Where does the Euro stand in Honda's lineup?

Yes,they are priced much the same,but they are very diffirent cars,appealing to diffirent
markets.
Bit in most countries where both models are offered,the Euro is offered as the premium product,eg In USA,Canada,Mexico,Pourto Rico and Guam,the Euro is badged as the very popular Acura TSX.

In Japan,the Euro is the traditional Accord,and in China its called the Spirior,meaning superior.

Other parts of the world get either the one,or the other.

For example,Europe only gets the Euro,as well as Israel,and Turkey in the Middle east,and South Africa/rest of Africa.

Australia and New Zealand get both,where Euro is by far the more popular.

South America, India,and Asia get the US Accord,but Euro is available through paralell importers in some countries,eg Singapore

Rumour is that the next generation will have only 1 model,which woild more than likely be the EURO,as the normal Accord would never sell in Europe,as its too big and not stylish enough.Still built in Japan,with the wagon version as well,but that is still over 2 years away...

There would then be no need for the Acura TSX,as they are basically the same car.

It's simple really - Honda Australia report the Euro as a "Medium" car for VFACTS, whereas the Thai/US Accord (both 4cyl and V6) is reported as a "Large" car for VFACTS purposes.

Sorry but this is not correct. The Thai/US Accord is still classified as a medium sized car in Australia:

Plus you don't need redbook to tell you this ... have you been in the back seat of this thing?

Whilst the appropriateness of listing the Accord as a Large car is debatable (the same applies to the Peugeot 508 "Large" car), I gaurantee you that Honda Aus report it in the large segment for VFACTS purposes.

Regardless of what Redbook say, it is officially a "Large" car according to Honda and FCAI.

Correct,the smaller Euro is a MEDIUM sized car,the bigger regular daggy Accord is a LARGE car.
