I love how all the new gauges are made with LED's. It looks so cool in my dad's accord, so bright and vibrant

Actually your right, the TSX is the Accord Euro R. Honda brought it over here under the Acura badge to be the car to replace the integra 4-door.

HondaLuver will become famous soon enough
if some people decide to put this into their cars, wont this be the same as people putting h22 or h23's into a civic?

woudn't it be better to turbo this rather than a k20 because of more room for boost?

That's what I thought about it. I wouldn't be suprised if it looked like the Accord euro either b/c Acura and Honda are one and the same.

it will have 2.4L, not a 2.0 of the k20. still 200 hp though (for the base model, dunno about a type-s).

35k? you've got to be kidding me. if that's true it definitely won't be the integra 4-door's replacement

That's $35,000 Canadian. That would be around $22,000 USD I'm guessing. Or about the same price as a WRX abouts.

This car is probably a lot smaller than you think, as they said... in person it's a lot smaller.

Inside it reminds me of the new Accord... well it is off the Accord platform. The more I read about it, the more it reminds me of it. If the price is right, I'd consider it. At least it has more torque than most 4-cylinder Hondas. $30k sounds ridiculous when you can pretty much get the 260HP CL-S for that much dough.

Looks like Honda's finally bringing out more of their goodies. I was VERY impressed with the new EX V6 6-speed Accord Coupe. Hope the TSX offers what the red badged Accord offers. Too bad we won't get a Type R TSX... the Accord EuroR uses the K20A of the Integra Type R.

I love that car, it looks awesome. If they would only sell it in Mexico... and at a reasonable price...

Only thing is the 4 cyl engine. Imagine the kind of BMW killer it would make with the v6, 250 HP under the less heavy (than the American Accord) platform.

I would have a hard time choosing between a TSX an Accord Coupe or an IS300.
