context_page_description: The seventh-generation Honda Accord for the European and Japanese markets is a mid-sized sedan and wagon, produced by Honda from 2002 to 2007. It competed with the Opel/Vauxhall Vectra, Ford Mondeo, Volkswagen Passat, Mazda 6 and the Toyota Avensis, and upon its launch in October 2002 it won 2002-03 Japan Car of the Year.
  This generation of the European and Japanese Accord, previously separate models, were consolidated into one version designed to be more competitive in the European market. It became a top seller in its class in Australia, where over 45,000 sedans were sold between 2003 and 2008. The car was also exported to the United States and Canada, where it was sold as the Acura TSX. Outside North America the first Honda-built diesel engine was offered. In the Japanese market, the Accord was merged into the Torneo range to compete against the Mazda Atenza and Subaru Legacy.
  A variant of the larger North American Accord was sold in Japan as the Honda Inspire to compete in the entry-level luxury sedan class.
