A bold new look for the next-generation Honda Accord Coupe will be unveiled at the January 2007 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today.
The Accord Coupe Concept will convey exterior styling cues and design features that provide a first look at the direction the next-generation Accord will take and it promises to set a new benchmark for Accord and for the segment. The Accord is Honda's best selling model in North America, and this vehicle's debut at NAIAS will mark the first time an Accord concept car has ever been shown at a major auto show.
Car and Driver magazine recently named the current-generation 2007 Honda Accord as one of the winners of its prestigious and highly competitive annual "10Best Cars" award. The Accord has achieved "10Best" status 21 times in the 25 years that Car and Driver editors have been conducting the competition, more than any other vehicle in the award's history.

I was just getting ready to post the CarConnection article on this, but Popeye beat me to it!
Awesome artist depiction. Can't wait to see the real thing. Hopefully it won't be watered down too much for mainstream consumption.
Sure looks like it will be rwd or awd from the stance and the rear wheel/tire.

Here's the CarConnection summary...
"Honda says it will show an Accord Coupe Concept at the 2007Detroit auto show. The concept is expected to influence the future shape of its new Accord lineup, which is due in the 2008 model year.
Honda says the Accord is its best-selling model in North America. New in 2003, the Accord is expected to return as a 2008 model in sedan, coupe, and Hybrid forms.
The Accord's competition - the Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, and Ford Fusion - all are new or have been revamped in the past 18 months.
Changes to the 2007 model-year Accords were minimal. The range now offers standard 17-inch wheels, and a choice of either a 166-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder or a 3.0-liter, 244-horsepower V-6."
