ur best bet would be going through past tapes of best motoring.

They tend to do sports cars that are way above TSX's league. So, ...

yep, there's a better chance of the euro accord showing up on 5th gear instead.

yah i just got into watching top gear, didnt know too much of the difference, i just figured the 5th gear was an americanized version showed over here or something. pretty sweet tho.... mostly i was just trying to find a some what "professional" beating the car hard. i just wanted to see what our car could take at high speeds and what not, rather than some kids screwing around..... but actually any tsx videos would be good too but like i said i wanna see how others are driving the pretty much stock car... not really like the race version....

I dont think they will.. no point. I thinkt he slowest car they had on there was the RSX Type-R or the Civic Type-R, which is still faster than the TSX. Plus I mean they make fun of 4 doors on that show.

There's a TSX in Best Motoring. They dont individually comment on each car, but they do "drive" the cars really well. All their drivers are at least JGTC level and are monsters behind the wheel. Plus they tend to drive tuner cars, and every now and then the Lambo or Ferrari.

Watch the Motegi Race. Maybe I'll put it up for you... It's a Murceialago, Gallardo, Modena, M3 CSL, and the NSX.. guess who wins

I'm a top gear nut ... I've got every episode going back to Nov 2003 and am working on going back to 2002 when the new version of the show started...

Looking back on the list though, no they have never tested the Euro Accord. The closest test would be Top Gear Magazine (written by the same guys and others behind the scenes) who tested the Accord Diesel over there in late 2003 or early 2004. Which they really liked.

I believe Clarkson's quote was along the lines of "i wouldn't of known it was a diesel if someone didn't tell me"

which ones are you talking about?

the review of the accord diesel was in the TG magazine, never on the show, so obviously there's no video of that
