Accord appetiser

Honda unveiled the Accord Tourer, a conceptualised view of how the next Accord Euro might look (more here) at the Frankfurt Motor Show, but now the company has whipped out some detail images of the production version.

It's possible that the new car will be exhibited at the Melbourne Motor Show at the end of this month (more here), if Honda Australia chooses to preview the new car there, along with its American cousin.

If it's not at MIMS, these pics are all we're likely to see before the middle of the year, when the car will definitely be launched locally. That timeframe fits with a reported northern hemisphere summer launch for the Accord Euro.

However, there's also a chance that the 2009 Acura TSX, due for launch at the Chicago Auto Show next month will be a very strong reflection of the new Accord's design language, since the two cars have been badge-engineered twins in the past.
