Just noticed something amusing - to the Honda mechanic who said the TSX is a totally different car - direct them to the Honda AUSTRALIA web site. You will find this media release. So the TSX (Accord Euro) are the same car when it suits Honda?Quote:

The US magazine named the Acura RL "Best Luxury Sedan" while the TSX, a winner for the second year in a row, captured the "Best Sports Sedan" designation.
The "10Best Cars" list was compiled by a panel of 15 journalists who spent a week evaluating each entry on the basis of value, features and performance. Overall, 44 vehicles in 10 categories were nominated.
"It is always an honor to be named to the 10Best list," said Tom Elliott, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "For the RL to be recognized in the highly competitive luxury sedan category means Acura has hit its mark in terms of performance, world-class safety and leading-edge technology."
This is the first year that the RL has been named to the "10Best Cars" list. The car was completely redesigned and reengineered for 2005 with a 300 horsepower engine, Super Handling All-Wheel Drive, and the first North American application of a real time traffic system.

"...there's no doubt," said Car and Driver of the RL, "the new flagship is ready for the major leagues."
The TSX has earned "10Best" honors in each of the two years it has been on sale.
"Back for its second 10Best term," said the magazine, "the TSX is a symphony of painstakingly perfected details that add up to feline agility enhanced by a bevy of luxury features that come standard."
