Accord Euro Type S at the Geneva Motor Show

The Type S is based on the 2.2L i-DTEC diesel-powered Accord Euro but features more power thanks to a revised turbocharger, cylinder head and larger intercooler. Final output will stand at 180hp (134kW) – 30hp (22kW) more than the standard model. Peak torque has also increased 22lb-ft (30Nm) to 280lb-ft (380Nm), which comes on at a relatively low 2000rpm.

Those would look better on any color.

I can't wait to pick up a set eventually.

Gorgeous and what an engine! I'm looking at cars right now and I would buy this car in a flash if it was available in the US!

The wheels looks like the 18" for the TSX V6 coming in June to the US, although there's no word on Canadian availability. I like the clear corners, hopefully one can order the cover only and not the entire HID unit which cost around US$500 each. Overall, it's a nice, clean looking package.

If those front lights are available on the Accord we should be able to order them from overseas. I have relatives in Australia....

You are right. I have ordered online from Honda UK, sports gear shift knob 6MT w/ leather boot as well as the blue ambient light set last month. Took only nine days from order to delivery in Canada.

Go to http://www.lings.com , click on Honda Parts and you can begin. The Search by Honda model does not work for Accord, you need to know the actual part no and enter on the left side Search by Honda parts number. Try this for CBP front lip skirt 08F01TL06B0A Good luck. One more thing, I went to Honda Swiss site http://www.honda.ch and download the Accord Tourer accessories brochure and price list in pdf format to get the parts number. Thank goodness I paid attention during my high school French classes many moons ago

True, even though the front bumper looks the same w/ the exception of headlight washer, may want to contact Honda on that. Also, you may not be able to paint match w/ Euro model, they have CBP, PWP and PMM, but also Buran Silver, Milano Red, Volcano Grey, Royal Blue Pearl as well as Cobalt Blue Pearl.

I still don't understand why in the world Acura could not have offered a lot of those features on the V6 TSX...

Clear Corners on Headlamp
Front Lip/Side Skirt

If anything, it would have made the car more distinct and recognizable when compared to the I4 model...

Clear corners aren't legal in the US. US law requires an amber reflector of some sort on the front-sides of the vehicle.
