NAIAS: Honda Accord Coupe Concept Previews ‘09 Model

Honda unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit a two-door concept sibling for its Accord sedan.

The car, say Honda insiders, not only serves as a barometer to public reaction to a more upmarket, two-door version of the traditionally quite staid sedan, but also previews the look of the forthcoming eight-generation Accord family, due in showrooms within three years.

Although the production model is likely to feature toned-down styling, the Concept hints that Honda is set to ditch the Accord's traditionally inoffensive
looks in favor of Civic-like boldness. Honda has already stated that the current Accord will "remain unaffected throughout 2007", which means it could be mid-2008 before the concept-influenced version hits showrooms.

The presentation marked the first time an Accord concept was unveiled at a major auto show.
