Out of all the weird “car you wouldn’t think was a limo is actually a limo” vehicles out there, this innocuous yet wildly offbeat ninth-gen Honda Accord limousine may somehow just be the weirdest of them all. Perhaps this is down to the fact that it is the ninth-gen Sport model, complete with the two-tone 19-inch wheels that were once catnip for thieves, as well as the little Sport badge on the back still intact. One Redditor once referred to it as the “Accord Spoooooooooooooort.”
Digging into it a little, this car is (or at least was) operated by a rental company in Mexico called Cancun Executive VIP Transportation Bus rental, and you could, at one point, rent it for as little as $115 per hour in Cancun—more if you’re in Puerto Morelos, Playa del Carmen, or Tulum. However, we got in touch with Eduardo Fernandez, who handles bookings, and he informed us that the Accord Spoooooooooooooort is no longer in service and hasn’t been for the past four years. Jacob Auernheimer (who snapped the pic below) says he saw this car driving around Mexico just Tuesday, so perhaps it’s currently being used as a runabout vehicle for somebody at the rental firm.
Fernandez says the Accord was originally modified into limo duty in Guadalajara, and when it was in service, it was about as popular as other car-based limos in the fleet. “Most demanded are SUVs,” he says. According to its website, Cancun Executive has limousines based on a Hummer and a Chrysler 300, which are common enough limo cars, but there’s also a stretch Ford 500 and a longboi version of a Toyota Tundra.
The Accord Sport limo (Acoooooooord?) remains the most jarringly hilarious, though. Like bumping into a kid you used to go to high school with at a cocktail party… except he’s a waiter. In Cancun.
