2008 Honda Accord Coupe

With its combination of aggressive styling, dynamic performance and advanced technology, the 2008 Accord Coupe's design philosophy is aggressive and powerful. Its sophisticated design takes the Accord Coupe further toward exciting, sporty performance than any Accord Coupe in history – and then delivers on that promise. There are no visible exterior body panels, lights, glass, grille or bumpers shared between the Accord Sedan and Accord Coupe – only the door mirrors and door handles are common. Beneath the skin, the underlying chassis construction is the same between the Sedan and Coupe, except that the Coupe wheelbase is 2.3 inches shorter.

Accord Coupe Design Philosophy
The 2008 Accord Coupe's exterior styling reflects its fun-to-drive nature. That's by design, because Honda wanted to expand the segment by creating a more sporty and aggressive car. Thus the Coupe's goal is to be the sporty leader, not only with its styling but its driving excitement as well.

Exterior features back up the Coupe's styling and the driving mission. Every Accord Coupe has a deck-lid spoiler and large exhaust tips with 2.25-inch openings. Four-cylinder Accord coupe comes with 17-inch alloy wheels and the Accord Coupe V-6 has standard 18-inch alloy wheels.

Accord Coupe Front Grille
The Accord Coupe has a powerful and sporty-looking 6-point grille, with a unique 3-dimensional bar and mesh design. Beneath the grille is a broad air dam with aggressively sculpted channels to direct airflow and provide visual identity. Widely spaced fog lamps are integrated below the headlights on V-6 models.

Accord Coupe Profile
Along the side of the Accord Coupe body, strong character lines extend from the front fender nearly to the tail lamps. The roofline is streamlined and flows aerodynamically from the top of the A-pillar to the rear deck. Long doors provide a generous 43-inch opening for easy entry and exit, while an aggressive wedged shape builds a unique identity for the Coupe.

Accord Coupe Projector-Beam Halogen Headlights
The 2008 Honda Accord Coupe is equipped with projector low-beam headlights. Projector headlights provide a distinctive sporty appearance with a bright, focused beam for confident nighttime driving. Flush-mounted clear covers blend in with the Accord Coupe's front fender lines for a sleek appearance. On the V-6 models, fog lamps are also recessed more deeply into the front bumper than the Sedan's.

Accord Coupe Tail Lamps
Brake light and tail lamps are unique to the Accord Coupe. As aggressive as the front end and headlights, they promise both performance and attitude, and their compact dimensions contribute a precise look.

Accord Coupe Wheel Design
The Accord Coupe has standard 17-inch alloy wheels with five pairs of sharply sculpted spokes. The available 18-inch alloy wheels have ten evenly spaced, smoothly contoured spokes.
