Euro Accord Wagon in the US next year.

By  •  Published:  •  Last updated:





Honda will be selling it over here as a wagon version of the TSX. Finally.

A great choice for those who want, or need, a roomy but still quite compact wagon. But don’t want to spend the extra cash on a BMW or Audi.

Here is the official word:

“Acura announced today the addition of a TSX sport wagon to its 2011 vehicle lineup. Arriving at Acura dealerships in the Fall of 2010, the TSX sport wagon will be based on the popular TSX sports sedan, which features balanced performance, advanced technology and bold styling. Additional information on the 2011 TSX sport wagon will be announced at a later date.”

  1. That's great news! I wish there were more wagons available here. Don't care about 4WD and don't want the gas guzzling of an SUV, just want the storage and practicality of a wagon. Why is that so hard for US car makes to figure out?

    Kudos to Honda for doing the right thing. Now maybe we'll see some more "true" wagons appear, not the little squished SUVs like the Crosstour and Venza, etc.

    All they need to do is actually advertise and promote the thing, not pretend it doesn't exist, like the old Mazda 6 wagon.

  2. Looks like a Saab 903 SportCombi. And I welcome it with open arms. Come on Cadillac, Buick, and Lincoln (Alfa, maybe?), it's your turn.

  5. Awesome.

    I would much rather have a TSX wagon over the boring and overpriced A4 Avant or the 3-er wagon.

  6. Awesome! Glad to hear that Honda is finally making some good decisions regarding their future product pipeline!

  8. lol…I ownder if Honda/Acura is doing this just to annoy GM/Cadillac? I'm sure this will be cheaper than the CTS wagon. Way to burst their bubble! lol

  11. I have wonder with the new direction of Buick if this will prompt GM to bring the Insignia sportwagon over here to add to the Regal lineup.

  13. Looks good. But please, it's going to be FWD. So threat the A4 and CTS will whomp it. But I would consider it as a cheaper alternative.

  14. honda does FWD best. this car will be a great alternative junior executive wagon just like the tsx has been a great alternative junior executive sedan to the german brands. and with automakers like bmw getting all weird with creating new categories of vehicles (X6, X1, 5 series GT, etc.) i'm pleased to see something hopeful come from honda

    i'd still buy a mercedes c-class wagon…if it was sold in america…

  16. ABOUT TIME! But why do we have to wait an entire year for it? I'm sure this and the Accord Crosstour will cost the same, at least people finally have a great honda wagon choice that isn't the CRV, RSX, or Crosstour. A real wagon…unbelieveable.

  17. i love how they call their "sport sedan" with 62/48 weight distribution cars with base 4 cylinder engine and 5 speed automatic and "balanced performance"

  20. Keep it in the mid 20s and they will have a hit. However I am afraid the price will be closer to mid 30s.

    Gross! Look at that cheap interior! The rear ugly too! I'd take a CTS Sportwagon over this anyday!!

    The CTS wagon is going to cost $15,000 more.

    I wouldn't buy a GM product, you go ahead though. A company that still hasn't proven itself that is STILL sucking the taxpayer teat.

  22. Once GM came out with a sucessful CTS wagon in the US, you knew it was just a matter of time before Honda & others copied. Keep copying GM Honda, and don't try having brainfarts on your own (like the Accord Crosstour, or whatever that monstrosity was called.)

  23. I don't like the look of it but Honda is very smart to bring this out after Saab's wagons died. Lol. That's very very very smart. It would take about 2 years before anyone can make it to compete with this. That's smart. Maybe VW but Hondas cost less. Plus with this not being a CUV like the Venza, it doens't conflict with Honda's CUVs. But why buy the Venza over the Highlander?

  25. Acura has some of the nicest interiors around, I don't know what that guy is talking about. have you ever seen gm interiors?

    Uhhh The Accord Wagon has been around long before that hideous and insanely impractical CTS wagon.

    $50,000 for a Cadillac? No thanks.

    Agreed, and they last.

    My uncle had a '99 STS which was falling apart after 80,000 miles.

  27. Why are people talking about the CTS wagon???

    It is priced ABOVE this vehicle and it is in another CLASS.

  28. But why buy the Venza over the Highlander?

    Because the Venza is better looking, more interesting, and not a "mommy SUV?"

    Why buy EITHER?

    Both are a boring Toyota, at least Honda still injects some driving passion into their vehicles.

    Bland or not, Hondas drive better than Toyotas and Nissans.

    Have you? Have you even been in a Cadillac CTS? It unquestionably blows any Acura interior away. Especially the TSX. But it is true that the CTS wagon is in a different price class and isn't even a direct competitor to the TSX.

    Acura does have very nice interiors, that can't be argued.

    Aside from the stitched leather on the dash of the CTS, I personally don't think it is that nice. There are still a bunch of really cheap touches here and there that completely ruin the experience for me. That is GM though…

    This Acura is what the Dodge Caliber SHOULD have been. Clean, simple, unpretentious at $25k.
