I'm sure you have noticed by now the difference between the European Accord and the American Accord. But have you noticed that the Acura TCX 04 is the exact copy of the European Accord 03. The only difference outside is that It says on the Honda and for the Acura in the front. And also inside on the steering wheal. That is wired why would Honda do something like that? They are basically getting the Acura in Europe. I will include the pictures of both so that you can compare. Tell me what you think.

 

A TSX is a JDM/European Accord...

Oh yeah, while we are here, a RSX is the same thing as a Japanese Honda Integra.

 

It's rebadged...just like the mazda tribute and the ford excape

 

And the Dodge Stealth, and the Mitsubishi 3000GT.

 

i actually know some guy going to pick up one of those real soon, he's selling his 2nd gen. legend to get a Tsx

 

TSX is tyte..i think it looks better...its faster...2.0 I-VTEC....200hp stock...clean!

 

its 2.4 liters DOHC iVTEC for USDM

 

What do you mean the TSX looks more tyte? They look the same on the outside and inside, that was my whole point. It sucks that in Europe they get an Acura when they buy a Honda. And the only differences between the engines are that they have increased the HP to 200 for the Acura in US. Also both the Honda and Acura has the same engine. (An DOHC 2.4 ) ( 160 HP) ( 200HP).

 

what's wrong with honda and acura, they are made by honda motor co.
it's just different version of the car.
JDM always gets all the goodies

and btw he didnt say tsx is "more tyte", read.

 

The dash of the TSX is different then the USDM accord and euro accord.

I dont see what is wrong in rebadging the names. many auto manufactures do.

I am not sure I understand your reasoning here. Acura is a U.S. only brand. Like someone else said the RSX is just a Honda Integra in Japan. I am sure the prices are comparable, just differences in badging, so I don't see why this sucks.

 

You say they're getting an ACURA when they pay for a Honda.

But, you're getting a HONDA when you pay for an Acura. .

Acura = Honda. . hate to be the one to tell ya lol

 

BTW. . you're not really PAYING more for an Acura. . not that I've noticed, anyway. . and I think it's f'n cool that u get a Euro accord

Also, the new Euro Accord is now made in Japan, as opposed to England. . so ya got that goin' for ya. .

I'd take one in a second.

 

The TSX is VERY different from the JDM or Euro Accord. It only looks similar on the outside.

We are lucky to get this car in North America. I know some Europeans that are already jealous.

 

Isn't the TSX equivalent to the Euro-R version of the Accord in Europe? If so, then we are lucky as hell to have one here. Anyways, I'm getting mine in 2 weeks.

 

lol whats the point of arguing this? a Honda owns Acura....so all they're doing is slapping a differnet lable on maybe changing minor things....they're just trying to sell the "betteR" car....

 

Different communities will take differently to different marketing and what not. Selling the same car but branding it differently in different societies is done all the time with many products. And it's not like it's big news that Honda and Acura are pretty much one-in-the-same.
