hi, i'm new and i asked the same question in TSX forum. but i would also like to know what the code name for TL is. or is it just called 3rd gen TL?

by the way, your cars are hot!!

 

you mean like a name comparable to "E36, E39" etc for BMW's? That's the chassis name, and I don't know what it is, sorry.

 

TSX = CL5

TL = Accord

 

I was under the impression that in Japan the TSX was the Accord and the RL was the Legend. I was told that in Japan that the TL is called the Inspire.

Japan----------------Canada/US
Integra------------------RSX
Accord------------------TSX
Inspire (new)---------Accord (new accord)
Inspire (old)-------------TL (old TL)

 

Chassis: UA6

Engine: J32A3

 

Ua6.

 

yea that's what i was asking for. Thanks.

 

so when people ask what i drive i should say UA6? sounds like a plane.

 

Doesn't Accord use UA6, too?

 

i though the TL was a little longer than the accord.... or is it exactly the same?>

 

I thought the TL was an extremly modified accord body, much stiffer, different styling, etc.

 

the 7th gen accord uses CM6 and CM8



The 3rd gen TL is UA6

 

DC2, DC5, KA-7, KA-8, UA5, UA6...etc.

I think UA6 is the code you're lookin for.

 

UA6 sounds nice for the 3rd gen TL...i wonder if i can get an emblem that said UA6 instead of TL

 

Well, so why ppl used to say Acoord = TL??







LOL... good call.

 

well because so many things cross over, like the exhaust layout.. the cm6/8 have 3 cats as well as our TLs... they share basically the same J motor. the CM6 sway bar is exactly the same for our TL 5AT. a lot of little things that are the same like this. What honda did was just re-use some technology and knowlege base. it's not the same chassis, but some things do transfer over.

 

Thanks, this is what I wanna make sure.
