Some TSX Pictures
Apparently the next European Accord will be an Acura. It appears as though Honda styling has met Mazda6 in this vehicle (so I'm sure in JDM the Atenza v Accord will be a good match). It looks classy enough to be an Acura. Imagine it with a chrome bar in its grille and thats the look.

It's just the Euro Accord so it won't be RWD. I'm not sure we'll ever see a proper RWD sports sedan from Honda. As for engine options... I've heard it will be the 2.4L I4 (K24) from the CR-V/USDM Accord rated at 180hp in the base and 220 in the Type-S version. Atleast that's what has been heard... no confirmation yet.

I am confused as to what cars this car compares to. What segment is this car in?
The TL, Accord, and TSX are all real close in comparison. I am guessing the TSX base will be more than the Accord LX, but less expensive than the Accord EX V6.
I am sorry I don't see this car doing much for Acura, eventhough the car has nice engine and will handle good. I am just confused as to where this car sits.

The TSX might go up against the IS300 and 3 series, where I bet Acura will bump the TL, and RL up slightly (only a little)..........it's smaller, more agile, and it will probably come with a manual transmission........
I don't know about you, but when I see the TL, I don't think "that's a sporty car" like I do when I see an IS......the TL looks too big, and too tame for that.....I think the TSX will be that sporty little sedan that Acura is missing.

So this car will come with 200hp and a 6spd manual. It should be slower than the RSX-S because of weight. So against the IS300, BMW 330i, and G35 this car is slower and doesn't handle as well. I am still confused.
Oh I see now that it might have 220hp with a 2.4liter engine. I thought this car was going to be the 4 door integra and I thought it was coming with the 2.0liter engine.
