View Full Version : Accord Tourer JAPAN ONLY (For now...)
Statick 03-31-2009, 06:57 PM Check out the Japan only Accord Tourer for 2009. Notice the much nicer JDM gearshift console and aluminum pedals they have in Japan for the accords.... life is unfair!!!

Honda247 03-31-2009, 06:59 PM I would so buy this if it was here in the states. For what i do the more trunk space is perfect for hauling DELL part around......:yes:
walhaddi 03-31-2009, 06:59 PM Thats just an Acura TSX.
GTFan712 03-31-2009, 07:03 PM I like the shift knob and the e-brake handle. I think the taillights look ugly. It looks like a mommy-mobile from the back. Don't kill the Accord, Japan.

yep.....just a tsx wagon.
slowmo9494 03-31-2009, 07:04 PM I want the polished pedals!
MySilver_08 03-31-2009, 07:06 PM I'd try to buy it in a HEARTBEAT!!!!!!
Kiribati 03-31-2009, 07:10 PM I am really liking that interior.

Until you would realize how much it would cost.

Gosha 03-31-2009, 07:44 PM thats a TSX my friend
Big LrG 03-31-2009, 07:50 PM i really like the tacs if anyone hasnt noticed them...is that digital in the middle cluster?
Burton08 03-31-2009, 07:56 PM i like the compartment under the VSA button... much more useful for our little cunny that will hold nothing. and why is it that the european and japanese versions of our car are always so nice!

The 5th and 6th generation Accords that we own/have owned have a compartment in that location as well. It comes in handy for change. I agree the 8th generation should have it as well. Also, the european and japanese versions of cars tend to be nicer because cars tend to cost more in those locations.
Accourse 04-01-2009, 12:02 AM Hey! The glovebox fits flush with the trim!!!
jpdaigle 04-01-2009, 05:32 AM do you think we could use the tsx handbrake in the accord?? it would look a lot better than the stock...
www.strutking.com are saling exact copy of oem metal pedals.

ChickenCoupe09 04-01-2009, 06:04 AM The last picture doesnt have the pdeals
waffiel24 04-01-2009, 06:35 AM I just wish our gas pedal was floor mounted instead of hanging. IMO it looks so much better. And even the civic has a floor mounted pedal :scratch:
I-VTEC 04-01-2009, 09:48 AM thats a just sexy
im really liking the digital tach
and the pedals DROOL***
Gosha 04-01-2009, 10:28 AM need some AT pedals
sjlee 04-01-2009, 10:37 AM just buy an acura same thing
I think the OP was referring to the fact that it's a wagon. There is no TSX wagon available.
jpdaigle 04-01-2009, 11:53 AM they also make em for at :

Yeah but as a Honda, you wouldn't have to buy premium gas. This may be the next family-mobile for me.

Sorry about that! I'll give another try.

Kinda what I am thinking. A long with the more expensive components is a more expensive car.

yea right i would never be caught dead driving this thing!
its a freaking station wagon....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
However, I do love the interior, wish i had that in my car....
and why is their glovebox flush?!?!?
EDIT:

If so, i am totally getting one of these and driving straight to the 80's

Don't knock the wagon... used to love having a sleeper of a car .. dressed up as a station wagon.
E39 540 iT ... 315 Hp (crank - underrated at 282 from the factory) and 325 ft lbs of Tq... a bit on the heavy side, but went like CRAZY... and handled well to boot.
All the luxury and performace needed...and utility too... Perfect!
Although... I'm not feeling the second pic from Auto week...a little too dodge Magnum ish..

Very true, the wagon can be done right and cant say anything wrong about performance in cars like the one that you stated above.
but MAN do i hate the look of a wagon. it must be because of when i was a kid my Dad had one of these and my brothers always made me sit in the rear looking seat (very uncomfortable) even when there was plenty of room in the car!
anyway, i really am jealous of the interior
uhohkaitlina 04-03-2009, 11:43 AM i liked the first three pictures.... after seeing those last two i kinda wanna throw up. just...no.
sjlee 04-03-2009, 11:53 AM Yeah but as a Honda, you wouldn't have to buy premium gas. This may be the next family-mobile for me.
I haven't heard if Honda was going to start making them in the US. Unless you're considering importing one.

Many crossover SUVs fit the bill of a "station wagon".
shadow85 04-03-2009, 03:57 PM Wondering what will be the mid year change for the accord. The civic got a new front bumper, chrome trunk accent, and new wheels...
Osiris_x11 04-03-2009, 04:03 PM Wondering what will be the mid year change for the accord. The civic got a new front bumper, chrome trunk accent, and new wheels...Moarrr rattles, wind-sheer & road-noise, shimmy's, premature brake-wear, anddd flickering lights! :naughty:
(lmfao... all in fun! :D)
Viper98912 04-03-2009, 04:07 PM The Japan/Europe Accord Tourer you see there is the equivalent of a TSX (wagon) here. The Accord crossover you see later is what most likely will be sold here as something similar, except that I bet the US Accord wagon version will have a US Accord interior, not the US TSX/Japan Accord/Europe Accord interior you see earlier above.
No way Honda would put their US TSX interior in the US Accord.
walhaddi 04-03-2009, 04:52 PM I doubt they will release it here in the States. First the industry is suffering. Second, the station wagon models ain't selling at all. Look at the Magnum :thumbsdow

Didn't you hear? Wagons are cool again. My proof?
Exhibit A: The M5 Touring
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c45/seandavid010/Car%20Stuff/bmw_m5_touring_uff_00.jpg
Exhibit B: Mercedes AMG C63 Wagon
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c45/seandavid010/Car%20Stuff/0709_z2008_mercedes_c63_amg_wagonfr.jpg
Exhibit C: Jaguar XF Estate
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c45/seandavid010/Car%20Stuff/jaguarXFestate1.jpg
Exhibit D: Audi RS6 Avant
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c45/seandavid010/Car%20Stuff/audi-rs6-avant-2-big.jpg
...well, to be fair, they're cool in Europe, at least. :D
I mean, does it get any better than an M5 you can haul plywood in? Jaguar is, purportedly, cooking up an XFR Estate (http://jalopnik.com/5170736/jaguar-xf-estate-kitty-wants-a-wagon-for-frankfurt) (with 510 HP), and the guys on Jalopnik were going crazy over it the other day. I'd gladly take a V6 Accord wagon. Add a 6-speed tranny and it'd be one helluva sleeper. Now, if only the American market would get its act together, maybe someday I could actually BUY an M5 wagon... (sigh)

Didn't think the M5 Touring was available State side... only the "saloon".
There were a few who imported the E34 M5 Touring ... a Few Who converted the E39 to a Touring (none were officially built... well maybe one "unoficially" for the head of "M" division) but the E60 (from what I can recollect) was never imprted in to the US.
What a great Grocery getter that would make!
chachu 04-06-2009, 05:40 AM Did no one notice the petal shifter behind the wheel????
bok269 04-06-2009, 06:12 AM That XF is just a rendering. Rumor has it that it may be unveiled at the Frankfurt Auto Show, but nothing's been released yet.
As for the crossover that's coming here, remember that those photos show a mule, a prototype built using the bodywork of other vehicles. It will be quite different looking when it actually goes into production.
