I have heard that 2008 Accords are showing rear brake wear in excess
of what is normal for most sedans.

I wondered if my 2009 Accord will have the same problem? The long term
reliability of Hondas is one of the main reasons I went with the
Accord over my other possibilities at the time (The others in the "top
three" for me were the Mazda6 and the Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan.)

I heard from someone that when you brake coming up to a light that the
rear brakes do more work because a computer sense that is more stable.
That said, I don't hear of other current cars with the problem of wear
this fast as a common complaint.
