Only a month after the official reveal of the new Accord Euro (Acura TSX) Honda has unveiled a new Sport Pack designed for both the sedan and Tourer wagon models. The new kit includes custom bumpers front and rear, a set of sporty side sills, a blacked-out grille, a discrete bootlid spoiler, integrated fog lights and new 18in alloy wheels.

The interior also gets several new appointments including a titanium finish on some of the dash elements and leather trim on the seats, steering wheel and gearstick. Other features include an optional satnav system, USB port for iPod connectivity and a power operated tailgate in the Tourer model.

The car’s mechanicals have been left untouched, which means 2.0L and 2.4L petrol engines or a new i-DTEC 2.2L clean-diesel. All three engines get a six-speed manual transmission as standard while the two petrol units get an optional five-speed automatic with steering wheel shift paddles.

Unfortunately it doesn't help the exterior looks much. This will likely be the A-Spec or Type-S package here in North America, appearance-wise.

That kit's front looks like the IS-F.

I like the Wagon, I don't know what it is but I have an obsession with wagons and coupes for some reason lol. Some of my friends and family don't understand how I have my SC but my daily is a Matrix ha ha.

I actually like both, but like the wagon a little bit more.

Your point being ?

I think his point was that despite having a sports package, the accord still offers space, fuel economy, reliability, build quality, etc all in one package.


Most sports packages nowadays dont really add too much anyways. It's just little things here and there, mostly cosmetics.

Or it could have been despite the fact it has all those added features it's still just a Honda unlike his Lexus IS350

There is no point.

That's why I wonder why Honda would do such a thing.

It's like having a Yaris and Yaris S...

Although I am pretty underwelmed with the new TSX the 2009 TSX was in the top 10 searches for yahoo for a few days so there must be some buzz. Adding subtle body kits and tightening up the suspension may make the car a little more desireable but charging a couple thousand for just that is pretty lame. For a couple grand I want more horsepower and that is what Honda/Acura should do instead of just it being mainly cosmetic and the suspension being a little tighter with these expensive A spec model upgrades. The new TSX needs more power or at least an option for more power very soon not a couple years down the road. Where is the type S version? That is what many are waiting for.

You have a TL-S? Only they pull those #s stock and its still only mid-pack compared to its competition. The 335, IS350, and G35 all pull better numbers in a drag. I test drove all those cars in one afternoon and the TL-S is no-where near as powerful as the 335. IS350 was also very very impressive.

Guys, can we not bicker over cars not in this thread. We are talking about this car and this kit. I think it looks ridiculous, having such huge air dams with a puny I-4 with 201hp. The IS-F in contrast has a similar front end but over 200hp more, as it is FUNCTIONAL.
I was hoping bigger wheels would help but it has more wheel gap than Maximas. It needs a drop bad, then drop it into a well or cave.
