2011 Honda Inspire: Small styling changes and a forest's worth of wood for JDM Accord

Here's basically another look at the 2011 Honda Accord coming....this is the Japanese version called the Honda Inspire....
Hot on the heels of the presentation of the updated 2011 Accord sedan and coupe models for North America, Honda today released the refreshed JDM version of the saloon that goes by the name Inspire in Japan. Since the Inspire already featured the 2011 Accord's reflector extensions at the back, Honda focused its attention on the front end that receives the same treatment with new grille and bumper designs as the American model. The JDM car also gets newly styled 17-inch alloy wheels.

In the cabin, it looks like Honda killed a forest to trim out the car's interior with wood (or faux wood) accents making an appearance on the steering wheel, the center, lower and rear consoles, door panels - you get the idea.

Some minor tweaks under the hood that help improve the fuel economy of the 280-horsepower strong 3.5-liter V6, which is the only engine on offer, and the now standard rain-sensing wipers complete the list of changes for the 2011 model year Inspire.

UK Honda Accord; 2009 Honda Accord Mugen 24sc Concept

One thing that the European and Japanese Honda line-up have in common is its Accord, they both use the sleeker, sportier and more compact version of the Accord as opposed to the large and more luxurious-looking Accord that we get, which is called the Honda Inspire in Japan. While Europe makes do with a new Type S oil burning Accord (the Type R could come back with this new generation), Japanese tuner Mugen takes the JDM Honda Accord, slaps on a bodykit and a Type-R-esque rear wing and finally supercharges the 2.4 liter DOHC engine. No power figures of the Honda Accord Mugen 24sc Concept have been released but I’d say something around the 300 horsepower range can be expected. Look after the jump for more shots of the supercharged Accord.
