Very plain but performance wise, it might be alright but look forward to civic swaps with this drivetrain soon lol.

Yeah looks very boring, but the variable-turbo nozzle 260hp motor + SH-AWD is probably a winning combination.

Looks promising.

Can't wait for Honda to step up and design a new, pissed roadster. An s2k replacement with around 300 forced-fed hp and weighing in at about 2,700 lbs sounds like fun.

As you guys well know, the TSX is based on the Euro market Accord.

Well, here are recently released pics of the new Euro Accord:








I definitely think that the first gen TSX looks better than all of the other variations (new TSX, new USDM Accord, new Euro Accord) because it had cleaner simpler lines that made the car look sleek and refined.

I wonder if the chasis is any good. I know it's no evo contender but perhaps Robispec can do something with it ?
