1981 Honda Accord SE Pushes Honda into $10K Territory
From the March 1981 issue of Car and Driver. The rep for the American Honda Motor Company, Inc., when he handed over the keys to the fresh-off-the-boat 1981 Accord SE, lowered his voice to a conspiratorial tone and said, "This is just a little testing of the waters—to see if Honda can sell in the BMW price range." "SE," in case you haven't heard, stands for "Special Edition," and those words will appear in delicate chrome script on the Glacier Grey Metallic flanks of a mere 3000 Accord four-doors this year. These specially anointed sedans will carry every option in the Honda book, including power windows, power steering, power brakes, Michelin radials, four-speaker AM/FM/cassette stereo, and air conditioning. Beyond that extends a long list of fitments that are not in the Honda book—at least they weren't until now—including power antenna, folding rear-seat armrest, alloy wheels, special gray deep-pile carpeting, and genuine Connolly leather on the seats. This, you might conclude, is intended to be one plush little unit. View Photos Patrick Bedard | Car and Driver Hearing all of this, and knowing how crazy car prices have become in recent months, we ventured a tentative "How much?" "Only $9950," was the answer. Aargh! A $10,000 Honda! "That's the five-speed. The automatic is 10,200," he said. How can a Honda cost $10,000? You guys keep it simple, right? You're the company that removed the stigma from small-car ownership. It was okay to have a Honda. Rich people bought them. But this Special Edition is a cop-out. Any company can be in the stigma-free-small-car business if it charges a lot of money. "Yeah, but the SE has all the stuff. You take your base Accord at $7435, add $600 for air, $500 for the digital cassette radio. Already it's $8500. This is a great deal." View Photos Patrick Bedard | Car and Driver Well, folks, maybe it is. But looking at the parts list, we come away with the idea that a few bits of trim add 1500 bucks to the price. Of a Honda. It wasn't so long ago that you could get a whole Honda for that money. For the full several hundred miles of our evaluation drive, this five-digit price kept nagging at the old editorial sense of value. This is a $10,000 Honda? And if it is, then what must rutabagas be going for down at the Hy-Vee? Certainly the Special Edition gives every indication of being a Honda. It has all those little idiosyncrasies we've grown accustomed to: the soft chattering when you engage the clutch and the gentle bucking of the engine when you ask it to accelerate from low revs. View Photos Patrick Bedard | Car and Driver But the old Honda charm is there, too. The engine climbs happily to the redline. The body doesn't creak and groan. The interior is perfectly assembled—nary a loose thread or smear of adhesive to catch the critical eye. And the luxury touches are so tastefully and confidently done. The trunk is thickly carpeted and fitted with small bins on the sides to hold minor objects that you don't want to roll around. The interior is a light dove gray, very popular at Ford a few years back but still fashionable enough. And the seats really are leather, exuding just a trace of the aroma that Connolly also imparts to every Rolls-Royce and Jaguar. Moreover, the Special Edition seems to work better than any Accord we've ever driven. The usually flaccid shock absorbers seem a bit tauter. The shape of the seat is correct, its depression for your butt back where it belongs now, rather than halfway forward in typical Japanese fashion. The power steering isn't as numb as it used to be. The directional stability is better. The car more graceful. Its mood more, well, BMW-like. Of course, we car critics can still find faults. The power-window controls are big and bulky, looking very much like the tack-ons they are. The stereo sounds as though it has K-mart speakers. And the radio itself has so many tiny buttons, with such small descriptions of what they do, that you practically have to pull over to the side of the road just to change from AM to FM. But it'll sure do some tricks, this radio, and the car around it is such a jewel that maybe $10,000 really is fair. Certainly there's nothing else on the market with similar quality, luxury, and efficiency for ten grand. View Photos Patrick Bedard | Car and Driver Just when we had convinced ourselves that there is value in a $10,000 Honda, we saw a dealer ad in the classified section of the New York Times brazenly offering an SE five-speed for $13,950. Apparently while the American Honda Motor Company is merely testing the BMW waters, dealers are jumping right in. They may be avaricious and unconscionable opportunists, the car dealers of this country, but one thing you have to give them: they do know what cars are worth.

Volkswagen Details 2026 Model Year Updates Ahead Of August Arrival
Volkswagen has announced all the updates for its 2026 lineup, with some 2026 models due to arrive in showrooms in August. Since most models were all-new or significantly refreshed over the last two years, the 2026 updates introduce a few refinements and additional equipment to the VW range. Let's take a closer look at what's new for 2026, starting with the brand's SUV range. The smallest and most affordable VW crossover underwent a comprehensive refresh for the 2025 model year, so for 2026, VW has elected only to add some more equipment. The Taos now gets standard rear-seat pretensioners, while a mid-model year change will see the introduction of upgraded 15-watt wireless charging. Range-topping SEL models now get an upgraded sound system with eight speakers. An all-new Tiguan was introduced for the 2025 model year, featuring a fresh look and a more tech-heavy interior than before. For 2026, the main change is the introduction of the SEL R-Line Turbo, which gets a more powerful 268-horsepower turbocharged engine, up from 201 hp in the other Tiguan models. VW has also updated its Travel Assist and assistant lane change systems; this applies to all trims. Very little has changed for VW's largest SUV models in the USA for 2026. Buyers going for the SE with Technology trim and above now get a factory-installed HomeLink mirror. The Peak Edition, SEL, and SEL Premium R-Line are the other trims benefitting from this change. VW has delayed some of its EV plans, but the ID.4 continues as the brand's sole electric SUV for the 2026 model year. S Plus trims will get a new HomeLink mirror, but VW says a mid-model-year update in 2026 is on the way, when new features will be added to the crossover. No information has been shared on the just yet, following its launch for the 2025 model year, but information on potential upgrades will be announced at a later stage. As with the Taos, rear-seat pretensioners will be standard on 2026 Jettas. The SE gets a standard sunroof, wireless charging is upgraded to 15 w, and SEL variants receive an upgraded eight-speaker sound system. After losing its manual gearbox and getting an updated infotainment system for 2025, there are no major changes for the 2026 Golf GTI. The Golf R underwent similar updates last year, but it's now available with a new exterior color called Graphite Grey Metallic. We expect the manufacturer to share pricing for 2026 models imminently, given that many of them will start arriving in August. The impact of tariffs could come into play here, as VW only promised to freeze pricing of new cars until the end of May. With that freeze now behind us, buyers may be seeing some unwelcome price hikes for 2026, and given how minimal the 2026 MY changes are, it may be a smart move to get a 2025 VW while you still can.
