Then it would need major rework to the mounts fit in the J series engine. They probably kept the entire range K series to minimise costs in terms of the number of production lines. If you want a 3.5L, get an Accord instead.

Not only taking out the tail lights, I need to squint until my eyes are almost closed to see the resemblance. :zip:

But the current Accord can take both the V6 and the K24, so it wouldnt be too hard to implement the V6 into the new Euro. Unless the current 4cyl Accord has a different chassis which I doubt.

me no rikey

Doors are different, windows are different, rears completely different, boots completely different, Number plate area is completely different, Bar shapes are completely different, Has smoother lines and the front is very different

Oh but i guess the fuel filler is on the same side :p

That's why it's made in Thailand. It's cheaper to run a production line there than it is in Japan. It's not only different parts/mounts. There are production lines, duplicate sets of tooling and more staff.

Understood.. Like I said , I dont see any hint of it. Whats the point of coming up with a concept that doesn't contribute much into the real thing.

Look at Mitsubishi's concept "X" and concept "Sportsback" revealed a few years ago, then look at the latest Lancer we have today...

I actually quite like it, but hopefully they don't gain too much weight, otherwise the extra 7kw will just go down the drain.

Could it be that the interior shots we are seeing are from the new TSX which differs from the Euro slightly in its current guise... VVVV
