Acura EL = rebadged Civic
I saw this and had to share. IMHO I don't think that the premium to pay for an Acura badge on top of the high price of a Civic in comparison makes it a worthwhile vehicle. I do like the tail lights and front fascia. It's different.

Acura does not exist in Japan. Honda sells everything under the Honda name there. Acura is just a brand name associated with quality for the rest of the world.

Man, I was thinking the same thing when I seen it on the freeway! Acura not looking too good (and this is from an Acura owner) the cars are starting to look bland (even the RSX).

except for the fake wood crap and the chrome around the gauge faces I don't really see any difference between that thing and the civic. At least when the Integra was sold there were obvious differences despite the fact that it was just a civic with a bigger engine.

i remember that on the older canadian civics an "Si" model was the american "Ex" and that if you wanted the american "Si" model in canada then you had to get the "SiR" model. strange our neighbours to the north

Yeah, at first i was skeptical, thinking the acura had a very similar body, but that it was a much larger sedan. Checked out hondacanda and acuracanada webpages, specifications are basically the exact same. I just closed the window, but the canadian Acura had and extra 10HP or so over teh civic if i remember right.
