Behold, the Honda Accord Coupe Liveth - Briefly, and Cheaply

Although it seemed hard to believe, we were under the impression up until a few weeks before the 10th-generation Honda Accord’s launch, that the 2018 Honda Accord would spawn yet another Honda Accord coupe.

On July 14, 2017, we learned the Honda Accord coupe would die an honorable death. The 10th-generation Accord sedan, according to Honda, will hold sufficient appeal for those former Accord coupe buyers — Accordians, who made up roughly 5 percent of Honda’s midsize clientele.

But the Honda Accord coupe, while futureless, isn’t dead yet. There are more than 5,000 on dealer lots across the United States right now. And according to CarsDirect, they’re pretty cheap.

Honda Civic vs. Honda Accord. That is the question.

Do you want the smaller, nimbler, more efficient Civic coupe with its surprisingly useful rear seat and more distinct exterior design? Or do you want the larger, more American, more capacious, collector classic Accord coupe? It won’t be a decision you make on financial grounds, because they’re going out the door at the same price.

Granted, this is a story we should have covered yesterday when considering the plentiful array of discontinued new cars still present in new car showrooms across America: Chrysler 200s and Infiniti QX70s and Volkswagen CCs and Hyundai Azeras. The Accord, despite our constant coverage (TTAC’s audience eats it up; it’s the most common vehicle owned by TTAC’s B&B) was sadly left out of the mix.

Leasing customers aren’t the only ones who will benefit from American Honda’s desire to sell off remaining Accord coupes. In a un-Honda-like move, CarsDirect says the Accord’s financing rates over five years are way down at 0.9 percent; 1.9 percent over six years.

Nationwide selection of Accord coupes remains varied. Roughly half of the Accord coupes in stock are mid-grade EX-L models, according to Cars.com. There are nearly 2,000 V6-engined examples remaining, more than 300 Accord coupes with manual transmission, and 51 manual-shift V6-powered Accord coupes.
