As a 2009 model Honda offered a diesel version of the Accord. The Accord diesel for the US market was confirmed at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, and has been unveiled at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. The new Accord is one of the bigger coupes available on the market. Same as its sedan counterpart, the Accord coupe is also available with several trims and engines for different demands.

“The base motor is a 2.4 liter 190-horsepower four-cylinder with 16 valves and Honda’s i-VTEC variable-valve technology. It also offers a 3.5 liter 268-horsepower V6 and a Variable Cylinder Management, which shuts off three of the cylinders under light-load conditions. It is standard on the EX-L automatic but not available on the EX L with six-speed manual shifter. The V6 car is heavier than the four-cylinder, it weighs around 3,500 pounds.”

Honda says it focused on making the interior of the coupe a more luxurious place than in the previous generation of the car. Their looks have become more aggressive than the old sedan and other coupes in the same category. It has a large grille opening and of course with a famous H logo in the center. It also has its halogen projector-beam headlamps

Although I'm not a Honda fan, this Accord coupe is noticeably ahead of the Altima. Its styling is much better than any other sedan's. And I think that the engine is capable of not getting stressed at any regular driving speeds.
