Unless you come across one of the very rare examples of a conversion, the chances of you seeing an Acura TSX in Germany are slim to none. You might however run into the TSX’s very close cousin: the 2.4L European Honda Accord.
Isi and her 2009 Honda Accord Type S hail from Bavaria – that’s right, there’s love for the CU2 even in Germany. In fact there’s a community of CU2 owners, and even a German forum specifically for those interested in the eighth generation Honda Accord – accord2008.net.
There’s really nothing “Acura” about Isi’s white pearl Accord, but it has some really nice features that I think may inspire some TSX owners here in North America. All the mods should work and fit just as well on a TSX, at least in theory. In just a few years Isi’s Accord has been through several iterations, but the current black on white, or “panda” theme, adds a unique sporty/aggressive style that is definitely my favourite look so far.
Thanks goes out to Isi for sharing the gorgeous photos and for providing a current list of mods below.
