Wasn't the EL the "luxury" Civic, and sold only in Canada, where I thought Acura didn't exist anyway?

How much leather do you need in a Civic?:confused:

Yeah, the EL is Canada only. It's just a luxury 4-door Civic that looks WAY better (IMO). Acura is strong in Canada, we have all the Acura's you do plus more. The EL is basically the same idea as the Infiniti G20.

Heep . . . what do you mean by that?

The Civic EL = what?

is it a car? a trim?

and is it acura or honda?

do canada have acura
or is that a singly usa differential

I'll answer these in reverse order:

-We have Acura up here, in fact, our Acura lineup has more cars than the US.

-The EL is marketed under the Acura name, just like the Integra (RSX), in Japan the 1.6EL is rebadged as the Honda Domani, it is a reverse import from Canada, all ELs are made in Canada.

-It's a car, the 1st (97~98) and 2nd (99~00)Gen 1.6ELs have 3 trims, the SE(base), Sport, and Premium. The 3rd gen 1.7 EL (2001~present) has 2 trims, Touring and Premium. All trims differ from each other by equiptment level, only Premium trims from all gens have leather. Details for the 1.7EL can be found at www.acura.ca As for the 1st & 2nd Gen 1.6EL I'll post their specs if you really want to read through all of it :toothless

1.7EL is not a 3rd Generation EL. It's a 2nd generation.
97-00 model is basically the same thing except the grille, the side folding mirrors and polished rims for Premium models.

That's enough difference for the generations to split :finger:

also the options in different trims are all differently sorted between 97~98 and 99~00 ELs

Thanx in advance

in Japan the 1.6EL is rebadged as the Honda Domani

We get the Domani here in NZ as most of our cars come from Japan, here we get them from about 1992 I think right up to 1999 models, were actully buying a 1993 V0tec Domani this week!!

Cheers

so basically the front end is different and the tails are a little different? i really like the EL, i want to get the grill and headlights from the new ones on my 5th gen accord, that would be awesome :biggrin:
