Spy Shots: Euro Honda Accord Tourer

The European Honda Accord Tourer, which sold in the U.S as the Acura TSX spotted at a gas station in Europe. The car's design is based on the Accord Tourer Concept that was shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show last September. While the car has no covering, we can see all those bits that Honda showed in teaser images last month.

It's shaping up to be one extremely sharp wagon. We'll see the car next month at the Geneva Motor Show.

While the taillamps are mostly obscured on the white car, the dark one in front of it fully reveals the taillights. Overall we get a pretty good sense of what to see when the car makes its debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month and as the new Acura TSX (probably in New York).
