A Notable Feature of the 2008 Honda Accord
The 2008 Honda Accord V-6 engine will gain power, but shouldn't use more gas. That's because Honda will give it a cylinder-deactivation system that automatically shuts down three of the cylinders when they're not needed, in highway cruising or at stoplights, for example.
