Honda has updated the Accord, giving it new front end styling, a few other nips and tucks, and most important to smartphone addicts, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. But there's no ignoring the Accord. Even as SUVs have come to dominate the new-vehicle market amid low gas prices, the Accord remains a force. Accord was the nation's fifth best-selling car in the first half of the year compared to same period in 2014. It was the ninth best-selling vehicle overall. But it's been a rough year for Accord so far, with sales down 15. 9% to 155,746 over the six months, according to Autodata. Honda hopes the updates will propel Accord back into its traditional position nose-to-nose with the nation's best-selling car and arch-rival, Toyota Camry, which is on the market with its own significant styling update.
