What is the reason for the scarcity of black in the 10th generation Accord?
2 Answers
According to surveys from major insurance companies, the reason for the scarcity of black in the 10th generation Accord is that white has the lowest accident rate among car body colors, while black has the highest accident rate. Additionally, white car bodies tend to have higher resale values. Car body colors: Car color is one of the elements of automotive styling. Car colors include the paint color of the exterior body and the colors of various materials in the interior. When the interior environment of the car body and the exterior of the car harmonize with the surrounding colors, it provides a pleasant aesthetic experience for passengers and pedestrians. Honda Accord: The Accord is a testament to Honda's innovative spirit and globally leading technology. The original tires for the Accord are Michelin's ultra-high-performance Pilot Super Sport tires. To address changes in contact area during high-speed cornering, Michelin employs variable contact area technology in the PSS. The luxury version is equipped with 215/60R16 Michelin tires.
As a Honda owner who frequently follows their models, I've noticed that the scarcity of black 10th-generation Accords may stem from shifting market preferences. Honda adjusts production based on sales data, and black appears relatively conservative on this generation compared to sportier white or gray shades favored by younger buyers. With limited factory production quotas prioritizing high-demand colors, black inventory becomes scarce. Additionally, black paint shows scratches easily and carries higher maintenance costs, which may deter average users. These combined factors make black Accords rare sightings on roads - a frequent complaint at car meets, with manufacturers confirming market demand as the key driver.
