Recognizing the 2013 Honda Accord's popularity doesn't take a rocket scientist. Just take a look around the Charlotte and Matthews area for confirmation, or simply consider last month's sales figures. Dealerships, including Honda of Concord, sold 33, 538 Accords throughout April, making the model the best-selling midsize car of the month.

So what features does the Honda Accord boast that has so many head over heels?

My recent purchase with Honda of Concord was a great shopping experience b/c of Kristin. We were looking for very specific features, makes and models, etc and Kristin was very patient and worked with my wife and I until we were confident with our selection. In fact, Kristin stayed with us an extra 4.5 hours after her shift schedule ended to help us close the deal. Kristin was professional, very attentive, and approachable?

The Honda Accord is a popular car, not just because of its high safety ratings or its high performance, but because it's a reliable ride until the very end. Just ask Julia S., who shared a heartfelt story of her long-term relationship with her own Accord.

After 14 years and 400,000, Julia's Honda vehicle was at the end of its road. Following its unfortunate end, Julia took the time to write a…

The unexpected happened and I totaled my car, so I was looking for a car fast! I came in and soon as I got out the car and started looking Tom Terio came over and asked what I was looking for, and how soon I was going to purchase, so I told him my situation and that I would be purchasing in a few days! Tom gave me his card and told me to contact…

Honda showed off its Civic Tourer concept at the Geneva Motor Show in March, and at that time, we were told that a production version would be coming to market in the very near future. Obviously, the sleek lines of the concept car will be dumbed down slightly for consumers, but that doesn't mean the Civic wagon will be a bland machine. The Euro-spec Civic's angular front end looks like it will blend nicely with the rakish rump that we saw on the concept.

Our sources suggest that not only will the Civic Tourer be a class-leader in terms of cargo capacity, but it will likely be a pretty engaging car from behind the wheel, as well. Honda is hoping that the Tourer will account for roughly 20 percent of all European Civic sales after it goes on sale.

Expect to see the production car debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September, with the first customers taking delivery in early 2014. In the meantime, have a look at the camouflaged swoopy wagon from all angles in our gallery above.

Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year

Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.
