3.7L J-V6?

I assume technology will flow down from Acura. I really don't see what would be new for the Accord.

What do you think?

 

Nothing major. The last MMC was 2008 and from what I hear Honda has had the 3/5 philosophy meaning MMC's every 5 years with a slight appearance change after 3 years so 2011 would be the 4th year and get the new front and rear bumpers grille etc.

 

In MMC, I meant it to be Mid-Model Change, instead of Major-Model Change.
