==Business Around the World==
Just like many modern companies, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. sells in the global market. And in true modern form, they have realized that although all people are created equal, their likes are not the same. Such is the case with the 3G Accord. While they were all derived from the same basic design, there were distinct differences for each of the following four markets:
*North American ([[USDM]])
*European ([[EDM]])
*Japanese ([[JDM]])
*Asian/Pacific Islands

===Asian/Pacific Island Market===
Asia and the Pacific Island market was an interesting one. Because of the geography of it, some parts, such as Phillipines, received all models that the Japanese market did. Other places, like Australia, received more of what could be called the European market of the Accords.

===North American Market===
The North American market really got the short end of the stick. In the United States and Canada, the 3G Accord was available with 3 trim levels during the 4 year production run, with the United States getting a fourth--the [[SE-i]]--for 1989. All were powered by either an [[A20A1]] or [[A20A3]]. The lower-end [[DX]] and mid-range [[LX]] models received the A20A1, while the [[LX-i]], and later SE-i, received the fuel injected A20A3. However, unique to the American market was the hatchback version. The 3rd generation Accords are the last of the Accord models to include a hatchback in the lineup.

===European Market===
The European market fared better than the N. American market, though still trailing behind the Japanese. Even though they had such amenities as the Accord [[Aerodeck]] and B20A engines, they lacked stuff like

===Japanese Market===
The Japanese market was where the top-of-the-line items were available. Japanese Accords were powered by either an A20A1, a [[B18A]], or a B20A. The JDM Accords received such luxuries as digital dashboards, maplights, and the option to buy [[Mugen]] parts for their Accords.

While an advanced car for it's time, the third generation of the Honda Accord has never enjoyed the same level of aftermarket parts available for it as are available to other vehicles, whether in performance or cosmetics. While in the mid to late 90's, when the import tuning scene was really taking off, a few companies did initially offer parts, most have now stopped. A few parts are now manufactured by

'''A20A3, A20A4, and BT'''
----

The A20A3, A20A4, and BT were the fuel injected versions of the A20A engines. They were run by Honda's PGM-FI system on a partial OBD-0 computer. Again, there is no real difference between the A20A3 and the A20A4 besides the A20A4 having a slightly higher power output because of not having emissions components (hp and tq numbers for A20A3 only). The A20A3 was offered in the 1984-1987 Honda Prelude 2.0Si, the 1985 and 1989 Honda Accord SE-i, and the 1986-1989 Honda Accord LX-i. The BT was the 1986 and pre-1986 version of the A20A3(86-87).

The '''third generation Honda Accord''' was introduced in Japan and Europe in 1985 and the rest of the world in 1986. The Accord had a very striking shape, and looked more akin to a sports car than a conventional 3-box sedan. It bore a resemblance to the second and third generation Prelude. One notable feature was the flip-up headlights, extremely unusual for a sedan. A fixed headlight version appeared in 1987 for European and Japanese markets. The fixed headlight version also had a different tailight cluster.

The 3rd Generation's suspension was a double wishbone setup, which was derived from Honda's work in Formula one. While this setup was more expensive than competitors' Macpherson Strut systems, it provided better stability and sharper handling. All 86-89 Accords Have front and rear stabilizer bars. The Accord's brakes were either Large 4-wheel discs with twin-piston calipers (as in the JDM Si model), smaller 4-wheel discs with single piston calipers, or a Front Disc/Rear Drum system. ABS was also available as an option on the 4-wheel disc brake models, although this was never offered in North American versions of the car. Base model Accords rode on 13-inch steel wheels with hubcaps, with more expensive models having the option of 14-inch alloy wheels.

The Accord's available engines included:

The Accord's interior ranged from spartan to luxurious. In the Japanese home market, The Accord was available with a full power package, Leather upholstery, heated seats, heated mirrors, a digital instrument cluster, and even climate control. The Accord Aerodeck (a three-door hatchback Accord made for Japanese and European consumers) had Recaro seats. Export Accords were not available with most of these options, presumably (and in the USA in particular) because Honda was seen as a builder of economy cars.

==Basic Info==
*The Accord was available in several body styles throughout the world;
**4 door sedan,
**2 door coupe,
**3 door hatchback (only availabling in North America)
**3 door "Aerodeck", which resembles a station wagon (not available in North America)

*Wheelbase: 102.40 in.
*Length:
**174.80 in. (hatchback)
**179.70 in. (coupe & sedan)
*Width:
**66.70 in. (hatchback)
**67.40 in. (coupe & sedan)
*Height:
*52.60 in. (hatch)
**52.70 in. (coupe)
**53.40 in. (sedan)
*Transmission:
** 4-Speed Automatic Overdrive
**5-Speed Manual Overdrive
*Fuel capacity: 15.9 gal.

==3geez in North America==

Four basic models were available:
*The entry level '''DX''' featured standard items such as cruise-control, rear window defogger and digital clock. Windows, door locks and mirrors are all manually operated, and commonly standard items today such as a sound system and right hand mirror were available but not standard. Hatch and sedan models featured unpainted black bumpers. For 1989 only, the DX coupe was also available in red with a black interior.
*The mid-grade '''LX''' was loaded with standard features such as air conditioning, power windows, power locks, power mirrors on both sides, high-power AM/FM cassette, body colored bumpers, and rear seat armrest. Both the DX and LX models featured the A20A1, a 98 bhp carburated engine, though LX models received a larger front anti-sway bar. Earlier engine codes for 1986 labeled the carburated models as BS while the Fuel injected motor was labeled BT.
*The top of the line '''LX-i''' add to the features of the LX with a 110 bhp fuel injected engine (A20A3), power moon roof, 14" alloy wheels (sedan only-the hatchback and coupe wore wheelcovers), rear anti-sway bar and full-logic cassette player. In 1988, the LX-i benefitted from 12 more bhp with a redesign of the A20A3 fuel injected engine.
* In [[1989]] Honda brought back the '''SE-i''' trim which included cup holders, leather seats, a Honda-Bose music system, bronze-tinted glass, machined 14" alloy wheels, dual tip muffler and 4-wheel disc brakes. The SE-i was available in both coupe and sedan versions. Only two colors were offered in the sedan and coupe.

In [[1988]], the USDM Accord received a slight makeover. Bumpers, front trim (corner lights, eyelids and grille), and rear signal lights were modified, and larger anti-sway bars were added to improve handling performance. Fuel injected versions received a 12 hp boost, reaching about 122 hp at the crank. The Accord coupe was also introduced in 1988. Built in Marysville, Ohio, it was the first Japanese car to be produced in a factory located in the United States and exported back to Japan.

In [[1988]], the USDM Accord received a slight makeover. Bumpers, front trim (corner lights, eyelids and grille), and rear signal lights were modified, and larger anti-sway bars were added to improve handling performance. Fuel injected versions received a 12 hp boost, reaching about 122 hp at the crank. The Accord coupe was also introduced in 1988. Built in Marysville, Ohio, it was the first Japanese car to be produced in a factory located in the United States and exported back to Japan.
