The first generation TSX was nothing other than a North-American version of the European Honda Accord. Though it pleased purists, many criticized the absence of a V6 engine. The new TSX not only boasts a more imposing body, but it is now possible to order a version equipped with a 3.5-litre V6 engine, taken from the TL. The TSX has been better adapted to the tastes of North-American motorists, but some purists miss the first generation’s agility.
