Secret family cars of 2006 - Other family cars arriving in 2006

What?: Honda Accord When?: January 2006 How much? From £16,900 (est)
We won't see the all new Accord until 2008, so to keep the current car fresh, Honda will give the car a few nips and tucks. The face-lifted Accord may only look a little different to the current model, but it will be laden with safety gadgets such as Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assist System.

What?: Mazda 6 MPS When?: May 2006 How much?: £25,000 (est)
Just because you are looking for a family car doesn’t mean you can't have a bit of fun, too. The sharp handling abilities of the Mazda make it a perfect match for the hot 260bhp engine in the 6 MPS (Mazda Performance Series).
