Noticed a couple new EU Accords on the streets this weekend and was surprised that it has grown quite substantially.
Most here probably now that the front clip on the euro Accord (your TSX) is quite different but the rest of the cars design is the same.
When I first saw the car coming towards me from a distance I mistook it as an Avalon.
Here is a pic from head on http://www.honda.ee/index.php?m=2&l=2&n=11
I must say I like the car in the flesh much more then when I first seen the intro pics.
The lines are very nice along the side with the dramatic front wheel well arches, and the execution is quite nice in the rear end.

And again was surprised at the larger size being longer and the wheel base looks much wider. I look forward to seeing the wagon variant on the streets here. http://www.honda.ee/index.php?m=2&l=2&n=6
the eu accord wagon is a huge improvement over the last one.  too bad they don't bring it here.  2.2L diesel tsx wagon?  that would be nice.

Yes the 2.2 diesel is offered but only with the 6spd manual tranny. Gas engines are the 2.0L and the 2.4L both offered woth the 5spd AT and 6spd MT.

Nice ride, I have always been a fan of the TSX.
I even like the grill, it gives the car some "I'm going to eat you" character.
In a world where the dead are returning to life, the word "trouble" loses much of its meaning.

my tsx had a 6spd manual.  the manual transmission is great.  even my audi avant is a manual 6spd.  i have tried the semi autos in various cars and i just can't get used to it.
