With the market turning to favor either crossovers, sedans, or more innovative body styles, there are very few mid-size coupes like the Honda Accord Coupe remaining.
The Nissan Altima Coupe is the closest rival to the Accord; shorter in overall length and wheelbase, the Altima Coupe feels a little sportier than the Accord Coupe, but the Nissan's choppier ride and more basic interior should place it lower on the list for those who value luxury and comfort.
Another rival is the Volkswagen Eos; the Eos feels surprisingly nimble and responsive, though its exterior is rather conservative.
And for those on a tighter budget, the Scion tC might be a worthy alternative.
Though the Scion tC has a responsive powertrain and bold look, its limited headroom and subpar interior trim are bound to turn some away.

The 2012 Honda Accord Coupe |
The 2012 Nissan Altima isn't as roomy as the newest mid-offerings, but as a coupe or as a sedan, it's one of the best-looking and most sporty mid-sizers. |
The 2012 Volkswagen Eos convertible underplays its hand too much--the styling's not nearly as grabby as its turbo power and its smart handling. |
The 2012 Scion tC is starting to develop an interesting personality, though it's still not very fast or exceptionally nimble. |
