GT5 Transcripts/Honda ACCORD Coupe '88

While we've seen numerous cars from the needs of the Japanese market, the Accord Coupe was a Japanese car created for the U.S. It all started in 1970 when Honda established its first U.S. factory in Ohio, and soon thereafter, created a local research and development factory in California. Its findings flourished in the form of this two-door variant of the popular third generation U.S.-spec Accord. What made the Accord Coupe its styling, engine tuning, suspension tuning, and equipment list came from Honda's U.S. arm.
The engine was a 2.0-liter SOHC inline-4 that featured Honda's PGM-FI fuel injection system. Output was rated at 118 HP and 112.2 ft-lb of torque that was transferred to the front wheels. The Accord Coupe's suspension system was identical to that of its 4-door sibling with double wishbones at front and rear. The car's exterior styling was both exciting and elegant at the same time, and looked different enough from the 4-door Accord to attract a different type of buyer. Highlights of its "American" character could be found in the front bumper skirt and high mounted LED brake lights inside the rear spoiler. Inside, leather seats in a variety of different colors and a Bose-exclusive audio system catered to American tastes. In fact, people who bought this car in Japan customized their coupes to look like those in Southern California.
