Safe to say - Accord Euro CL9's were imho honda's success, one of the reasons was due to the fact that they were assembling parts from the spare parts bin from other honda models, hence why we share similiarities to the TSX and the accord. and as much as we love accord euro's it sucks to know that our cars were actually made from their scraps lol.
When something a bit more original comes along like the CU2, which is 99% identical to the TSX version - it was a bit of a flop, and honda has lost their eye on the ball in terms of mid-sized sedan market.
I'm getting so annoyed with Japanese car manufacturers only giving us the boring versions of their cars; and when (by accident?), they actually give us something good that nets them heaps of cash and appeal, they scrap it for the boring base-models that only conservative middle aged public servants desire to drive.

Euro's are everywhere. So either they are scrapping it in the face of great sales (or maybe just cu2 failed?) or they made some kind of blunder in selling them too cheap (unlikely).

they *WERE* everywhere for the first generation.
2nd generation on wards it started it's slow death.
Besides, our market was irrelevant, the cash was from Europe (as the honda accord) and USA (as the acura tsx).
The CU2 Flopped in Europe, it was gone againest BMW 3, Merc C class entry level executives, and it pretty much flopped every comparison.
And in US it was killing Acura TL sales, so it has to go, as a result we have the TLX now in LHD countries.
