2008 Honda Accord Coupe
April 16, 2007 by Alborz Fallah
Honda has not sold the seventh generation Accord Coupe in Australia. Whilst the standard Honda Accord is made in Thailand (like the Civic) the Honda Accord Euro, the more popular model, is made in Japan (the price difference is roughly $3,500 between the two for the basic model).
At the North American Motorshow, Honda America showed of the 2008 Accord Coupe:
Whilst there are currently no plans to bring the Honda Coupe to Australia, perhaps a positive response from Australian customers might make the Japanese manufacturer give the Coupe a chance.
Below you will find some spy shots of the accord taken a few days ago in the states:

I personally think it looks fantastic!
Each to there own, i think it looks like a hunk of junk and a big hunk at that! Now the first shot (silver one) looks ok under lights and on stage but the ass end of this thing does it no justice at all.
God the guys at Honda have had a run of bad luck with their designs i tell ya what if the designers for Honda fell in a bucket of tits they would come up sucking their thumbs….
I dont like the front, but otherwise… its okay, it would be unlikely that a coupe would come to Oz.
The whole thing looks very Americanised… the back looks crap, the front looks ok but certainly nothing special. Id take a Ltd Edition Euro over it anyday… way better looking car.
Looks kinda dull, but doesnt the back have masking over it? Not the best design ive seen but when it comes to new cars which are borderline on looks, i prefer to see it a lot more before i make up my mind. for me, this is one of them
I liked the 2008 Honda Accord Coupe Concept pictures. Once I saw the pictures I wanted the car. The pictures make the car look so nice and differnt then what it actually looks like in person. When I went the 2007 Auto show in NY I went to see the 08 Accord Concept and was disappointed in how it looked. I no longer want the car. The pictures showed the car completely differnt.. The car looks so akward in person.. Go for the new 2008 Nissan Altima coupe instead.. The car actually looks just as good in person as it does in photos.Sorry bad one for Honda….
I currently drive a Honda Accord Euro Luxury 2006 model and love it. It has all the equipment of a european luxury car and not the european price.
I was saying the other day that a coupe from Honda in this format would be great. The Integra doesn’t cut it, but the Accord Euro looks like it would.
Yes I would buy an Accord 2008 coupe if Honda Australia decides to bring it here.
I have worked for over 20years in the car audio industry and I can say for a fact that many of my clients also would consider purchasing one if given the opportunity.
For sure it would be on my list..
I would like to buy this HONDA, hope australia company will get it in to australia. Thank you
I would buy the new Accord Coupe. I think it looks fantastic. However since Honda won’t be bringing it to Oz I’ll be buying the 2008 Mazda 6 instead.
Looks so great and would be in the showroom like a flash have always wanted a coupe version of the accord since seeing it in the usa 15 years ago please Honda Australia bring them on
it won’t come to australia. it is not even sold in Japan. the coupe is only for the US market, left hand drive only.
Somebody had a lack in taste
Would not like to see that in my driveway!
I think that this Honda Accord Coupe is amazing I would buy one if they were sold in Australia. It is very funky looking and really stands out.
Come on Honda let us have them.
Definetely will buy one (or two) BUT alas, Australia usually get the left over of what another country dont want! So, all of us just drool over looking at the Honda Us.Thai/Europe website………
I JUST BOUGHT MY NEW 2008 HONDA ACCORD COUPE AND I HAVE NO COMPLAINS. I LOVE IT. IT’S MY THIRD ACCORD AND I WILL ALWAYS STICK WITH HONDA.VERY RELIABLE CARS.
Heck yeah I would totally buy a coupe.
I have owned 5 Hondas – and I want to buy the new Accord as my lease is runnung out. NO one can tell me when new one being released – very difficult! Can you please tell me?
Thanks
MEL – what do you mean – new Honda Coupe 2008?
both my wife and i would definitely buy an Accord Coupe, that is, one for her and one for me!!!
Chris
I got two honda cars, a accord and a prelude. I just cannot find any car in the market to replace my prelude. None of those looks good. This new Accord Coupe looks very good
I have the 2004 Accord Euro, I would love the coupe here told my detailer so. So Please Honda ( Japan) let use have the coupe here
Pete
I would buy it (the Coupe) but alas, being in Australia, it aint comin’ and 1 thing though about Honda cars! Their colours are soooo boring! Cmon, give me beige! You can have any colours as long as its black! Cmon Honda bring em here!
Looks great, but the rear doesnt look as good!
Simple statement Honda AUstralia
I WANT A HONDA ACCORD COUPE. SHIP IT OVER AND I WILL BUY ONE!
simple isnt it.
