Here is the article
TOKYO — Visitors to the international auto show here are getting a sneak preview of the next-generation Honda Accord for Japan and Europe — and the next Acura TSX for North America.
The Honda Sports 4 concept sedan now is described by company insiders as an accurate precursor of the redesigned Accord. The new Accord will go into production in mid-2007 in Japan and will be sold in Europe and China. North American customers, however, will get a different design about the same time to replace the Ohio-built Accord.
Honda sources told Inside Line the Sports 4 also foretells the next-generation Acura TSX, which will be based once again on the European Accord and is expected in U.S. dealerships in spring 2008.
The 2008 TSX is rumored to get a high-performance, dual-overhead-cam, 2.2-liter, four-cylinder engine — perhaps a version of the 237-horsepower unit that powers the S2000 roadster — mated to a six- or seven-speed gearbox.
Honda also is preparing to launch a pair of new entry-level models in spring 2006 in the United States. Based on the home-market Fit and priced from about $12,000, the five-door hatchback and four-door sedan may carry the Jazz name — as they do in other overseas markets — and will be aimed at entry-level models from Korea, as well as the upcoming Nissan Versa sedan and hatchback.
What this means to you: Honda is bolstering its American stable with new entry-level models and a replacement for the TSX.

It will be modified to fit the market by the time it comes out. Besides it is JDM specs so things will change before it comes to North America.

SH-AWD. So I believe this is still a FF chassis.
I think JDM civics have 7 speed autos. Or am I wrong?

No, that is just rumors. RSX could just be moving more upscale in the class of the TSX. RSX is the Integra coupe replacement, TSX is the Integra sedan replacement. Next generation RSX, they could increase the displacement and the size of the car, while keeping the 2 doors.
Nothing works better than a Chris except a Honda.

CL has always been the TL coupe. V6.

But, I doubt the TL will ever go back to a 4 banger.
