Actually, Japan and Europe are the only countries to get the "TSX." Australia does too. But most Asian countries get our Accord.
The 5th gen Accord, which was about the size of the TSX, sold horribly because it was too small and too underpowered for US consumers. American consumers want size, power, and comfort. The US Accord is a lot bigger than the TSX and can accomodate a V6 engine, something the TSX cannot.

Yeah I know it wasn't number one but wasn't it right up there with the camry and the taurus almost every year?
I mean there has to be a reason why there are two or three different 5th gens in the top 10 most stolen cars in the USA....
