If a report is to believed, Honda is apparently working on a four-door “coupe-style” version of its mainstream Accord sedan. Designed in the vein of the Volkswagen CC – which itself was modeled after the Mercedes-Benz CLS – the Accord four-door coupe could make it to North America badged as an Acura.
Auto und Motor Sport reports that the four-door coupe will be based on the European-market Accord (sold in North America as the Acura TSX). Given that the North American Accord is a larger mainstream sedan, the more upscale, style-oriented model believed to be under development would take an Acura badge.

The design could be based on the Acura ZDX concept car that was unveiled earlier this year in New York.

More sweeping and stylish in its proportions, the four-door coupe would trade the traditional sedan’s practicality for a low, coupe-like roofline and probably a more dramatic interior. Its North American arrival could coincide with the rumored TSX Type S high-performance sedan.

Likely powered by the same 2.4-liter four-cylinder that sees duty in the TSX, the shapely Accord coupe would also offer the 2.3-liter, 260-horsepower turbo four and a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox expected to arrive in the TSX Type S. A North American variant could also be powered by the same V6 in the recently-introduced TSX V6.
