Post Honda Accord

Only just started to think about this since checking out HAF. It seems to me that American Accords are not the same as UK Accords. For example, do you have the Prelude ?
In UK, the Accord [and Civic] top the polls as the favourite car of the blue rinse brigade whereas in USA it looks like a suitable choice for the street hooligan along with Suburu and Various GTI. Am I wrong ?

Depending on what year you're talking about, the UK & Europe get a different Accord vs. USA, starting somewhere in mid-'90s. USA Accord is bigger, and for some years the USA Accord was available in some other places badged as a Honda Aspire.

Beginning 2003 the UK/Euro/Japan Accord was available in USA badged as Acura TSX.

Honda isn't the only car company that plays that kind of game with names...

Yepp, I went to Ukraine last summer ( Not the best part of Europe, but my home nonetheless.) and all the TSX's were actually Accords, threw me off a bit at first lol. I do love the euro civic hatch though, I think the design is beautiful.
