If I were king I would stop building the coupes and offer station wagon
versions in the US again.  Few vehicles are as flexible and useful as an
Accord sized wagon!

I'm in Houston.  From what I see on the freeway 60 miles each day most of the
Accords are coupes.  4 doors are rare.  I've been looking at the coupes myself.  I
need to test drive one and compare to Mazda 6.

Dunno, for a little car, I want all the room I can get.
The coupes are fun to drive, but not overly practical for all
the stuff I do, unless maybe a hatchback.  I actually prefer
having the 4 door accord, cuz on mine, the back seat folds
down and you can use it sort of like a wagon. Which I do
most of the time.  I checked it out, and I could actually sleep
back there if I had to. If I go diagonal across, with my head
up by the front seat back, and my feet towards a tail light,
I can fully stretch out, with room to spare. I was sorta
amazed actually... I do camp , etc quite a bit, and it's
quite possible I will sleep in the thing eventually. I actually
want a small wagon, but I stumbled into the honda and
decided to try it for a while. I still may buy a wagon of some
type, and sell the accord at some point.  But the accord is
usable for what I want it for. Which is mainly to save gas $$$
vs the ford trucks I've been driving, getting appx 16 mpg
highway. I still have two of those, both with camper shells.
I see a return to more small wagons to tell you the truth. The high
gas prices will be converting a goodly number of large
SUV drivers before too long..  For me with a small honda size
car, a wagon is the #1 config for me.. I wish my 89 was a aerodeck
or whatever they called it.  The selection of decent small wagons
is not overly large it seems.. There are a few though.

    Way back in '92 I decided on buying the two door. I was commuting
(solo) on I77 for fifty miles every day. I liked the room and the fact
that I wasn't looking at the back edge of the side window frame when I
turned to look left.
    Over the years I have removed the back seat and installed a bed and
mattress and camped at the air show in Oshkosh, folded the rear seat
down and hauled a dozen 2x4's and hauled a lot of things.
    I have found the wife's Mazda ProtÈgÈ 5 to be a better vacation vehicle
when we both travel for a week or so.
    If I were to replace the ole '92 today, I would look at the Accord two
door, but just from seeing them on the road it seems to me to be more
like the old Prelude (too small)       bob

Until last week, I didn't even know they existed.  I'm sure I've seen
them, but never identified them as being an Accord.  A cow orker just
bought a shiny new red one, and I've been checking it out with some
curiosity.

With the spacious rear seats begging to be used, the whole two door idea
seems a little silly.  I've always felt slightly claustrophobic in the
back of a 2 door car, and sliding/tilting the seat to escape is a PITA.
 If you're not going to carry more than 1 passenger, why not get a
slightly smaller car?  If you're the carpool king, a 4/5 door would
clearly be the way to go.

As others have mentioned, the 4 door Accord wagon is a handy beast.  In
the 6 months I've owned mine, I've had three people ask "how do you like
it."  When I mention that Honda stopped making them some time back, all
three displayed disappointment.  I'm sure wagons will come full circle
soon, now that the minivan fad has peaked and big SUVs are rapidly
becoming even more stupidly expensive to drive.

2 door coupes and hatchbacks are completely out of style in US and Canada
these days.

SUV's  and 4 door sedans are what sells.
