European Accords?

Does anyone know why the European Accord is way different than the USA Accord?? The Euro Accord looks like the TSX.

LOL the Euro-R is practically the TSX. In Japan they don't have Acura, so the RSX is the Honda Integra Type R and the TSX is the Honda Accord Euro-R.

Or atleast this is my understanding of it.

yea ur rite. there is no acura in japan. for example the acura nsx hear is the honda nsx over there. its just like how there is no lexus in japan either.

thanks for the replies. that makes sense. so if the TSX is the accord, then what is the accord? Or do they have an Accord there?>

yea its called the Euro-R in Europe. it used to called the Type-R

You can pretty much count on the US always getting the watered down versions of whatever Japan and Europe have from Honda. Same goes with most other companies. United States always gets the poo cars. :mad:

God Bless America :rolleyes:

yea but now that the STi and EVO VIII are out, Japan not bein greedy anymore.

:swear: I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THAT ACCORD INSPIRE, WHAT'S IT EQUAL FOR HERE?

Here in the US? I don't believe the Inspire has an equivalent in the US. From what I've heard, in the past it went Accord EX, Accord V6, Accord Inspire. So the Inspire was supposedly the top-of-the-line Accord model. The closest you'll get is probably an Accord Coupe tricked out with all the options possible.

IMO that pic of the Inspire makes it look like a Mercedes SLK manufactured by Honda =P Probably just the angle though.

you noticed that too?!?!

if you notice it...there are the base models of other countries have the VTEC...the US does not (am reffering to the civics)

and yes...the euro accord is the acura tsx. a lot of cars in the US get renamed or rebadge when it comes into production in the US. just like the rsx from honda integra to acura rsx, nsx from honda nsx to acura nsx, or the toyota altezza (IS300 for lexus).
