The purpose is said to have better gas mileage without decreasing power when necessary.

The only thing US Accord about it is the exterior styling..
Everything else is like the TSX, The interior is exactly like the TSX..
It doesn't make sense because the TSX is a Accord back in Japan so How can they have the Inspire and Accord have the same interior..

I am happy if I could give you additional information of new INSPIRE.
Interior http://www.honda.co.jp/auto-lineup/i...ior/index.html
- Multi information display that displays various kinds of information such as average gas mileage, outside temp, CMS (Collision Migration Support System?) status etc,
- Independent climate control for driver's side and passenger one.
- Blue illumination
- Electric powered rear sun shade. Switch on console and it is folded automatically with reverse gear.
Equipments http://www.honda.co.jp/auto-lineup/i...ent/index.html
- HONDA Smart Card Key System
Having the card key in his pocket, when the driver pulls the door handle the doors open, when he leave INSPIRE more than the set distance the doors are locked and when he turns the knob the engine starts.
INSPIRE had Immobilizer also.

Mechanism http://www.honda.co.jp/auto-lineup/i...ism/index.html
- i-VTEC
When less power is required such as cruising on a highway, three cylinders of one of its two banks stop valve lift.
Also, this engine requires only regular gasoline although the exhaust is ultra clean.
- 5-speed S-matic with shift hold
INSPIRE holds a gear when it is in the corner.
- Drive by wire
The amount of gas pedal kicked by the driver is also calculated by computer to control the throttle ideally.
- Comfort body tuning
Active Control Engine Mount is used as i-VTEC can stop one of its two banks.
Safety technologies http://www.honda.co.jp/auto-lineup/i...ety/index.html
- Line beam HID
New Line beam HID can lights roads more widely and further than current INSPIRE.
- ABS with EBD
EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution) can control best distribution of stopping power for front wheels and rear ones.

complain all you want
looks .. looks .. looks
copy this - that, blah
bla..bla..blah
Is that all you people care about?
How about HiDS? CMS? and gazillion of new features not found even in the benz family?
Say what you want, if the new Japan Inspire is coming here, under any badge, with all features intact, it'll be on top of my to-buy list

Anyone know why its an Accord and not a TL?[/QUOTE]

I'm wodering if the Inspire wasn't selling well. [/QUOTE]
No, I cannot see many INSPIRE/SABER here in Japan.
I think that my Saber is great, but average Japanese buyers look like to buy Toyota Mark II, Crown, Aristo or Nissan Cefiro, Skyline, Gloria.

So they basically took a better and faster car and turned it into a new design (ACCORD) and just added features..
Why would a newer model have a smaller engine, less HP, Smaller Rims...
What if the 2004 TL is just a souped up Accord! OMG I Would be pissed!

guys, this is not the next TL. Although acura will be using a lot of the inspires features, that car is an American accord with goodies. Dont you see. instead of Honda of Japan and Honda of America having to seperate cars for each continent, they will sell the american accord with goodies as the japanese Inspire and HOA will sell the Japanese accord as the us TSX. Its all about money. Acura though will be using the features from the japanese market cars along with a host of new things, but the next TL is being designed in America and probably wont see japanese shores. Look into the site more. The pics clearly show a nice accord.

What if they make the next TL a Accord thats pimped out?
Or they cancel the TL and make a Acura TSX Type-S The next TL!

Official figures are:
- Max power : 250PS at 6000 rpm (247Hp SAE)
- Max Torque : 296Nm / 214lbs at 5000 rpm
And the engine deconnects 3 cylinders out of 6 when cruising - They call it "Variable Cylinder Management" !!!!
