The Honda Accord was first released on May 7th, 1976. It was a good seller at the time due to its moderate size and exceptional fuel economy. It was originally released as a three-door hatchback, but a year later it was released as a sedan. It used the same 1.2 and 1.5-liter engines as the Honda Civic of the time.

The fourth-gen Accord, introduced on the CB chassis, was unveiled in 1989 for the 1990 model year. Although it was bigger than its predecessor, the design was similar, with the same low-slung design and wraparound rear window as the third-gen. For the first time, a 3-door hatch was not available internationally. This model became one of the first U.S. cars to include optic reflectors with clear lenses in the headlamps.
