The Honda Accord Coupe made its debut in the United States for the 1988 model year. Throughout the years the popular coupe has built upon the reputation of being fuel-efficient and intelligently engineered vehicle.

Often criticized for being too conservative with its designs, Honda took a sporty turn with the new 2008 Accord Coupe. The 2008 Honda Accord coupe were officially unveiled on August 20, 2007. It is a 2-door, 5-passenger family coupe, or sports coupe, available in 12 trims, ranging from the LX-S 5-Spd MT to the EX-L V-6 5-Spd AT w/ Navigation System.

"The LX-S 5-Spd MT is equipped with a standard 2.4-liter, I4, 190-horsepower engine that achieves 22-mpg in the city and 31-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard. The EX-L V-6 5-Spd AT w/ Navigation System is equipped with a standard 3.5-liter, V6, 268-horsepower engine that achieves 19-mpg in the city and 28-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard." This coupe has had many improvements to its chassis, power train, and running gear since its last release.

The 2008 Honda Accord Coupe looks edgy and alluring and it wasn’t so surprising for it to attract so many curious customers and get compliments from them. The other thing you'll notice upon the first is that it looks really big. It is actually made by an illusion perpetrated by the taller, longer nose of the new model.

Its wheelbase and overall length grow by about 3 inches. It's wider by an inch and a half and taller by half an inch.

The 2008 Accord Coupe continues Honda's tradition for having a high-class interior and car parts. It still offers an unexpectedly roomy and comfortable interior. Cloth upholstery is standard; however EX-L models feature leather seats and a leather-covered steering wheel. All Accords have an AM/FM six-disc in-dash stereo, speed-sensitive volume control, a radio data system and MP3 capability. It has an admirable 11.9 cubic feet, and is both larger and more sensibly shaped that the previous model.

Safety features include six standard airbags, including side-impact air bags for front seats and side curtain air bags. Four-wheel disc, antilock brakes, Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control, Brake Assist and active front head restraints also come standard.

The new Honda Accord Coupe has everything that consumers have come to expect from the Accord name. Its sporty style and sophisticated road dynamics help it earn great reviews.
