If you were to name some of the top-selling sedans on the market today, you'd have to be silly to forget the Honda Accord. And not only is it a top seller, it also is a brilliant car.

Is it the best thing I've driven? No. But I'll tell you what, when compared to what else is in its class it is a very, very nice ride. Hell, I even named the Accord one of my Top 007 picks for 2015.

But there's a problem lurking in the industry: People are moving away from sedans and getting into sport-utility vehicles. One could argue its for the utility, others could argue it's for the higher seating position and you could say it's due to space.

Really it's all three plus the fact gas is cheap these days.

So rather than build another standard sedan, it seems Honda wanted to push the boundaries. That's why we've been shipped the 2018 Honda Accord that appears to have a hatch. Considering how successful the Civic has been, it seems like the company is simply following that playbook. Whether or not it will work is another matter as the demographic is a bit different.

Having said that, I've got to ask: Did Honda BLOW it with the 2018 Accord or is this the SMARTEST move the company's design department could have made?
