2008 Honda Factory Performance Accord Coupe
As a dealer-installed accessory, Honda’s in-house HFP products carry the same 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty as the rest of the vehicle, when installed at the time of new vehicle purchase, and are engineered to be fully compatible with the vehicle. The Accord HFP package includes a wide range of performance- and style-enhancing products. The Sports Suspension package (available Spring 2008) reduces ride height by about 25 mm, lowering the vehicle’s center of gravity, and enhancing the Accord Coupe’s sporty road-handling characteristics. Larger wheels and tires include 19-inch, 10-spoke alloy wheels designed for high-performance 245/40R-19 tires (sold separately). A full aerodynamic body kit (front, sides and rear) further elevates the style quotient of the entire vehicle. Interior and exterior HFP emblems complement the package. All of the Accord Coupe HFP components except suspension can currently be purchased individually, and the full HFP package including suspension will go on sale in the spring of 2008. American Honda launched its performance accessory program in 2002 with the introduction of a Honda Factory Performance package for the Civic EX Coupe, and currently offers HFP products for the Civic, Accord and Fit.

These are one of the most beautiful coupes on the road now. I'm not too fond of the sedan.

I absolutely love the sedan. I was seriously considering the TL or the TL Type-S. If you compare both of them side by side the Accord is cheaper, and has more room. Other than that, they are almost identical. The Type-S may produce 18 more HP, but that's nothing. The only other thing the TL has is the audio system can play DVD-A and DTS CDs (which would be nice, but is not worth an $8,000 premium). Unless Honda comes out with a new TL, I think they are going to shoot themselves in the foot.

Honda should make the next TL a RWD!

Do you seriously believe that the 2008 Accord and the Acura TL, "look almost identical"?

WOW!

I certainly NOT seeing ANY resemblance at all between those two...

To Each Their Own!

Isn't it called the Monte Carlo? ;-)

No...

That (the Monte Carlo) would be the 2-Door Impala.

You'd be surprised. I don't know about this Accord, but I've driven the current Chevy Impala SS. 303 bhp and 323 lb. ft. of torque through the front wheels, and it doesn't torque steer. At all. Even with the traction control disabled, you can floor the gas pedal and the front wheels will simply spin in place until they hook up and slingshot you off in a straight line. I don't know how they did it, but i can testify that it's true.

Whether you think my words to be clever matters not one iota to me.

They're MINE, and I stand by them!
