Something that would do well in the US I feel. There are still people who buy wagons and hatches. Just look at the Mazda 6 wagon.

I think they could steal the market if they brought this over. I liked the last Accord Wagon personally.

There are a lot of nice cars in Europe that never make it to the US and this looks to be one of them. What a shame.

Again we're reminded how much more expensive vehicles are in Europe (even after adjusting for taxes] than in the US. I'll take the cheap US pricing any time, and in return Europe can keep many of the models which aren't sold in the US - its a fair trade-off!

Honda kinda shot themselves in the foot with their Euro Honda equals US Acura cars. What really slapped them was that Euro cars are generally smaller in size than the big US sedans we cruise in today. I mean to me, a 1997 Camry is a big car. But I also have driven nothing but a 94 Saturn, 00 Civic Coupe, and now an 05 Matrix XR AWD, so for me anything bigger is BIG.

But I really think they could have made the cars bigger for the US and kept the same styling, especially the front ends and headlamp design. Compared to the US spec Accord, this really looks almost luxury in appearance.

It seems Ford is not the only company getting the hits for not bringing their European styles over here. Although for Honda, if you want a Eurospec car, you can get it as an Acura and pay thousands more.

To Europeans the Camry was a big car too - that's why don't get it anymore.

I'd buy a TSX wagon in a NY minute, esp. if it came with AWD.
