The Accord is Honda's best-selling vehicle. Last month it outsold the Civic (22488 vs. 20143 units) and to date this year 324555 units have been sold. The Accord and Accord Coupe are Honda's bread-and-butter cars so it is with great interest that we view the sketch above which is the Honda Accord Coupe Concept that will be unveiled at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in early January. In a press release Honda comes right out and says "a bold new look for the next-generation Honda Accord Coupe will be unveiled at the January 2007 (NAIAS) in Detroit." While coupe and sedan versions of the Accord do vary in sheetmetal their looks are practically identical ahead of the A-pillar. The Accord Coupe Concept we see in Detroit come January should reveal in its lines the next-gen Accord family.

It's extremely difficult to cull any real information about a production vehicle from a concept and even more difficult to do with a concept sketch where all dimensions of reality are exaggerated by the artist's pen. Still we can make out what appears to be a wider track that allows for broad shoulders above the rear fenders something the current coupe doesn't have it all with its slicked back side sheetmetal. The C-pillar is an attractive design as well with a kink not unlike that of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage.

We'll be on hand in Detroit when the Honda Accord Coupe Concept is unveiled to bring you plenty of pics and analysis of the car in person. You can check out the full press release for the concept after the jump.
