Honda's Accord Coupe Concept Sketch

TORRANCE, Calif. — Honda released a teaser sketch of the Accord Coupe concept on Tuesday, saying the car will make its debut at the upcoming North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

The sketch shows the styling direction for the next-generation Accord Coupe, which is in Honda's product pipeline for the 2009 model year.

Honda described the sketch as a "bold new look" for its Accord coupe and noted that the Detroit show will mark the first time an Accord concept car has ever been shown at a major auto show.

"The Accord Coupe Concept will convey exterior styling cues and design features that provide a first look at the direction the next-generation Accord will take," Honda said in a statement. "It promises to set a new benchmark for Accord and for the segment."

The Accord is Honda's best-selling model in North America.

The sketch shows the Accord Coupe concept from the rear. It appears to be low-slung, with quad exhaust, large wheels and an abbreviated greenhouse. The 2007 Accord Coupe is equipped with either a 2.4-liter inline-4 that makes 166 horsepower or a 3.0-liter V6 that makes 244 hp.
