new Spirior concept....

I like it better than the TLX....



Five years after Honda and its Chinese joint-venture partner Dongfeng Honda Automobile kicked off production of the local market Accord dubbed Spirior, which was directly related to the 8th-gen European and Japanese Accord, and the North American Acura TSX, the big "H" is preparing Chinese customers for a new model via the world premiere of the Spirior Concept at the Beijing Auto Show.
While not identical, the Spirior Concept does give the sense that it was designed by the same people who penned the new Acura TLX…at the same time, especially when you compare it to the TLX Concept.

According to Honda, "the all-new Spirior achieved significant advancements in exterior design, dynamic performance and technologies as well as safety features", with the automaker adding that the market introduction of production 2015 Spirior sedan is scheduled before the end of this year.

The concept, as well as the production car that will follow, is powered by Honda's 2.4-liter direct-injection four-cylinder gasoline mill paired to an 8-speed DCT transmission.

Among other standard and available tech features offered on the new Spirior are head-up display, lane departure warning and blind spot display systems.

Looks like a mix of the older civic and newer accord.

Front looks better (euro civic), side looks like RLX, and back looks like new Accord.
I like the rear lip/diffuser/exhaust area, but doubt it will be on production.

No more Accord Euro, Just one Accord for all.

Ok I'll be the contrarian here. I don't like that chrome trim that runs along the bottom sides. Both the front and back are a bit much, especially the front is just trying too hard to be something. The new Camry and Charger have similar black grill openings, so this must be the new design fad.

You gotta keep in mind that this is just a concept and not the final version. Concepts tend to be a lot more extravagant.

Looks great. This is what the 2009 TSX should have looked like IMHO. This is way better looking than the 2nd Gen TSX and the current TLX.