I’ve seen one of these coupes in person. ALL black, matching wheels. Sick!!! (The interior is equally stunning)
Great car, would definitely consider buying it.
yeah i would def buy 1 i love the interia
- AUSTRALIA –
I HAVE HAD 2 CIVICS 1 INTEGRA.
I GOT THE MONEY SITTING RIGHT HERE HONDA FOR AN ACCORD COUPE’ 2008
OTHERWISE IM BUYING A TOYOTA MAYBE 2ND HAND SILLYCAR… I MEAN CELICA. OR MAYBE ILL GET SOMETHING GERMAN AND NOT GET A HONDA THIS TIME ROUND.
They have to bring the coupe to Australia. I have the 2007 Euro, its a brilliant car but it lacks sleek exterior styling and sophistication. The coupe on the other hand is more along the lines of BMW and Mercedes, timeless and sharp. Bring it down under please.
I want one. Please bring it to Australia so I can buy one.
IT LOOKS FANTASTIC
i want one
theres a major lack of coupes in australia and we need more please bring the accord coupe to australia
Def lack of coupes in Aus. We just need to look at the success of the BMW coupes in Aus. For those who cannot afford one, Honda will be able to provide one with simliar qualities and the driving experience. If Honda brings it here in Aus, I’m 100% sure it will be a success.
We do get done over in terms of coupes, hell even a Camry use to come in coupe form in the states!
I must buy this car….
because that car so fantastic.
please bring that car to Perth, Australia.
I’m waiting your answer.
Bought my 2008 Accord VTiL last month. Beautiful car, BUT, yes BUT, first week passenger sunshield where the mirror is, shattered without reason, and it take 3 weeks to order from Japan a week later the driver side FELL OFF its hinges! Reported to Honda Australia and all they did just a standard answer email, no one call, maybe just my bad luck, I had a new CRV and Jazz previously, no problems, I wish they would call and offer some kind of complimentary service or accessories to replace the inconveniences caused. Other than that, I love the car. Yes I got the beige (Bold Beige) with ivory leather, I have to ordered the ivory all weather matt and door protector from the States as Australia dont have any, a usual.
in my opinion the new accord coupe looks great. I would be pleased to see it imported into Australia as I want to Replace my Honda Legend coupe with a new luxury Honda coupe as my current car has proven to be a fantastic car that is extremly reliable and enjoyable to drive. Plus Honda needs a coupe back on the market now there is no Integra, Prelude or Legend coupe.
If it was avaliable now I would purchase 2
Im looking at buying 2 of the new Accords but this coupe looks Much more appeling
I like it, I want it. Why are we always last to see the good cars available.
I hope they make it to Australia soon as I am ready to replace me car and this is the replacement i was looking for.
More appealing to me then the 4 door. Definitely interested in it coming to Australia. It’s the kind of car i am looking for at the moment.
it would be great to get the coupe to Australia.
we need a replacement for the prelude and this would be a great opportunity for Honda Australia to take.
They should bring a few in stages like 10 per month and see what interest prospective buyers have with the vehicle.
I currently work at Honda Australia for about 6 years now,
i have many customers or nearly every day asking for the Honda accord coupe, im pretty sure its going to be a popular car. i Personally would love to drive one
I’d buy it today if it were available. Currently own an Accord Euro and looking to upgrade to a sportier car.
I would definitely buy one…so few coupes currently are available in the Australian market.
Would love to get this car if only they had better colours. the US has a nice Red coulor with ivory interior
Great looking coupe – the 4 door blows compared to this.
Would buy now if available in Australia..
I agree Westy, the 4 door is a poor looking vehicle…
Why are so many great coupes sold only in a lame 4-door version here in Australia?? It’s f_cking ROCK-BOTTOM!!!
Please, give us some decent looking (and performing) coupes like this. Pfft…No more s_it PLEASE!?!!
I will be the first person to buy this CAR.
Love Honda Accord Coupe
Love the accord coupe. Currently driving an ‘86 accord hatch which is getting to the end of its life, but can’t find anything I like to replace it with. This car is the one I want.
Bring it to Australia, best decision ever made by Honda!
I have one of these now and I absolutely love it. I have almost everything in it excluding nav, and bluetooth. It is a 4 cylinder but it does have power. Compared to my ‘06 base Cobalt it’s 100 times better.
I’ve had a few problems with the bumper not staying exact and moving a little and a few problems with the interior which were fixed under warranty.
Other than that I haven’t had any problems.
I really love the Accord Coupe its is the best from all accord
i would love to see one in Australia but unfortunately if its not going to happen i will be thinking of importing one.
