Like the new Accord sedan, the 2008 Honda Accord coupe has been radically redesigned. The new two-door features the same engine choices, with one exception: The V-6 comes equipped with a six-speed manual as an option. Surprisingly, the manual transmission gets worse gas mileage than the automatic transmission.
We’re most impressed with the interior of the new Accord, as the exterior styling, especially in coupe form, is more of a love-hate affair. There’s something off-putting about how the hood line doesn’t meet up with the grille. And that grille … that’s something only the car’s designers could love.
We’ll have a full review of the new Accord up later today, but for now, check out more photos below.
