Default What's the difference between the US Accord and the Euro Accord

I took note that the Euro Accord looks different, is it a different platform? Different sheet metal? what's the story?

size is smaller for Euro Accord.
a little different look.
no 3.0 sohc Vtec for Euro, but Euro has 2.3 I-Vtec.
there are Type-V (I don't think is VGS, but not sure) and Type-R for Euro Accord.
thats all I know...

the most interesting one is the JDM Accord Euro-R (actually is a JDM Type R accord)

If size is different, would that mean its a completely different platform? Is it the last gen Accord with new skin?
