Click above for a gallery of high-res shots of the Euro-spec Honda Accord.Our European brethren have enjoyed the Accord in a variety of forms over the years, and the soon-to-be-unveiled Acura TSX gave us a few hints as to what the Euro-spec Accord would look like prior to its unveiling. The profile is similar to the outgoing model, but the smoothed swage lines and slightly blistered fenders give it a more staid appearance. The front fascia does an admirable job of striking a balance between the outgoing model's angularity and the U.S. Accord's aggressive (ungainly even?) snout. Thankfully, the front end is devoid of the Acura-specific shield that's infecting the rest of the luxury marque's lineup.Three engine choices are available abroad, including a 2.0-liter i-VTEC four producing 154 hp, a 2.4-liter four dolling out 200 hp and a i-DTEC diesel that meets Euro 5 emission standards while outputting 148 hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque.

Accord rules!

Form the first time they launch Accord, I love the model ever since. I like the body structure and the features. It's gorgeous and classy.
Cheers to Honda!
I'm saving for that car already.

Honda Accord

The Prelude is a fun car. I really miss the sunroof and the nice low to the ground "point and shoot" driving it encourages.That having been said the Honda cars that I have had have all been quite reliable and I REALLY liked and miss the speed sensitive power steering.
