8 slam-dunk car deals

Check out the Honda Accord on AOL Autos

While the rest of the auto industry has been hurting, small-vehicle specialist Honda has been chugging along. Still, even Honda has to clear out the old to make room for the new. So look for low-rate financing on 2008 Honda vehicles.

Often thought of as half of the "Accord and Camry" set of top-selling midsized sedan, the Accord has a personality that is quite distinct from that of its Toyota competitor. While the Camry is sedate and serene on the road, the Accord is responsive and snappy. This is a car for those who want a little more fun in their family sedan.

The Accord's recent redesign cranks the fun quotient up a little more while simultaneously adding to the practicality that has made it a mainstay.

As part of Honda's end-of-year clearance sale, buyers with good credit can get low-rate - but not no-rate - financing that could take hundreds off the cost of an Accord.
