The 11th generation version of Honda’s stalwart four-door sedan is getting a hybrid powertrain, a much bigger touchscreen (blergh), and built-in Google apps. It’s a reminder that Honda is co-developing vehicles with General Motors, which is also releasing vehicles with native Google applications.

It also shows just how far the Accord has come over its extended lifespan. My first car was an ‘88 Accord, and I’m having some difficulty picturing that boxy beauty sitting alongside this highly polished gizmo.
