Besides, isn't that car a dolled up Camry? It's certainly not bad looking with those 19's or 20's on it.

What a moronic comment. Why don't you go learn some Japanese and be helpful to our guest? Baka! (sp?)

And, yes Neuron Bob, you did spell it correctly. Baka Yaru! Oh and on a lighter note, we both speed Sugoy wrong, it's Sugoi

Thank you JP!
Its great knowing that you guys love the TL in Japan. We have had this feeling for the Nissan Skyline GTR for years now.
We cant get it in the U.S. until next yr I hope. The great thing I love about the TL going to Japan is that people in Japan go crazy on upgrades. This means that the TL will have more options to choose from when customizing it.

I could almost say that these designs appeal most to the opposite country in which they were released. This combined with the fact that they were unavailable in those countries made them items of obssession

Trust me, I lived in Japan. Not everyone needs to know English to be successful in Japan.

Neuronbob, I must say, it came as quite a shock to me when I learned back in 2004 that Honda decided not to continue the Inspire lineage with the current the new 3G design. What shocked me even more was that Honda opted to go with the current USDM Accord design. Do you happen to have any insight into why they decided to do this?

IMO, HONDA is gonna set up Acura in Japanese market pretty soon. In order to do so, she must have to move the complete Acura line from US to JP.
Therefore TL will be not called INSPIRE in order to stand out of HONDA.
The current USDM Accord now called JDM INSPIRE is not right IMO. JDM HONDA knows that USDM Accord is a family sedan but it is the best choice to fill this space according to the size. In order to "upgrade" to INSPIRE level, she has to re-package the USD accord by swapping the interior of Acura TSX and adding some new stuff to it.
