JDM Accord = TSX ?

I know TSX is re-badged Euro Accord....
But is it also a re-badged JDM Accord ?
How many cylinder does the JDM have ?
I was looking at Honda Japan site http://www.honda.co.jp and wondering.

The JDM Accord/Euro Accord is the NA TSX.
The NA Accord is the JDM Inspire.

JDM is cheaper, wow !

wow, very surprised to find that JDM Accord 2.4S is like $2K cheaper than base TSX.
Looks like Honda really bilked us for the Acura brand

I'll add a little bit more to that.... the JDM Accord/Euro Accord uses the same dash as the NA Accord, and the Inspire uses the same dash as the TSX. So a US Accord is an Inspire body with a Euro/JDM Accord dash, and the TSX is a Euro/JDM Accord body with an Inspire dash....interesting stuff

After reading your post I went to the Honda/Japan website to check it out...yeah, that's quite interesting... The inspire also has a 3.0L V-6 i-vtec.

You can't compare prices in different markets cause of taxes, configuration and other differences.

If they had the volume/cruise adjustments on the JDM Accord steering wheel, I'd be all over that. It has the same texture and shaping as the JDM ITR wheel. I woulnd't mind those pedals either. I miss my stock pedals that were in the S2000.
