2006 Honda Accord Coupe EX-V6 6MT Road Test

The two-door, midsize coupe is a segment that's almost exclusive to North America, for reasons not quite known to me. These cars are roughly the same as their sedan counterparts, often with the same widths and wheelbases, but they often dispel a different message, one of youth and performance rather than married with 2.5 children and family pet. In other words, behind the dark-tinted shades, and curvy figure, they're family cars that try to be cool. It's an interesting, if not select market that's directed to a very specific audience, and it's one that's been waning in recent years, so much so that they're almost as much of a rarity as the family station wagon. But, for the few brands that still produce, there is one that stands above them all - the very good, and very cool Honda Accord Coupe.
