Don't forget the PZEV... Mostly differing emissions controls on the same engines if your referring to the Accord.

PZEV is partial zero emissions vehicle. My 2005 I4 is PZEV. My 06' 6-6 claims to be ULEV. I know the main difference on the I4 is cat. converter and exhaust related. Probably chokes out a few horses I'm sure.

Emission and maybe different CATS. I know CA has stricter emission and you can only but CATS that are C.A.R.B approved.

All the PZEV and SULEV cars are sold in the States that have adopted the California emissions standard. Pretty much the whole of the NorthEast (NJ,NY,MA,NH, etc , etc) follows CA. Some other States too like Washington and others. Pretty much the whole South of the country laughs at that stuff

Never was. It is AT-PZEV (Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle).
Sorry, maybe 2005 was SULEV.

Hondas run clean, if you keep it well maintain. Disregard those label.

The Accord Hybrid should have been SUPOS...Super Ultra Piece of Sh*t....oh wait, it was because Honda killed that mistake after two years.
