本田

????2012款本田思域（如圖）上市后口碑很差，這讓日本第二大汽車廠商本田（Honda）深受打擊。因此，2013款雅閣（Accord）承擔了更大的風險。但本田并沒有放緩腳步。本田對整個謳歌（Acura）生產線進行了改進，而且對超過三分之一的車型都進行了更新，以決戰2013車型年。不過在此之后，本田的換代率有了明顯下降，可能很難壓住最近奮起直追的日產（Nissan）公司。

Honda

????The number-two Japanese automaker got scalded by the reception to its uninspired 2012 Civic (pictured), and the stakes will be even higher for the 2013 Accord. But Honda isn't braking. The whole Acura line is being revamped, and the automaker is replacing more than a third of its product line for the 2013 model year. After that, Honda's replacement rate drops off markedly, and it may have a hard time holding off hard-charging Nissan.
