2008 Honda Accord Coupe vs. IS
 
I know, the IS wins by a mile. They are obviously not in the same class but what do you think of Honda's new coupe for 2008. Take in mind this is a concept but lets assume it will be the final design for 2008.

It looks pretty cool, but I hate FWD.

But it will be a front wheel drive car. :thumbdn:

Actually the new Accord coupe looks like what the IS should have been. It could easily have a Lexus badge on it.

It looks good. I agree the FWD is bad, but I would still buy one.

I think it looks alright, definately better than last generation's but the front end looks more American than it should.

the front looks like a scion mixed with the new audis and the back looks like the new galant. I think it looks really good in general

to me it has the line of the Audi, but also the lines of the G35C..

I think it looks awesome! Looks a little like the BMW 6 from the side, overstated TC from the front, and Civic coupe from the back. If Honda's didn't have so much road noise on the freeway, and cheap dent prone panels they might come up in the world...

I love the clear tail lights. Not a bad looking vehicle. I can't wait til the IS Coup comes out though.

MattyL147 02-01-07 06:29 PM

kinda reminds me of a hyundai tiburon

ISbb 02-01-07 07:05 PM

no IS look much better! The Accord Coupe looks like TT at the back... IMO Accord could never come close to my IS...

Has the IS coupe been confirmed? The last article I read stated Toyota thought the coupe market was small and not worth the effort.

This is the only Honda in the history of Honda minus the S2K that doesn't put me to sleep when looking at it. Now the question is, is it going to have a typical Honda engine making it's peak HP at 15k RPM's and 12ft lb of torque, or are they going to give it some balls?
