2009 Honda Accord Euro website (Australia)

http://euro.honda.com.au/

The TSX is a lot more luxurious, and the Euro only comes in dark interior too.
We don't even get offered the Tech package, which I thinks is pretty cool.

That sport grille looks like an Acura grille if it was chrome.

I rather like those 17" alloy wheels ... the "front and back" effect of the spokes is intriguing.

The sport grill ... looks like the older Honda grills ... but if an Acura badge 1GEN or 2GEN will fit on that center piece... !

jadimase...If you can figure out to get some here, please let me know. I have already written them and inquire about importing one of those to Canada...If I can't, I'll see if a friend visiting that country could bring me one....

They are nice. As are the stock 18's that come on the Luxury and Lux Nav models.

I am just waiting for the accessories price list to come out, Im thinking about getting the lip spoiler. I was going to wait and see what aftermarket bodykits come out for it first though.

Shipping is easy, we could come to some arrangement...

Might be cheaper to get direct from Japan?

Us in Australia always complain that we lose out on luxury features that the TSX gets. We still don't have bluetooth and with the 09, have only just started getting memory seats!

I think we will see these rims in an upper level model, maybe the much talked about V6. They look great, but shame about the weight.

They also get an 8 way power passenger seat. Hmm, I bet we will see that within a year or so too.

Doesn't the TSX get 8-way power seats too?

Sports grill is boring and would be a downgrade on a TSX in my opinion.

Depends if you are into sporty look or bling look.

I think our new euro grill looks cheap, but better than the TSX.

I much preferred the CL9 grill, as I am sure every one else did as well.

The driver's seat is 8-way power while the passenger's is 4-way power. You can not adjust the height of the seat bottom.

FWIW, only the MDX offers more than a 4-way power passenger seat for 2008 model year but the 2009 RL picks up a 8 or 10 way passenger seat though.

It does come in Milano Red. It would be nice to see how a Miano Red 09 TSX would look????

The sports grill doesn't look sporty, it looks like any other grill on a 4 door sedan. Marketing over style on this one.

That sports grill looks very similar to the 1G TSX grill, it has the apearance of an airplane from a head on angle.

Their Volcano Grey isn't the same as one of the colors offered on the TSX, is it? It looks like the Polished Metal, but I am guessing it's actually quite a bit darker?

Actually, I thought Honda kept the same color name in all markets? They do have a tendency to release colors so close to each other that if they weren't side by side you couldn't tell them apart. Nimbus Gray and Sterling Gray on the MDX is a good example.

We can order any of these items, since they all come from Japan. I am just waiting for the latest books to be released.

Yeah, I think our volcanic ash is your grigio.

I got my volcanic ash '09 yesterday, and it is a little bit darker than old graphite colour. It looks close anyway.

I also like the Honda Euro grill much better than the NA TSX grill....

I guess the Euro Luxery Navi is like out TSX with tech package but without the bluetooth.
