Honda to Preview 2013 Accord with Accord Coupe Concept at Detroit Auto Show:
Honda has announced that it will bring a design study of the 2013 Accord Coupe to the Detroit auto show. The Detroit show is already shaping up to be a big one for Honda—Acura, its luxury subsidiary, will debut the next NSX sports car, RDX crossover, and the new Honda Civic–based ILX in Detroit—and the Accord is one of the automaker’s most important models. The current-generation Accord (the 2012 coupe is pictured below) hit the market in 2007, and although it’s a perennial sales leader and is again on our 10Best cars list this year, it could certainly use a few updates.
Honda didn’t offer us any peeks at the new coupe, but the announcement does confirm that the next Accord family will include a two-door model. Honda has a history of displaying “concept cars” that look nearly identical to the production models that follow; expect that to be true of this Accord coupe concept, too. The next Accord—coupe and sedan—will go on sale in the fall of 2012.
