Honda probably sells ten Accords for every one Acura TSX in the United States. But ironically, the Acura TSX IS the Honda Accord in other parts of the world.
Still, if you're looking for a leaner, sharper Honda sedan, one with a the rev-happy 2.4 liter VTEC engine from the S2000 roadster, but don't care for the boy racer Civic with its split instrument panel, you're in luck.
I always felt the 200-2012 Honda Accord was a little too ponderous, especially compared to the 1996 Accord I owned back in the 1990's. That Accord, with it's high revving four cylinder and precise 5-speed manual gear box, always felt more like a poor man's BMW to me. Similarly equipped, the Acura TSX has that same precision and feels like a direct decendant to the old Accord.
