The funny part is the TSX is better than the Accord here, As in higher class..

Over in Japan the TSX is a Honda Accord and a US Accord is a Honda Inspire..

So basically they made a TSX a lower model over in Japan?

While giving it the same interior except for couple other things.. But ya the Inspire will have a V6 as opposed to a 4 cyclinder

OMG This has the LKAS system which I have talked about before..

It keeps your car in lane automatically! OMG!

The new Grille, The FOG lights, The FEATURES, The NICE Exhaust all make this car 50X better than a USDM ACCORD!

The back still kills me but with all these features and etc.. I would still consider it

Does this car have Xenons?

No, did you look at the web link I gave about the Honda Inspired, those are some great features I wish I had on my Accord. You can not compare Acura TSX to a Honda Accord (JP). And you can not compare Accord (US) to an Inspired (JP) I was comparing them in term of chassie (from how they are equipped, thats all the thing it shares.). They have varying degree of how they are equip and design.

Yes, this car has Line Beam HID head lamp. The lamp is said to light wider and further than current Xenon of TL.

You took the words straight from my mouth!

First of all, you guys act like the TSX is trash. If they add a V6, I'll go trade my 99TL in. The new TL is bigger then the TSX so it probably does share the same chassie as the 03 US Accord. Now if you think the new TL is a pimped out Accord........what do you call our current rides? It will have enough differences to keep it from being call an Accord (esp since it doesn't have that ugly rear)

we have setup a groupbuy on new inspire JDM parts at v6p.net

of course, america will always get the stripped down shells of the real cars that are available in japan. we dont get half the technology that they get in the same cars over there. Too bad it is not possible to transplant the entire dash from a JDM accord into a domestic, and use the navi and such here. however, not only does honda do this, but toyota and nissan also. a few years ago, only the highest models had HIDs available on them in the US...such as the RL, whereas in Japan, even the lower models had HIDs and GPS available. Now that those features are finally trickling down into the lower-end US cars, they are already coming out with more new stuff.

by the way, i always thought it was the new infiniti q45 that had pioneered the keycard thingy to start the car? although, i could be wrong since i wasnt even aware that Merc had it...i do believe teh BMW has a similar trait also.
