I was stunned and surprised by how cool (yes, that's the right word) the Accord HFP Coupe was. In fact, I tweeted the car (@Matt_St_Pierre) on 3 or 4 occasions scarcely believing how hot the car actually was. The dual-chromed exhaust tips, the gunmetal-colour 19-inchers and crystal black pearl coat really work well on this shell.
These days, 2-door coupes are few and far between. The Nissan Altima coupe is the Accord's only direct competitor, but it lacks the masculinity that the Honda has in droves. Otherwise, you have the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, the Ford Mustang, the Chevy Camaro, the Dodge Challenger, and the Mazda RX-8. This last lot are all RWD which, as Martha would put it, is a good thing. If it's not your bag, the Accord Coupe really is your only choice. Do the HFP should you do the Honda.
