When did the current Accord get launched here in the Philippines? Late 2003 or early 2004?

How many years does it have left before they launch an all-new Accord? (Estimated)

Kasi I plan to buy an Accord, but I'm worried kasi ang daming promos na nasa-newspaper (Low down, ZERO interest, tsaka they dropped the V6's price). Baka malapit na sya mapalitan kaya ganun....? Or talagang mahina lang ang sales ng Accord ngayon?

Facelifted ASEAN/RP Accord will be launched this year(launched late last year in the US) and an all-new Accord should be out for the 2008 model year, so that would probably be mid to late 2007(estimate).

Based on past Accords, their model lifetime is around five years before an all new model comes out. The current came out in 2003. Expect it to be phased out and replaced by 2008. Late 2007 for the USDM. PDM probably mid-2008. Just look how long the 2006 Civic is taking to be released here. Its been out in the US since late last year, and up to now its yet to be released here.

I guess the 2006 mid-cycle update should keep the Accord fresh till late 2007.

either way (current model or butt-lifted one, in case you can't wait that long for the butt-lifted one), you'll be getting the best midsize sedan out there hehe

i expect a new gen of Accord mga 2008 pa kasabay ng new gen CRV.
Accord and Camry is like RAV4 and CRV, 2 years ang gap.
case in point:
Current Camry was out since 2001
Current Accord was in 2003
now that Toyota introduced a new Camry for 2006 mga 2008 pa Accord nyan.

meanwhile
gen1 RAV4 1996 vs gen1 CRV 1998
gen2 RAV4 2001 vs gen2 CRV 2003
gen3 RAV4 2006 ---> gen3 CRV 2008?
