We have one here at Southern Miss. 1.6 el. It is from canada and only made there. They are pretty neat. 1 piece headlights and half red half clear tails. The one here has plates from Ontario.

I guess you could say the same about Toyota and Lexus - in my opinion, lexus's are overpriced.

^^^ they really are. But it may have some suspension or something changes so its a smoother ride, but from what I can see. Its a civic body with an acura symbol

Actually - the EL has VTEC, which you can't get in a 4dr. Civic in Canada. Plus it has disc's on the rear. The top-end 4dr Civic here (the LX-G) has drums and no vtec (so, I assume, the same as the US?).

So ya - leather, vtec, discs, sunroof, fake wood trim, ugly dash and equally ugly mags (imho).

All for about another $5k CAD.

HTH!
