The Acura TL is not a Honda Inspire

Yea, I'm opening a can of worms here. Hell I don't even have a TLS yet, *but* it isn't no matter what its called in japan. This is not Japan.

ib excuses for modificiation.

Oh and I realize people can modify their cars however they want too, so that argument is out the window.

yup I agree. I dunno whether they are trying to turn the TL into a JDM version of the inspire or whether they just want their car to be different. They will never be able to put the steering wheel on the passenger side so its kinda pointless.

plus the stuff to convert to inspire is expensive....

I think its gay with a capital 'G' but who cares as long as you like it.

unless of course you have fart can exhaust, double decker wings, and windshield wiper led nozzles then you should <b>DIE!@!</B>

But its interesting that this forum was introduced by an accord owner, because the new Honda Inspire, in Japan, introduced a few weeks ago is the 2003 Accord in North America. Its almost like we made a trade w/ Europe and Japan, Europe gave us their Accord (now known as the TSX) and we gave Japan our Accord (now known as their Inspire). For many years, the Inspire and TL were the same... but not anymore, cause we all know for a fact that the 2004 TL will kick the Accord's ass.

Yeah, I wonder what the new TL will be called in Japan? One thing I do know though.. it will be 10 times as cool and have 10 times as many features and all of us in the USDM will be rushing out to do JDM conversions... ugh

Man are you sure?? So they're going to have two inspires, one that looks like a USDM Accord and one that looks like USDM '04 TL??? That doesn't sound right to me....

They might make the Inspire and Saber two different designs... just a guess... no proof behind it.

Be proud you can afford an acura. This is just as bad as ricers turing "A" symbols upside down to make an "H"

We need a rating system like slashdot to prevent PWing.

This topic has been discussed so many times and really useless. Everyone has own taste. Just leave them alone whatever they want to do on their own car.

Sure thing, but TL's are still not inspires, no matter how much they waste pretending to own one.

who cares
Its faster than your accord Do I have a prelude badge on it? No. Only thing I have prelude is motor seats (that I never put in , and wheels. Thus Acclude, not AccIwish-*itwasalude. Why am I arguing with someone who considers spark plugs mods anyway? Consider yourself


* " - " there because apparently the admin thinks there arent' adults on this board to handle cursing. It takes away from what Im trying to say s h i t together, but oh well.

I agree.......Inspire conversion is pointless.....considering it will never be a true Inspire, so it kinda stupid when you think about it.....but if people like it, that's fine too.
