Default 6th generation accord coupe question.

my question is why the 6th generation coupe back lights and body style completely different than the ones found on the 6th generation Sedan version. was there ever a 6th generation accord coupe that had the same back tail lights and body styles that the 6th generation sedan has?

personally i think it would look better. just my opinion

No, the rear ends were always completely different.

It's quite simple. They wanted the coupe to look different than the sedans since they wanted a younger demographics for the coupe. The prev. Accord coupe still looked like a sedan from many angles so the need for differentiation from the 6th gen. and on. I can't imagine the 6th gen. coupe with a sedan rear-end. And I don't think anybody has ever wanted to do it that way too. But I also don't think the coupe rear end has been modded to be put on the sedan either.
