While we're all awaiting the Euro-market Honda Accord's debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month, Honda appears to have already begun shipping examples of its new machine. At least that's the impression we get thanks to readers Zane and Bojan P., who sent the accompanying shots of the new Accord on a Japanese transporter. While the taillamps are mostly obscured on the white car, the dark one in front of it leaves nothing to the imagination, and overall, you get a pretty good sense of what to expect when we see this car unveiled as the new Acura TSX (probably in New York). In any case, we don't have much longer to wait. Thanks to Bojan and Zane for the tips!

lets just hope the design doesn’t follow the new Acura RL

Is this going to become the next USA Acura TSX?

Looks awful, I mean if they're going to sell this as an Acura, it looks so awful, it doesn't speak Acura(2nd tier luxury), oh well the Acura brand snobs will flock to their upscale overpriced Accord's.

I like that it looks more or less the same, I had an 05 carbon grey tsx 6spd and absolutely loved it. If this is the new one, and the rumors of an awd turbo type S prove true, than sign me up!

I see some Hyundai Elantra in that taillight..., maybe just a bad picture.

Can't tell much from the pic, but I think it looks nice--retains that same clean styling of the current TSX. Fortunately it's not adopting the ugly that is the RL.
It just needs SH-AWD as an option though.

I'm so greatful they didn't change to much of whats already the best looking premium compact FWD sedan out there. They will continue to flock because they're so much substance to the product, just like they've been for the last 4 years. This is exactly what the new TSX/Accord should be.

If you look at earlier pics of the TSX http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/03/spy-shots-2009-acura-tsx/ its pretty much confirmed it will have a scaled down version of the same 09 RL grill, woe to acura if this happens

I hope there is a quick aftermarket grill that will replace the shameful '09 RL grill.

Yay! At least one tip finally paid off! :D

Btw AB, the dark gray (or is it black?) car on the upper tier has it's front end all shiny and clear for the world to see. It looks exactly like the front end on the '08 USDM Accord.

too bloated! Acura is completely muddling their brand lines - tsx, tl, and rl will all be land yachts?
