Review: 2008 Honda Accord Coupe - Bringing Style and Performance to an Automotive Benchmark

We test drove the Honda Accord sedan a couple of months ago and were impressed by the way Honda has stepped up to the plate in this highly competitive category. Then we stepped into the Accord coupe and were totally knocked out by coupe's performance. Read the article and tell us that the European manufacturers have nothing to worry about losing more market share to Honda.

Name one other car in this segment that's better looking...the G6 coupe? I think not.

+1 hundred. This is a really ugly car. I almost think some designers at Acura got demoted to Honda, and whipped this thing up. There's no way two different design teams could come up with this level of hideousness twice.

Glad to see afordable coupes return. This and the coupe version of the Altima are pretty darn nice.

Toyota needs a replacement for the Solara soon.

TeeCee06,
How exactly did they "copy" the BMW...And Euro-look styling? I am not seeing it. I am not being a jerk, I am just asking what you see specifically that was copied. A lot of people throw out comments and don't back them up with evidence, or explain "why" or "how"...

Thanks.

I have to admit, when I test drove this car I was shock! Honda has really came up. The interior of the car is on par with a luxury auto-maker like Lexus and Audi, but the handling is marvelous. I was just so impress. This 2-door honda is by far the best car Honda has ever made.....

Just test drive one Accord Coupe, believe me you will be impress just like the judges in the article.

Honda gets a A+ for this one.....

I really like the V6 Sedan. The Coupe not so much. If the Accord Sedan were RWD there would be one in my driveway. I like the Honda Quality. The Accord interior is really nice, besting the Lexus IS interiors imo. The V6 engines also have some decent grunt (and decent fuel mileage).

Honda, RWD please?

You mean like the Bangle butt which in actual fact was copied from a Hyundai Genesis which was released way before Bangle went east to copy the uasian slanty eyes of headlights, and Hyundai butt i should say!!

i have always respected Honda for their engines and engineering in general.

of late, i've lost respect for their STYLING efforts.

at least, this coupe is not so atrocious as the PREVIOUS generation coupe, which copped the cheap looking roofline the benz also had.
