Good Bye Tl! Hello Accord Coupe
NEVER THOUGHT THE DAY WOULD COME WHEN I WOULD CHOOSE AN ACCORD OVER A TL BUT SINCE IM A MANAGER AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP MY GM HAS BEEN RIDIN ME PRETTY HARD TO TRADE SO I FINALLY BROKE DOWN AND WENT WITH ACCORD COUPE ON 19' HFP WHEELS. ONLY THING I TRUELY MISS IS THE HID HEADLIGHTS WHICH I'LL PROB HANDLE THAT PROBLEM [IMG][/IMG]

drop it... remove the front license plate and definitely handle those hid's...
atleast it is an nbp... I like the look and since it is a 3.5 it will definitely pull

Damn HFP makes 19s! Looks good, from that angle the accord looks like the BMW 6series coupe.

Nothing wrong with that. Sure, you lose some luxury and refinement.. but I still can't believe that's a Honda Accord. Very sleek! Did you get a real nice deal?
I agree, lower her...

Am I losing it or does that kinda look like this from the side?
Looks awesome man- and this may be a dumb question, but does this car require premium fuel?

Good to know, thanks.
Your car is gorgeous
I just completely paid off my 04 WDP TL w/ my Christmas bonus and am considering this as I really miss driving a stick and want Navi, but it'll be nice w/ no payment.

how does the accord handle compared to a TL?
how do you think a new accord coupe would do against an 07/08 TL Type S???
i'm looking at the TL...but that new accord is really nic elooking...

Even the headlights are different. Not like the previous gen accords where they would share some exterior parts.

I was really thinking about trading my TL in for an EX V6 Accord coupe with navi since my car is paid off, but i decided against it because I don't like the interior. Too much hard plastic. How are you feelin' about the trade up?

the 2008 accord sedan has not been pictured yet on here...the one sedan shown above is NOT the new body style...just a refresh of the same old thing that has been out since 2003
The new Honda Accord has great horsepower (a few fit and finish issues like bad spacing on passenger side door) but other than that it is a hot car, and take regular fuel.
I am ALMOST certain the 6 it is offered with is the same 6 as is on the current TL. I can't wait to see the 4th Gen TL.
Oh, and that pic is not real...the accord coupe...chopped photo 4 sure!

the fact that the new Accords take only regular is great, but I have to disagree about the styling. the AV6 sedan looks quite a bit uglier than the old model. I've always liked the styling of Accords but this one just does not cut it with me. the coupe looks nice though, much nicer than the sedan.
The highest engine in the V6 Accord is probably the same as the Type-S engine, or at least related, since they are only 6 hp apart. BUT, the current and next generation TL take premium, whereas the AV6 engine has been calibrated to run on regular.
oh well, that Accord looked nice anyways, even if it is chopped.
