yes, I probably should have said "does the Taurus look like a 4 door Accord Coupe"

Since this is a thread about the Accord Coupe, I find this Accord really sexy.







minus the tail lights mod.

I think the side profile is about as similar as two cars can get.

I was recently in a SHO, I must say, I was pleasantly suprised by the interior.

I can see the resemblance also, and since I don't expect 'such' a design from Honda for the Accord, I would say the Taurus looks better!

You threw me for a loop for a second there, Cj. By the thread title, I thought, at first, that you were posting that Ford was actually introducing a Taurus coupe, which would be highly unlikely. Almost all of the larger, non-ponycar American coupes (Eldorado, Monte Carlo, Mark VII, Riviera, Cougar, Thunderbird, etc....) have pretty much fallen by the wayside......even the classic Dodge Charger is now a 4-door.

But, to answer your question, yes, there are some simliarities between the Accord Coupe and what a Taurus coupe MIGHT have looked like. And the Accord EX-L coupe, in my experience, is an excellent-driving car....I was quite pleased with the one I reviewed.

I see a side crease but never in a million years would I think that the 2 cars, overall, look similar.
