I just got a new car!! 2010 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L San Marino Red.
I just need to get black tint and the car will look great.

So far I love the car and how comfortable it is to drive.

Very nice! I almost got the coupe just because I liked that red so much, but I ended up with the sedan.

The Gen8 Accord coupe exterior is awesome, IMO.

The rear end kills it for me sadly. 8G sedan is opposite, I like the rear but don't like the front end

hopefully the MY2011 refresh will give it LED taillamps like they did with the 7th gen. it's still a great looking car

I like that color or Red! Good choice on that.

I too like the coupe more than the sedan, but the interior is nice on both of them.

[typical ATer]Did you look at the Ford Fusion before making that decision?[/typical ATer]

It's s coupe - they don't make a Fusion coupe. Everyone knows this.

With 2010 Mustang GT's at $6 - $8K off MSRP - the question is why didn't he buy a RWD go fast sports car for what he paid for the Accord. Camaro V6 or Mustang GT.

I like the Accord coupe styling, hate the sedan!

I just found out today that my 2008 Accord EX-L Coupe (which I got in March 2008) and with 23K miles have no rear brake pads left...

I then googled 2008 Honda Accord brake problems....WTF?????

People with 12K miles on their new Accords and the rear brake pads are completely gone while the fronts are nearly brand new and HONDA hasn't done shit???

My service tech graciously informed me that Honda would pay for 1/2 of bill today even though 'normal' wear and tear on my brakes are not covered under warranty...

THIS IS FVCKIN total bull shit...

Yeah lots of problems reported with brake pads wearing out prematurely over at Driveaccord. Honda has already released a TSB for the Canadian market so I hope it's only a matter of time until they extend it to the US market. Maybe you could try bringing it to a different Honda dealership to see if they'd cover it there?

Odd, I just don't like the headlights and especially the grill. I never liked the us spec accords anyway, TSX is a better car imo.

Needs to be lowered... a lot. These cars look hugely tall @ stock. And the tailights are so plain it looks awful at night. I think Honda decided to save $50 and stuck a single bulb for braking/parking into each tail lights.

And V6?

except the new TSX has an even worse grill.

Oh yeah,
I was talking about the previous gen. You can definitely get a low milage TSX for the price of a new accord coupe. Much better looking and fun car IMO.
