Looks like cleared out headlights will be available also with more options for rear bumpers.

I wonder if the space where the 6 disk changer would be is a usable compartment or not.

I think it is, I know the base models in the US don't have the in dash changer, but they have a compartment.

Yes there is a recorder available for the JDM Accord. It records front and back 20 seconds of emergency brake and impact (front approximately 12 seconds/rear approximately 8 seconds). It can also be activated manually. Cost about $1000 installed.

Our tsx is supposed to be luxury stuff right? How come we don't get the fold in mirrors and all that good stuff? I mean they have clear corners and options with sports tuned suspension. I'm a little bit upset =/. We have to wait for mugen parts and japan released a honda with the good luxury stuff that infiniti and bmw has =(. Can these parts be obtained for a fairly reasonable price though?

I can't tell if you're genuinely pissed or just joking around. Either way, I'm laughing.

If they added all that the price would go up and I'm not sure I'd be psyched about the higher price tag.

On the other hand I'd really like to know why decent cars like the Ford Fiesta or the wagon Accord aren't offered here. I might have bought a wagon TSX for the extra utilitly.

It's cool to see a 90-97 Accord wagon cruising around. They make sense, but the U.S. still considers hatches cheapy or not cool like an SUV.

Whether you're in Okinawa with an Impala or Ohio with a RHD CTR, we always want what we don't have.

maybe we should all sign a petition and send it to Honda of America and ask them to export the Accord wagon and rebadge it as the TSX wagon. It probably won't work, but it might be worth a shot.
