Update: The 2009 Honda Accord Euro has been released. Click here for the latest story.

Honda’s upcoming Accord Euro (Acura TSX) has been spotted again, this time in its ‘Tourer’ wagon bodystyle. Last week we saw a disguised version of the sedan testing in sunny California and now the car has been spotted in Europe. The U.S. will once again only get the sedan variant but will finally get a diesel option, although this won’t be available until several months after the launch of the redesigned car.

The image, which was posted on Internet forums, reveals the entire body of the car including its new bumper and glass house. The only parts that have been concealed are the headlights and grille (simply blacked out in this case) but we can see the new shape of these items and it’s not hard to image what it will finally look like given the previous official teasers pictured below.

The all-new Accord Euro will be powered by a range of advanced, low emissions engines, and it will be one of the first cars to offer an entirely Euro 5-compliant engine lineup. Two petrol engines of 2.0L and 2.4L capacities and a 2.2L diesel engine mirror those in the current range, but power output will be boosted and emissions and fuel economy significantly improved as well. The new car will make its official debut at next month’s Geneva Motor Show and go on sale in Europe by the middle of the year. Its Acura cousin, however, won’t arrive until the end of the year.

    I ponder will this make it to the US?

    Probably not.
    Americans don't want to be seen in something that looks like a station wagon, they'd rather drive around in SUV's with 4 wheel drives and towing hitches they'll never use...
    Sorry, bad rant. I have nothing against SUV's (or any vehicle with special capabilities) if they're needed and utilized, but America seems to have a fascination with posing.

    It's a very nice looking car, I'd consider buying it as a family car . . . Well, if I wasn't 18 and was married.

    I am not sure about the American penchant for posing but this is one American who would buy the Tourer if offered. I specifically want a "station wagon". My daily driver is a four cylinder five speed manual Accord sedan (33mpg highway). Since Honda will not bring the Tourer to the US my much loved Accord will most likely be traded to a Toyota Venza or Subaru Outback later this year. Since I do not want to disappoint anyone in Americans I also keep a Corvette for weekend fun and I do have a full size four wheel drive Chevy pickup with a trailer hitch. The pickup often gets muddy and I assure you it tows often, everything from tractors to horses to our vacation trailer. Cheers.
