Honda Accord Coupe - Seventh Generation

The Honda Accord is an automobile manufactured by Honda since 1976, debuting as a compact hatchback and evolving into a intermediate vehicle. With its eighth generation underway (2008 model year), the Accord has been sold in most automotive markets in the world. It has achieved considerable success, especially in the USA, where it was the best-selling Japanese car for 15 years (1982-97), and became the first Japanese-branded vehicle to be manufactured the U.S. in 1982.

The seventh generation Accord remained a much larger model, growing in size yet again, still available in sedan and coupe forms, though the latter is not exported to either Europe or Japan. This model is also marketed as the Accord in parts of Asia (being made in both China and Thailand) and Latin America, as well as is exported from the USA to Japan to be sold as Honda Inspire. In some markets, both versions of the Accord are sold, e.g. in Australia where the smaller Japan-made Accord is called "Accord Euro" to distinguish it from the larger sedan.
