Honda Accord SR-9 – Makes me wish I was a salary man
Black is the color of choice for the majority of salary men across China, they roll to work in black Audi’s, Regals, Passats, and even Santanas, now there will be something new (and black) for them to buy this year in the form of the SR-9:
The SR-9 may look like an Acura TSX with a slightly different nose job, but it was actually designed between Honda and Guangzhou Auto in an effort to make cars that are more suited to local tastes.
The SR-9 will be getting the choice of either a 2.0L or a 2.4L 4cylinder engine when sales begin.
The SR-9 measures (LxWxH) 4730x1840x1450mm with a wheelbase of 2705mm. The regular Accord on the other hand measures 4945 x 1845 x 1480 and has a wheelbase of 2800mm.
Pricing of the SR-9, or a launch date have yet to be announced, but it is expected to hit the market in the second half of this year and will give salary men all over China something else to buy, inevitably in black.

This is the Acura TSX, man! They’ve just changed the grille, bumper and taillights.
This car (as the Acura TSX) is the CL Accord, or JDM Accord, which is the Accord sold in Japan, Australia and Europe.
The other Accord you were referring to (the one with 2800mm wheelbase) is the North American Accord (which in Japan, is called Honda Inspire).
so, basically, in China, they are going to sell both the North American and JDM Accords, this latter one shown here in this post.
Yes, this is a rebadged Acura TSX (or to be more correct, the JDM Accord).
This will be a better drive than the US Accord, but will also cost a lot more – starting around 290k RMB for the 2.0L model.
From what I see from Honda China web site, the “SR-9″ is from东风Honda, not Guangzhou Honda.
The SR-9 looks really cool. I wish they would bring it into the states though… and I wonder how much the sticker price is going to be.
Thomas – it’s already sold in the states as the Acura TSX.
The SR9 is sold in Europe as an Accord Sedan and the Honda Accord Tourer. The Accord Tourer is very cool – check it out on; http://www.honda.co.uk/cars … why can’t the Tourer be sold in China when it look like this???

it may be the NA acura tsx rebadged, but this thing is nowhere near the fucking monstrosity that Dave Marek created….it doesnt have the “dynamic” back end or grille…no, even if all the specs were the same, if they introduced this to N. America, I gurantee that it would sell better than the crap designs coming out of acura these days
