2013本田雅閣

競爭對手：豐田凱美瑞、福特Fusion、日產天籟（自右上圖開始順時針方向）

????曾經一度讓本田（Honda）鶴立雞群的那種東西如今很大程度上已消失殆盡，就連本田自己似乎也不確定是否能重拾昔日風采。1989到1991年間，本田雅閣曾經是美國最暢銷的車型，不過這已經是N年以前的事了。從今年年初到現在，雅閣的銷量排在凱美瑞和天籟之后，位列第三名。第九代雅閣搭載了更加節能的全新“地球之夢”發動機，整車重量預計比老款稍輕，功率和造型也均稍強于老款。不過這種改良還不能幫助雅閣重返昔日的輝煌。《人車志》（Car & Driver）雜志提醒道：“老氣呆板的威脅仍然存在。”

優勢方：除了雅閣之外，其他車型都存在優勢

2013 Honda Accord

The competition: Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion, Nissan Altima (clockwise from upper right)

????Whatever used to make Honda special has largely vanished, and even Honda seems unsure if it is ever coming back. The Accord was the best-selling automobile in the U.S. from 1989 to 1991, but that feels like eons ago. So far in 2012 it is running third behind Camry and Altima. This ninth-generation Accord with its new, more fuel-efficient "Earth Dreams" engine is expected to be slightly lighter, slightly more powerful and slightly more stylish than its predecessor, but evolutionary improvements won't help return Accord to its former elite status. Warns Car & Driver: "The threat of dullness remains."

Advantage: Everyone but the Accord
