Honda is bringing back the coupe that was discontinued in 2001 at the end of its fifth generation. It will go into production next year as a 2026 model. The coupe will have the same hybrid powertrain that is in the updated 2025 Honda Civic lineup, which is a good move given how well it performs. And no, it will not have a manual transmission, Honda global officer in charge of electrification Shinji Aoyama tells MotorTrend.
